thirty-eight
Only a week and a half to go until the DUE DATE. Maybe we'll make it there? Maybe we'll make it past there?
I'm not sure my extra walking is doing anything. Or the pineapple I ate on Sunday morning.
Or the spicy chicken sandwich I had from Chick-Fil-A yesterday.

Darn it.
I want the baby to come out on his/her terms, but goodness I am impatient!
This is nothing new of course, but situations like these just bring out the best in me. :)

Everyone said these last few weeks are the hardest. I just always thought they were talking about how I would be feeling. Physically.
And I feel really good. I can't complain.

But now I'm realizing they must have been referring to the waiting game. It is draining! The anticipation. So tough. I would just really love for this baby to come before Sunday. It's Mother's Day! How unfair would it be for the baby to wait it out, and I don't get a Mother's Day until next year. Andrew gets a Father's Day in June regardless. And my grandma's birthday was May 12th.
Come on, Pat. At least think about it.

You want an update on the nesting list?
It's a constant battle between trying to use every waking hour to get things crossed off the list
vs.trying to spend time with Andrew, Franklin and friends and RELAX.

Meh.
The list can wait.
What else will the grandma's do when they come visit?
