Today is the official due date

ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND nothing... hopefully a miracle will happen and as soon as I am done writing this I will go into labor. Brett will have to come home from work and off to deliver the goods. Weird I thought for sure we would at least be in the hospital right now snuggling our baby by now. It truly feels like its never going to happen. After false labor for 2 days. Today zilch. I even did the castor oil.. I wasnt afraid.. And you know what it really wasnt that bad.. All the comments I read online I thought for sure I was doomed. But seriously they have a brand at walmart that is odorless and tasteless. If was like drinking a 1/4 cup of oil mixed with coke that wouldn't mix together.. I thought for sure it was going to be the key to my labor really starting. Nope. But hey I am cleaned out. So that is a positive right.. Since Im not miserable at the end of my pregnancy as in body terms. (I could've done without the stretch marks I was blessed with a couple weeks ago.) Does that mean I have to wait til Im miserable for this little guy to come. I mean I laughed at my cankles. I don't have them this week since I haven't been working. But really I dont have anything to complain about.. All the yuckiness back from the begining of the pregnancy I've almost forgotten about.... The sweat dripping down my face from blow drying hair is long gone. So why am I anxious to get this baby out.. Because I am selfish. I want to see him. See what he looks like. Will he have hair or no hair. If he has hair what color will it be. Will he have round cheeks or narrow cheeks. I want to kiss him and smell him. Because lets be honest what smells better then baby smell. I want to snuggle him. Comfort his cries. Feed him. Stare in amazement at him. I just want him.. It doesn't help that Brett is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for all this too. I know I know he'll come when he's ready.. But can't he be ready now???????????
I'm writting this only for myself.. To remember mostly the anticipation of how I much I want this little one...

no baby yet

just letting everyone know he's not here yet... hopefully this weekend.. Good news my first official day not working and
my cankles were not as swollen. My poor Mom has been super concerned about these beautiful cankles that arrived last week. But I guess pretty much laying around alllllll day has helped keep them not so beautiful and swollen. I tried wearing my ugg boots all week to sweat them off. Maybe that is what finally worked. At least I feel good. I don't know if that's a good sign or not. but truly I don't feel miserable. We're just so excited to meet him.

Happy Halloween

HAppy Halloween.......

I loooooove both of these pics. Brett is the lone ranger.. And I'm a bunny. I cant wait for this little nugget and all his halloween costumes. Since Brett and I both love Halloween he'll probably have one for each day of the month........ Ps if you look close enough you can see bretts mustache under is mask.. My favorite

Pampered

So I have 6 weeks left. Hopefully.. But it still seems like forever away. Yesterday Brett and I went down to my parents for conference. And I don't how it happened but somehow I magically convinced 3 of my nieces to brush my hair. I looooooooooooove my hair brushed. (by someone else of course). I tell people that for punishment I am going to make my kids brush my hair... And if they don't do it nice then they have to brush it that much longer. So after they brushed my hair. Lily wanted to paint my toes. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. She must've seen the sad state my unpainted toes were in.. I can still reach them I'm just super lazy. Well Stella wanted to help as well so they each painted a foot. Who wouldn't love a 7 yr old and a 4yr old painting your toes. It was heaven. And to be honest. I am actually really impressed with the outcome of Lily Kates talents. So I will leave them as they are for a couple more weeks until I pay and get a pedicure. But until then they will be my pride and joy.
