4am

I hate it when I get insomnia. There is absolutely nothing on TV this early in the morning. News and paid programming. Watching the news is good but not the same stories every 15 minutes. And for some reason paid programming really does make me want to call them up and get the best skin care stuff and weight lose program and oh! the kit to make a $1,000,000.

Finally around 5am "Angel" (the vampire with a soul) comes on TNT. I do forget that I can catch things online. And I suppose I should get used to this. I'll be up quite a bit feeding the baby soon enough!

40 weeks...

and still pregnant. I thought my 38 week picture would be the last of my big belly. But nope. They are going to induce me later this week. I think I'm ready. I mean I guess I really have no choice now do I?

Baby Bibs

Here are some baby bibs I cross-stitched for my baby (you even get a bit of Athena's tail and it looks like Alley's leg also has made an appearance!):

Tomorrow is my due date. I can't believe it is here! Granted he isn't coming. I still feel really good; no contractions; and just no signs he is wanting to make an entrance. I'm not good at waiting either. I'm ready or as ready as I'll ever be. The crib is made; diapers are put away; clothes are washed; I can't think of anything else to do! Part of me really wants to meet him; but there is another part of me that is so scared! I'm going to be a mom, and it was something I thought would never happen. I figured if it did great but never thought it would. And here I am. One day before my due date. I can't believe it. Hopefully the next post will be that he is here!

Jon Won!!

I don't think I let the two people who read this blog know that my brother won the contest for his band to play at the Rothbury Festival. Here is a link to see him play the last song of their performance:

38 Weeks and still pregnant!

I thought I'd take pictures every two weeks hoping that this will be my last picture but thinking it might not be! I really don't think this kid wants to join us, not that I really blame him!! He seems pretty content in the belly. I've realized I need to completely slow down and just rest. Last weekend I did too much and on Sunday ended up not feeling so good. Food is starting to make me sick again so I need to be careful as to what I eat also. I've finally brought a couple of bags down so I can pack for the hospital. I still need to get a few things. I guess I'm not in a huge rush myself. I'm physically ready to give birth; emotionally and mentally not so much. My life is going to change so much and I just never planned for this. Never thought I'd be pregnant. I'm looking forward to the change because I know it will be the best thing ever but also scared. I swear if there was a color wheel for emotions I'd be every color: scared, excited, irritated, bored, etc.

So here I am at 38 weeks:

36 Weeks Baby Bump

I can't believe I am at week 36! I'm not completely convinced that he'll be early but I'm making sure I get certain things done by the end of next week just in case!
