Thinkin' Too Much

Exsisting in a bubble of confusion most call adulthood. Defining life while striving to be the best wife, mommy, daughter, and friend I can be.

Still No Baby...17 days to go?

So, because I delivered WM at 37 weeks, I was just sure the same would happen with all my children (stop laughing, I can hear you...a girl can hope can't she?). Today is 37.4 and other then some general cramping every now and then, there are true no signs of the big event. I am still carrying high and then baby is moving like crazy. I am not totally going crazy because I still have a list of little nesting projects to keep me busy.

Today is the last day Mr. Thinkin' is traveling for work, so this wouldn't be the best day to deliver if I want him here, which I suppose I do. He feels like I have been wishing the baby here too early, but once you have delivered a healthy baby 37 weeks, that seems like enough. Doesn't it? Really, not to sound silly, but I think men should be able to be pregnant too. I told Mr. Thinkin' the other night that I hope he is reincarnated as an elephant that has to be pregnant for two years at a time. Not nice I know, but that gives you some insight to my hormones!

WM has been SUPER clingy for a couple of weeks, and I would say it's 50% sensing an impending change and 50% just his age. I have been praying for a smooth transition to "big brotherhood" for him and our family. He will be two in three weeks. I REALLY hope EM is here and settled before his birthday. I have done most of the party planning and have the invites are ready to go just in case they need to be mailed when I am at the hospital.

I need to schedule the prenatal massage the Mr. Thinkin' got me for Mother's Day. A little part of me would like to save it for after the birth. I do have a pedicure scheduled for Saturday morning. I am looking forward to that...everyone needs to have pretty pigs for their hospital stay. :)

So, waiting for baby, that about wraps it up.
