Happy Due Date to me!

Baby June has made it to her due date!

The hubby is still hopeful that she wants to come on her due date, because that would mean she's like him....on time for everything! I'm not so sure sitting here this morning. :( I never would have thought I'd make it this far in my pregnancy, with the way my Dr. was talking at my 37 week appointment. But here I am, at home looking down at my big O' belly trying to get comfortable while she squirms inside of me. Her newest thing to do is to force her butt up as high as possible into my ribs. It's pretty painful and she almost never lets up these days.

Every morning I hope to feel painful contractions or a huge wet spot in my bed when I wake up. But...nothing. Sounds like my cervix hasn't changed since last week. People are calling and texting us both like crazy!!!! Everyone is getting excited and I wish I could produce a baby for them...but she doesn't want to come out yet, I guess.... and I'm not going to make her come if she's not ready!! (YET!!!)

I know inductions are very common and it seems like a large majority of women want and get them as soon as possible, but I'm really hoping for nature to take it's course! I'm not too happy with my current situation, I want to meet my daughter and I know my husband is super anxious to hold her, but I can't help but think that my body knows best. It's been hard...every day you stop and take a few minutes to thing about what we would do if she decided to come today (and of course how happy we would be!!). We've been trying to plan around her for weeks now, it's very exhausting to have the house clean and baby ready at all times!! We've been try to have the laundry and dishes done as well as the carpets vacuumed...etc.

Hopefully she comes before the weekend is over!!! If she doesn't...I'll probably be calling the Dr's office to schedule an induction on Monday morning! I hate to evict her but I'm getting nervous about her size and being able to push her out!! My mom and sister both went natural with all their kids but on the other side....both of my sister in laws had to have c-sections!! Please no c-section for me!!!! Please!! Ahhhh....let it go Ameron...let it go!! It's out of your control! ;)

BFP! Incase you didn't know ;)

We go Friday for our 1st appointment and then, hoping and praying that everything is well...we are telling everyone! :)


Here's the proof:
Current EDD: Sept 22, 2010! :)

Double posting it :)

I guess I'm tring to make up for lost time ;)

I've been trying to update my google websites with new bathroom pictures but it's not working out to well since they are moving everything over to google sites.... I love google pages (or is it the opposite?) Either way...I haven't been able to update my bio so here's an update on the bathroom.

Touch up some paint spots
put up closet door
put up trim
repaint countertops
shorten tub spout

Chalk everything

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!! Or whatever you celebrate!!! :) I know I haven't been a very good blogger lately but here's one to keep you busy until I get my new computer Dh's getting me for my birthday!! :)



Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree....



I love christmas soo much that I have two sets of Christmas tree ornaments :)



I have the set you see here: red and gold & a teal and silver set! I have only had the "blue" set since last year but I plan to alternate each year!! I love having 2 sets!! :)

Do you wrap presents and put them under the tree a.s.a.p or do you wait until just before Christmas?

As you can see...I wrap mine whenever! I'm sure that will change when we have our family one day, but for now...it's easier! Besides, I don't have to worry about Josh finding his presents! Althought...I forget what I got him....OOps!! :)

Here's last year tree: ( I took prettier pictures this year )

The 80yr old Grandma

Some chain emails are too funny to pass up:

This grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.

She writes:

The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker ..

I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a
thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting..

So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.

Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.

I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the
light had changed.

It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't
honked, I'd never have noticed.

I found that lots of people love Jesus!

While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy,
and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of
God!'

'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'

What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!

Everyone started honking!

I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those
loving people.

I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!

There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him
yelling something about a sunny beach.

I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger
stuck up in the air.

I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.

He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.

Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window
and gave him the good luck sign right back.

My grandson burst out laughing.

Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!

A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.

I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is
when I noticed the light had changed.

So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on
through the intersection..

I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection
before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave
them after all the love we had shared.

So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the
Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord
for such wonderful folks!!

Will write again soon,

Love, Grandma

Update on the Bathroom

Here's what we've been up to:

Down to the studs! We had to replace some of the studs due to damage or just sheer weirdness. Don't ask! You never know why people did what they did. I'm sure one day when *someone* ie. not us, redoes this bathroom again, they will find *SOMETHING* we did and say why the heck did they do this....Well, you just never know! We all have our reasons! ;)

Here is a more recent picture with the new drywall and greenboard up.

Yes, that is our shampoo and soap. We've been forced to take baths instead of showers for 2 weeks now. This will continue until I finish putting the tiles on the walls. Here is the back wall of the tub finished (minus grout).

So, what do you think?? So far...?

Next weekend! New Bathroom!!! :)

Finally...next weekend we are have some friends come up and help us tear out the old bath tub and put in the new one!! We're going to lay down tile and possibly a new toilet, too! I can not wait! I've already purchased some of the bath tub's new acesssorites:

What do you think???
