The Nursery
I also don't think I have put up any pictures of the nursery since we got stuff put in it. It is not finished and is kind of cluttered now because some of the stuff in there like the swing, bouncer and stroller will be other places in the house and we will probably move the glider in there in that corner. I don't have anything for the walls yet but one of these days he will have a name and pictures to put in all the cute frames we have gotten as gifts. Then I am sure that the 6 pictures of Darrin and I in the living room will be replaced with 10 pictures of him. Also, after he arrives, I have 2 more willow tree angels to add to my collection (New Dad and New Life). I just have them in the boxes in the closet right now. I have thought about getting them out but feel like if I do I might jynx myself or something, so I am waiting until I have him to put those out. Ok, that has nothing to do with the nursery... sorry.... Here it is.....
39 week pics
This is my official 39 wk, 3 days photo. I don't think I have been brave enough to show one with a bare belly and if I am going to do it, I better do it soon. I don't think the skin on my stomach is ever going to be this tight nor will it ever be this firm again probably!!!! haha If the sight of huge blue veins, white skin and some mysterious purpleish marks make you sick, please skip over that bare belly picture!!!

1 week to go???
So, I have finally made it what is supposed to be the last week of my pregnancy. At my Dr appt on Tuesday I still had not made any progress, but she said that it did not really mean anyting and that I could have everything happen all at once. We have decided that if I don't have the baby by next Friday (the 4th) then we will schedule to induce me probably toward the end of the next week (by the 11th)if I haven't had him already. I am starting to get really anxious about it and that is probably making the time go by slower for me. Last week went by pretty fast because Carol was coming on Thursday and that gave me something to look forward to, but now I don't have anything between now and when the baby comes. I think I just need to relax because ideally I shouldn't have the baby until like next Thursday because (this sounds crazy) but Darrin has a test on Monday and needs to work on some school stuff!
As far as my health goes, I am still doing well, but am just so exhausted from doing nearly nothing. I have really gone down hill this week and have been swelling alot more and have alot of pain in my stomach, groin, legs,and feet when I get up from sitting or laying down in bed.Plus my carpal tunnell is getting worse and my hands hurt all the time!! Yesterday I cleaned house for a few hours in the morning and then went on a quick trip to the grocery store in the afternoon and I was exhausted. I couldn't even finish my housework and all I had to do was vacuum the hard flores which would have taken like 10 minutes, but it was too much for me. So, I rested a bit and took a shower and got into my PJ's by like 5:00. But after resting for a little bit, I was better and was able to work on fixing dinner but went to bed to read by like 8:00. Darrin was kidding about how I might be in labor because I was having abdominal pains and he was asking if I was having contractions. I told him I hoped not because I was too tired to be in labor. It was then that I realized I need to try to not get so tired because I don't want to be worn out before I even get to the hospital. I just feel guilty for just sitting around not doing anything productive because I am home all day, but I may have to start or maybe split up my stuff a little bit. I am also starting to have some nausea again like I did in the first trimester. :(
Ok, enough complaining. It could be alot worse and I am lucky I don't have to go to work and don't have a toddler running around to chase like I will when I have our next baby!!! I'm going try to enjoy this last little bit of being pregnant and it just being Darrin and me!!
