Prego Update

I am still pregnant despite Alan's attempts to hurry Peter along. He tells him everyday that he is done so he can come out now, and then usually tries to shake him out which I keep telling him won't work! He thought I should go for a jog the other day to help speed things up-which I of course laughed at! I told him the only way I was going for a jog is if he strapped me to his back, he didn't like that idea so much.

At my last Dr visit my due date was moved back to the original date I had calculated of the 16th so that only leaves 6 more days. Craziness! Even if I go over my due date a bit we are still just a week away. And I am SO glad I am off work, I have been super tired, I sleep-(well kinda, as much as a 9 month pregnant women that feels like a beached whale can sleep)-like 9-10 hours a night and then my energy wears off around 3 pm. Peter has definitely dropped so I can't bend, or sit in certain positions. Putting my shoes on is quite a job, it's a good thing I don't go out of the house much!

And when ever I do I get this look from people that makes me laugh-from the women it is a "I've been there-done that and glad I am not doing it now" look, I even had one lady turn her back to me in the elevator because she was afraid I might pass my pregnant cooties to her! And the men, well they don't usually know what to say, they usually avoid eye contact and steer very clear of me, like I am going to go into labor right then and they are going to have to deliver the baby if they make eye contact. It is quite humerous.

But all in all, things are going well. We are just in waiting mode with my and Peter's bags packed, the car seat ready and buckled in and Alan's phone ready and waiting to send out the text that let's everyone know when the big day is. Oh, and we have practiced the route to the hospital so that I think Alan can drive it in his sleep and between his professors and fellow classmates he remembers to check his phone while at school in case I call!

Sorry, no pictures today, I will have Alan take some tomorrow and post them.

PERFECT!

I'm impressed that you've practiced the route to the hospital. I didn't know people actually did that. Come to think of it... I don't even know where the nearest hospital is to me...

I love those, "Oh you are really pregnant looks." I got them all the time with Bella toward the end. The funniest was going places after I had passed the due date. People would ask when I was due and I would tell them a few days ago. They would give me the best looks. I think they were afraid I was going to go into labor right then and there and they would have to deliver the baby or something. Hopefully you don't go over and then you won't have to worry about that. Good luck, let us know if you need anything.

I was just wondering the other day when your baby would come. I knew it was soon. Good thing huh! Good luck with everything. Hope is goes well. We'll look forward to seeing pictures of your little guy soon enough.
