ANXIOUS

I'm anxiously waiting for our sweet little man to arrive!!! Impatiently though:( We went to the doctor Wed and he said we are dilated to about a 2 or 3. But nothing since then. I've had maybe 5 contractions the past couple days. Ugh. Like I said on facebook.....nobody likes to get 30% of the way there & then be at a standstill. Oh dear.....the hormones are coming out over the internet!! Get this baby out of here soon!! His Momma is going crazy! (and yes, poor Matt is ever patiently waiting, rubbing my back, calming my anxiety, being a saint!)

BAREFOOT & PREGNANT

37 Weeks.......

Barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen on Mother's Day. 3 weeks (max) to go! Hurry up & get here (safely) Baby Dill. Everyone is ready to meet you!

RELIEF

Our awesome rocker/glider from Pottery Barn Kids FINALLY came in yesterday. We've had the ottoman for about a month, but no chair. It is huge and wonderful. I love it! Thanks to my parents (Gigi and Poppa) for buying it for us! Come rock the baby one day, you won't want to leave.

I have been busy trying to get the house/yard/nursery ready for the baby.....and sometimes it just doesn't happen. Why is it so hard for people to do their jobs? Even when it is so simple, it's a struggle. I got the septic guy BACK out yesterday & he fixed our sprinkler. Hooray! That only took like uhmmmm who knows how many months. Our builder has been a bit of a bear to deal with lately, so this has seemed like a never-ending challenge.

Tuesday we had a dr appt. Nothing to report. Nothing new. Baby still sideways. Heart rate was 138-140. Typical. Normal. Fine. Next week when we go back he'll start checking me to see if my cervix has changed or if we are dilated at all. Probably not. He'll feel for the position of a head down baby. If he doesn't feel a head, we will be on our way to having an ultrasound and most likely scheduling a c-section. Baby Dill is still moving around & giving me some pretty good kicks and stretches. This Momma is ready for him to be done cookin'!! Come out and play:)

Today I am going to try to rest and make a shopping list for this weekend of baby items to return and buy. Whew. Then this weekend we are hosting a brunch for our families/mother's for Mother's Day on Sunday. Should be fun. Hopefully we can get the nursery in some kind of order before then!
