Isn't That Special!

I feel special today! Not only am I 38 weeks preggo today, but one of my favorite blogs featured my bird fabric lamp on her blog today! With Two Cat s is a really great blog about being a mommy and decorating and all sorts of fun stuff. I pretty much just lurk on her blog, but I am a follower! So today she posted things that caught her eye on her follower's blogs. I honestly saw my lamp on her blog and thought, Someone else has my lamp! I'm a little slow these days!!! But hopefully this baby won't be slow coming... yesterday my doc said I was 1/2 cen dilated and 50% effaced... so it's a start. Please pray and send happy thoughts to my friend Heather of the EO who is in the hospital with some pregnancy complications. Let's hope her little acorn girl can hang out much longer and grow nice and big before she makes an appearance.

Happy Easter

perezhilton.com I am FREAKING out!! My two pre-teen idols are going on tour!!!! Tiffany and Debbie Gibson have decided to join forces (about time!). I heard it on the news this morning and I launched into singing all the songs i could remember. It brought happy memories back from 5th and 6th grade, singing along to my tapes and me and my friends trying to copy what they were wearing. Such good times! I love the 80's!

Jug O' Pee

This may be TMI but i just had to post. As my pregnancy comes near a close, I find all these weird things happening. Like my doctor thought i might be showing signs of Preeclampsia , so for 24 hours i had to collect my urine and put in a big jug AND keep it refrigerated. I was tempted to write over the label and put Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice (i didn't!) But everything is now fine, no preeclampsia here. So that worry is over. They did an ultrasound on Wednesday and i have a BIG ol' baby growing in me!!! 7lbs and i'm only 36 weeks. If i go to my due date (which my doctor is predicting i will) I could have a 9 pounder! whoo whee! He has a full head of hair and is really long. Just like his mom! Well I was at one time. When i was born i was 21 inches long which is big for a baby. I only grew to be 5'2" though. And all my super model hopes were dashed. And on top of all that my baby's kidney is a tad big, and so they want to do a follow-up with a Pediatric Urolog

Here I am...

OOOOFTAH!!! yes, we do say that in Minnesota. If you've seen the movie Fargo we do talk like that. No one wants to admit it, but Ooh yaah, you betcha we shurre doo! Anyway, I am so tired. 2 days shy of being 36 weeks being pregnant and I feel like I could go anytime. I am huge and uncomfortable. Water buffalo. I can't even wear my wedding rings because by the end of the day my fingers look like sausages! OOOFTAH!!! I'm so ready to meet this little guy. I have a feeling though that i'll probably go right up to my due date (1 month from today!!) So i'll just wait uncomfortably until he makes his appearance. There is a silver lining... my last day of work is April 21st!! And not just maternity leave, but full on, done with work, going to be a stay at home mom! I have been at my job just shy of 4 years. There have been many good days, lots of not so great days, and lately too many really bad days. Maybe because I'm just crabbier when i'm preggo? But i kid you no
