YANKEE DOODLE SWEATHEART

Who would have guessed that our newest little one would be a July baby? Well, unless he/she gets a move-on today ... July it will be!

DEADLINE DAY

Today will bring a tad sense of relief in this prolonged pregnancy of mine. I go into the doctors for a nonstress test and ultrasound to make sure the baby is still doing okay. If all is well, I'll get to schedule my induction date!!

"MOUTHING" OFF

For the past couple of days Matthew has been saying something that -- until today -- I couldn't quite figure out. The simple 2-word phrase, which he only says when he either drops something or can't seem to find what he's looking for, didn't really make sense to me at first. "Oh sit!" he says with extreme conviction.

COAXING - THE MEXICAN WAY

Well, as you've probably guessed ... I'm still pregnant. Thus far I've tried many household remedies for inducing labor: jumping up and down, mopping, weeding, vaccuming, walking, etc. Since none of these have worked, we're taking DESPERATE measures tonight: Mexican Cuisine.

MONDAY BLUES

Well, I went to the doctors today with high hopes, but left with the Monday blues :( There has been no progress w/ the baby in regards to labor ... I'm still 3 cm. dialated. Of course, the possibility of going into full on labor any time is quite large, but seeing as though I've had no signs of labor, I'm guessing it's still a ways away!!

FATHER'S DAY

It is Father's Day and Ashley refuses to give me my gift (a new baby). Sometimes she really has a hard time sharing. I can see where Matthew gets that from. Anyway Matthew and Ashley have given me an exceptional fathers day. Although it would be better if I had two children. Hope to have news for all of you soon.

FINAL WEEK

This is officially my LAST week of pregnancy!! Holy cow, I never thought I'd get this far in my pregnancy ... seeing as though I'm as large as a boat! However, here I am. 39 weeks pregnant, uncomfortable, tired, unable to breath through my nose and completely ecstatic for our newest arrival!!
