Seriously the longest days of my life

10 days and counting.  well then again, who knows because doctor boudreaux says it could be a few weeks.  we have an appt scheduled for next wednesday and we'll go from there and maybe discuss and induction.  I think i'll just start walking and eating pineapple next week and see what happens.  Maybe she'll come right on schedule.  I can't wait to see my baby girl.

things i'm looking forward to:
 - my old wardrobe
 - bending over
 - putting on my own shoes
 - shaving my hoo ha and legs
 - soaking in a bath tub
 - walking or running on my treadmill
 - see my beautiful daughters face
 - "loving" my husband again
 - snuggling with my husband, feel my body (not my belly) next to his
 - not waking up in the middle of the night sweating like a linebacker
 - caffeinated coffee
 - clothes that just "fit"
 - a normal woman sized bra
 - new underwear
 - being able to kneel at church, i sort of miss that
 - having people excited to see me and my face (instead of my growing belly)
 - regular visits to the bathroom
 - sitting down and standing up (mainly from my couch) without any assistance
 - riding my bike
 - wearing high heels (although i've worn them almost the entire pregnancy, i miss them already)
 - my designer skinny and regular jeans that i bought a measly 2 1/2 months before i found out i was pregnant
 - nights out to dinner where i can have a drink with  my husband
 - "drinks" with the girls (although I realize I won't get that much of this either)

I'm sure I can think of many more.  I know I can also think of many reasons why not to get pregnant and/or not to have a baby, but in two weeks I will be excited to be able to get on this blog and write about the million reasonx to actually have a child and all the wonderful things that come with motherhood.  Heck, it took me almost 35 years to reach this point, i still can't believe it's just around the corner.

Claire's bedding came in today and Carey had the sheets washing before I even got home.  It's all put up and ready to go...now if we can get the walls decorated and curtain fabric picked out, we should be ok.  I Love her room so much, I can't wait for her to see it and I hope she likes it too!

OH and I can't wait to be able to roll over and sleep on my stomach....oh how I've missed that, cross my leg over Carey's and feel his body heat.  I miss that so much.  I can't wait to see what our baby girl looks like...it's so exciting.  It's finally truly exciting.  Thank God the hospital is not far away.  I hope she's smart and can dance.  (random last thought).

Good Night.  I can't believe I'm still awake, I could have gone to sleep at 6:30 tonight.
So thankful that my husband has been cooking and doing so much for me these last few months. i have an amazing husband and i'm truly blessed.

he also "quit" smoking today.  LOVE that man.    oghhh contraction...dang these hurt.
