I packed my stupid bag...

I packed my bag for the hospital. Jimmy kept asking me when I was going to pack my bag and I kept avoiding the question. He finally cornered me and flat out asked me why I keep avoiding packing my bag for the hospital. I told him I didn't want to because then the baby wouldn't want to come. To me it is kind of like...why wash your car when you know as soon as you do the next day it is going to rain! So I gave in on Sunday night and packed my bag...then on Monday I went to the Dr's for my 38 week check up and...

Still absolutely NOTHING. My Dr left yesterday afternoon for 2 weeks of charity work in Africa…and so at the end of my appointment she said “make an appointment for the 25th (my due date)…I’ll see you when I get back” AH! Not what I wanted to hear!! I do see a different Dr next Monday, while she is gone though. She did say that if I do come and see her on the 25th and still have not delivered that I will be induced on the 28th. So we’ll see. I just want to have this baby already!!

On a good note…the carpet is in the basement! It looks like a real room, no more cement floors!! Tomorrow our new sectional couch gets delivered and then I will take some pictures to post and show you guys.

Also, the one thing that we didn’t get for our showers – that we knew we wouldn’t get because it was so expensive – was our stroller. Well I won a brand new 2008 model on eBay last week!! And it came yesterday! Now we just have to wait for the infant car seat attachment part and we are set! We wanted a really nice jogging stroller that could serve many purposes and this one fit the bill. It will be the only stroller we have…we didn’t get one of the regular bulky ones that comes with a car seat…we just don’t have any place to store 2+ strollers so we went for one really nice one that we can use day to day as well as for jogging. So that in June I can use it to run in my first 10k since the baby has been born and it is a jogging stroller 10k! I am so excited.

We also got a great deal on a carpet shampooer! We were borrowing my friend Kelly’s, but then I was looking online one night and came across 2 stackable Kohl’s online coupons for 15% off each, for a total of 30% off. So I looked on there to see if they had any carpet shampooers on sale, and I found one on sale from $179 to $149 and then with the 30% off it came to like $108!! And shipping was only like $6!! So for $115, we got a brand new carpet shampooer that will be delivered to our door tomorrow. I can’t wait. Then I can shampoo the living room/dining room, and the baby’s room…and our room…if I feel ambitious :)

So we are set, clothes are washed, baby’s room is cleaned out (minus shampooing the carpet in there), the baby’s fish tank got two little gold fish on Sunday, the pack and play is set up in the basement, the swing is together, the monitor is set up. Now all we need is a baby!!

Speaking of baby’s I am going to go and visit Kelly and baby MacKayla tonight. I need to get my fill :)

If there is any news I will keep you guys posted…but don’t hold your breath…

Adios :)
