Still Here - 38 Weeks!

Yep - still here, no baby yet! Sorry I didn't update last week - somehow the time just got away from me and I didn't have a picture to upload!!

So I'm 38 weeks as of yesterday ~ picture here to prove it (including me trying out the new glider in Ben's room - VERY comfy!!!):



Had my second baby shower last Friday night and it was fabulous! Cam, Kellie & Kate did a wonderful job and it was a lot of fun!!! Everyone was extremely generous and we now have everything we need for Ben's arrival - which we'd like to be sometime soon!!

Feeling good - very tired, not sleeping at all at night.... I'm so sick of people telling me to sleep now while I can - are you kidding? I can't sleep at all! It'll be easier to sleep for an hour at a time after baby arrives than this complete insomnia I have now! At least once the baby is here there will be a good reason to be awake at night - right now it's just frustrating!!

Otherwise feeling good - doctor's appointment later today but not expecting much news.... just hoping to hear that everything is still going well and that maybe he'll arrive sometime soon!

Our hospital has wireless internet in all the rooms now, so as soon as I'm up to if after he's born, we'll get a pic uploaded on here for everyone to see!!! We'll try to keep everyone posted!!

36 weeks!

Ok - time to enter the home stretch of this pregnancy!!!

Let's see... news this week - we closed on our house!! Yes - we are officially homeowners - YIKES! So now the fun begins - stripping wallpaper, painting, etc. We got started with a little bit last night, now it's time to focus and get lots done so that at the very least, the bedrooms are painted before Ben arrives... the rest of the rooms can be painted after we move in if we have to. And we are going to try and do things as "green" as possible - we are buying no-VOC paint for all the walls (can't use it on cabinets and trim b/c it won't cover the wood, that stinks!), so no odors and no toxins as much as possible! I'm sure there will be lots of before/during/after pictures to post - but I'll save those for a separate entry for now!

Here's me at 36 weeks - measuring about 1 week ahead, doctor says he's a normal size though and not gigantic. All of my vitals are great - and I was released from the diabetes clinic yesterday. I still have to test and follow the diet, but no more appointments if my numbers stay good. YAY! No "progress" to report yet per my doctor - Ben is quite comfy in there for now!



That's about it from Minnesota - weather has turned less humid and beautiful - perfect timing for all the house work we need to do! :-) Hope everyone is well!
