No baby yet...

Well, it's 3 days before my due date and I'm still pregnant! I didn't think I'd make it this far since it's my 3rd baby and Leah was born by this point in my last pregnancy. I'm still barely hanging in there but I really wish I knew when this little guy was going to make his appearance. It's the not knowing that is killing me! Here I am in all my 9 mos preggo glory, I feel bigger and heavier than I look in this picture. My hands are actually holding up my belly in this one because it hurts to have all the weight pulling on my back.

Pretty much everything is ready. I moved the girls together into the same room and got them a new dresser to hold all their clothes for $20 on Craigslist, what a deal!

Leah loves her new toddler bed and not being in a crib but it is harder to get them to go to sleep at night and as soon as Leah wakes up in the morning, she's up and in my room so mornings are a little earlier around here now.
The nursery is all ready for the new baby

My hospital bag is packed and ready to go
.
And the rag blanket that I started last month is all sewn together and I'm just about done clipping all the seams.

I've done the grocery shopping and laundry for the week and cleaned the house from top to bottom again so I feel as ready as I'm ever going to get. I was 3 cm dilated at my last appt on Tuesday and I've been feeling lots of back pain and more uncomfortable Braxton Hicks contractions for a few weeks now. My OB won't induce me until a week after my due date so I still have a while to wait if he doesn't come on his own. And to top it all off, two of my friends who were pregnant and due after me have now had their babies. Would he just come already?!!!!

Holy Cow! If my house EVER looks that clean I'll be in heaven, #1! #2, I always tell you NOT to expect the baby to come early at ALL, it makes it so much harder to wait! And,#3, the blanket is ADORABLE!!! I LOVE it! :) Good luck, I can't believe I'll be gone and without reception or internet service when you have the baby! I'll be so excited to hear all about it next Saturday. :) Love you!!!

Ditto to the last comment. I hope for your sake that he comes soon too. I thought Eli was going to be early because Noah was 12 days early! But he decided to take his time. He was still one day early, but because I was expecting him to come earlier, it felt like he was late :). The rooms look great, and I love the blanket. Good luck with everything.

Everything really does look a little TOO perfect at your house. You'll want to look back at these pictures in about a month when it's a little crazier and remember just how good it was when you were so impatient....hee hee. Good luck! I'm so excited for you to have a little BOY!
