Missing something

A BABY!!!!
Because we are as ready as we can be! Ok, there are a few things I still want to get done in the room, but really, we are practically finished! I can't beleive we only have 4 weeks or so left. I went to the doctor on Friday last week and we discussed induction! He mentioned the 26th, but I'm still selfish and do NOT want to share my birthday possibly (the 27th) so I nixed that! Even though I measured about a week ahead, I'm confident that I will hold out until the very end of August and hopefully the first of September! So, we decided to wait and see how my body is progressing and after he checks me in the next few weeks we will come up with a date of JUST IN CASE! It is looking to be September 1st. MY doctor is on call that day so it would be wonderful, but I am not worried about having this baby during the week, its the weekends I am a little concerned about. Considering that my office is teaming up with the other practice in the hospital and they are sharing on call weekends. So, instead of the three doctors in my practice taking every third weekend, they will have every seventh. Sounds great in theory except I am picky and don't want the other doctors...I want my 3! So there is some aprehension in that, but maybe the baby will just come on its own M-F!!! I can only hope! I do want to have a natural labor if possible, because I've been through induction and its not my fave, but I'll do whatever to ensure I get a good doctor and be home before LH starts school!!! Priorities!
Also, Mom is planning on coming up on the 29th, so I really can't have this baby before that. I also would like the extra few days at work...I already have my FMLA planned and such. This baby better realize that I make plans and it needs to learn to follow them! =) Hubby is reading this right now and just shaking his head! He's certain I'll be in labor on my birthday! I might shoot him if that happens because it would be ALL his fault!

Added some wall hooks, tie backs on the curtain and Hubby painted the changing table
The bookshelves I put together over the weekend (that was a funny site), baskets from TJ Maxx and the board books from LH...he was less than thrilled I was taking them though!

The only "set" of drawers we have but they will suffice. We have lots of storage space with the closets and baskets. I hung the signs I have had for years in here..I thought appropriate. They are "Believe", "Hugs", "Kisses", "Enjoy", and "Inspire". Glad I found a new home for them!

Very proud of my shelves!
Hubby did great....painted this old chest black, got some new hardware and baskets add some "storage"! Thank goodness for the drawer - it has the diaper necessities! We couldn't find a shelf deep enough for the space above it! Oh well, this works perfect!

Great Job Hubby!

Happy Birthday Pups!

The babies have had some birthdays!!!! Zeus turned 6 last month and Baby Girl Zoey turned 10 today!!! I can't believe its been 10 years since she came into my life. I love her to pieces. They had plenty of fun celebrating with some ice cream cones!!! They deserve the best!

Imabe a member of the Black Eyed Peas....

In honor of my 500th post, I thought you could be entertained by LH and his friend singing along to the Black Eyed Peas's Immabe! He loves this song...hope you can see it well - it was kind of dark in the car

Sleepover...well almost!

Little Hauss has been wanting a friend to sleepover or to sleepover at a friend's house, but we weren't sure if it was too early for that or not. Well, we figured why not at at least see how it goes so we invited one of his little buddies over last night. He was super excited and we had a fun night planned. His buddy's mom said she wasn't sure he would stay, but what could it hurt to try. He did end up having to go home around 11:30, but wasn't upset, just not ready to sleep over! Up until then, the boys had a great time playing!

Yum!

Catching ligtening bugs!!!
Watching a movie!
We might try for LH to go to his house next time....he can usually sleep anywhere, so it might work out better!

Two Wheels!!!

He's getting so big!!! He got the "big boy" bike, but within hours of that, he wanted to try his smaller bike without training wheels!!! He's a natural!!!! In no time, he'll have the big boy bike on two wheels I'm sure! Showing off!

35 Weeks

Besides resembling a giant lime or avacado, I feel pretty good! This shirt does't show much "definition" - I couldn't believe my ladies look small!! I think the shirt might need to be put up since it won't stretch much more than this and I'm just going to keep growing!!! 5 short weeks left!!! Maybe sooner!

Cankles

WOW! I officially have cankles - you know...when your calf migrates to your ankle. They got really bad yesterday - I'm sure from sitting at my desk for hours on end and then going out to dinner last night. I finally got home around 9:30 and propped them up with frozen peas....Helped some, but they are still a little puffy today! I get off work around 11:30 and will be able to rest and ice them some more hopefully! I am really surprised that I've lasted this long in this pregnancy without them. I was swollen ALL over from about 4 or 5 months on with LH - you think I'm kidding but it was so bad, my lips were puffy!
This was the worst one....see the indention of my flip flps!
