No Baby Yet

Well, Today I am officially three days overdue! I am so bummed. I really though that she was going to be here by now and its really frustrating that she is still in my overstretched belly. I think that I got my hopes up when the doctor said that I'll either be up to a week early or on time, I know that that's a guestimate, but I really had high hopes. Today is my first "official" day off work, and I haven't even had her yet, its kinda hard to be taking un-needed time off. Steve is back to work, and I am so bored! I dont know how stay at home wives do it, cause I've only been up for four hours and I've already cleaned the entire house, done the dishes, in process of doing the laundry, and have scrubbed the bathroom. What else is there to do but clean? I know that I am venting all my negative feelings today, but I think that every first-time overdue mother can relate to these feelings. We are so stretched, miserable, and achy...but that's not even the half of it! I think that mostly I just want to carry her in my arms, hold her little hand, and just love her. Everyday I walk into her nursery and wonder, how much will she weigh? Will she come soon? What does she look like?" I have a doctors appointment to be induced on the 30th of April, so at least I know that I only have 10 more days max, but I hope that she gets here sooner than that.

Baby's Room!

Well today we finally moved out the bed that was just chillin in the baby's room (I hate to keep calling her "The Baby" but we aren't for sure about names yet, so baby it is for now), and we were able to finally set things up in the layout that we wanted, and then put things on the walls. My sister Angie made all the vinyl dots and rings that are around the entire room, and they turned out so cute! So if anyone is interested her site is: http://www.angiesvinyl.blogspot.com, she has some really amazing ideas. As for the furniture... I found a changing table on KSL for $10 and steve painted it white with his air-gun, and the crib was a yardsale crib my mom found, so steve got new parts for it and painted that as well. Let me just tell you how cute it looks. I'm so glad that we didn't just go out and buy an expensive bedroom set, this is so much cuter and adds more character to the room! This room has been a really long process, but it turned out so nice and it is now ready for whenever she decides that it is time to come out!

Baby Shower!

Well, a few saturdays ago, I had another baby shower. This one was from my mom's side of the family, and Steve's dad's side of the family. It was such a great time, we sat and visited, played a game, opened gifts, and then had a delicious lunch. It was really nice to have the ladies in my family all together. This shower, unlike my last one, I actually remembered to take some pictures! I was a little torn as to whether I should post the pics or not, because I am like HUGE! But I decided to post some of them. Its really frustrating because I have such a short torso that there really is nowhere for my baby to go, but out. So I have this really big belly balooning from just my front, unlike everyone else who gets pregnant where they distribute the weight evenly over their entire midsection. But I only have two more weeks left to go, so I guess I'll just have to handle it.
