More Freebies...


Went to my pre-natal group tonight and once again...

Voila!!! A free car seat!!!!!!!

They have gone above & beyond! I also received a Wal-Mart gift card for gas and at the end of our journey, they're going to give us $100 for gas!!!!!...As long as I go in 1 more time after I have the baby...DUH!!!!...I'll be there.

She said that I am ready to go anytime. They have given epiderals at the point I'm at...just waiting on contractions. Maybe it'll be tonight...

UGH!

It is 2:00 in the morning and I CANNOT SLEEP!!!!! How incredibly annoying is that?!?!?! I've already finished the book I was reading and managed to scare the bejeebies out of Wesley! (I had closed the bedroom door so the light wouldn't bother him. When I went in, he shot up and kept looking out the window. Pretty sure he thought someone was coming in...)

Sigh...what to do now...

Packed and Ready to Go


My duffle bag and diaper bag are packed and ready to go! However, I've probably jinxed myself and she will be late...SIGH! (I thought for sure she might have come last Saturday on the full moon). Last night, Wes and I took a long, brisk (for the most part :) ) walk, including going up and down the stairs of the city's new parking garage. Then I came home and ate some pineapple...read that's supposed to help. Only thing it did was give me a stomach ache! I actually don't feel too bad, but I'm soooooo big that it's getting very uncomfortable to sleep at night...and the nightmares I keep having are not helping matters.

In the words of my dear, darling husband who's not packing around this extra weight..."She'll get here when she's ready."

The excited Mommy and Daddy to be...I love our old people at church...they always have a way of just tellin' you the honest truth! :) I was in no way offended by the comment, just thought it humorous! A lady told me that she thought the top I had on was pretty. Then she promptly told me that it wasn't going to last much longer...She has also used the term "waddling." HA! I quickly responded that I had better not last much longer, much less my shirt!

Patio

BEFORE

DURING
AFTER
The patio is as done as it's going to get this year (unless I change my mind, which I do quite frequently). Mom came over and so we put her to work with a shovel trying to scrape off some of the weeds. The after picture is kinda dark, but it looks sooooo much better out there. We just planted some bushes for now and mulched around it. Along the house, we pulled weeds and planted lilies (they were on clearance and will be pretty next year) and mulched. (Not sure what happened to the picture on the camera).
