36 Weeks...

36 weeks. 4 more to go. One more until I am considered full term!


Ok. I think it has hit. This baby can come any time now. We don’t know when. It might be next week, might be 4-5 weeks from now. Who knows. Ahh!! I just want to know.

Still no news on my friend Kelly either. She is due 2 weeks before I am…Saturday the 9th. She also had her first a week early, so she is itching to have the baby too. She said she’d like to wait until Feb at least….so 3 more days and she’ll be happy. She has a Dr's appointment tomorrow too...we both go to the same Dr. so hopefully she'll have more news tomorrow.

Baby news to share though…Tiffany over at Colorado Mama had her baby girl on Sunday the 27th!! Lily Anne :) She is adorable…you need to go to her site and see the pictures of her new bundle of joy and her big sister Mikayla. Too adorable.

I go to the Dr’s tomorrow to find out if anything is going on. So hopefully I will have some news or info tomorrow night to share.

My parents are currently on a cruise to the Panama Canal…so I have been notified that I am not allowed to have the baby until the evening of the 9th of Feb…when they get back :)

Though I am at the point where I have had enough…I would really like to wait until the 19th of Feb to have the baby. See we have a class going on at work that started yesterday and finishes up on the 15th, so that would be perfect. Class would be over, work would be done being busy, Monday is a holiday and no one would be here at work, so I could come to work that day, relax and get some things done and then prepare to be out for a while…and I’d have the baby a little early, but not too early. So we’ll see. That would be a perfect world and we all know, that babies don’t really follow the perfect world schedule.

Jimmy and I are getting our cars detailed next Wednesday so that they are nice and clean and then we can go and get the car seats installed by my friend Tim (Kelly’s husband) who is a state trooper and certified in car seat installation. So for all of you that live on the east coast…be expecting a severe snow storm or at least enough snow to make the roads all nice and salty so that our nice detailing jobs will not last long…that is my history of washing my car and detailing it. It always seems to rain or snow the next day so my car no longer looks clean!

So the plan for getting everything completely done and ready is the end of next weekend the 10th. This weekend is touch up weekend on the main part of the basement, we have some paint touch ups to do and we need to clean the floor and get up most of the dry wall dust. Once that is done, we have the appointment with the carpet guy to have the carpet installed on the 9th. Then I can set up the swing and pack and play in the basement since it will all be finished except for the bathroom. Then once that is done, we can move the vanity and toilet that are sitting in our living room in boxes down in the basement to be put in the bathroom. Also Tucker’s crate can go back in the basement and out of the living room. Then I just need to shampoo the carpet in the living/dining room and baby’s room and we are set! Then the baby is safe to come at any point after that. So I don’t think I am going to start packing a bag or doing anything else more preparatory until that weekend. I might be kicking myself if the little one decides to come early. But you live and learn I guess.

Now though…if the Dr seems to think that there is a good chance the baby is not in it for the long haul…then plans will undoubtedly change. So only time will tell. We also have the ultrasound on Friday to check the baby’s size…so I am expecting to know A LOT more at my appointment on Monday the 4th after she gets the US results back and all.

Adios :)
