40 weeks

Still nada. I am pointing and laughing at the girl I was two weeks ago, who thought she’d have a newborn by this time.

Ha. Oh, ha ha ha.

It’s like 157 degrees outside and I am as big as a house and resigned to the fact that this child just doesn’t want to come out. He’s not even going to mess with me watching the season finale of HOUSE tonight. I thought for SURE that a child of mine would go all Murphy’s Law on me and have me like in transition or something right when Hugh Laurie is solving the case.

But no. He’s so stubborn that he’s going to let me see the show. I think it’s because he knows that I’d much rather have a baby than even watch House. Damn smart kid.

Anyway. My parents are in from out of town and seem to be doing pretty well. My dad let me drive the Prius, even. Just a couple yards, but still. Owen is LOVING having his Nana and Grandpa around to spoil him and I am enjoying a little spoiling myself.

Might as well enjoy something if I have to be this pregnant, eh? (I mean I could always enjoy the bitching I seem to do incessantly but then who would benefit?)

He also knows how many people are eagerly awaiting their first glimpse of him!

Phew! I didn’t miss it!
But, still, come out already little baby! We can’t wait to see you!

(Also, summer heat is the worst. I break out sweating just thinking about it being 80 degrees tomorrow.)

Have you tried eating spicy foods, going for walks and the sure fire way to get a baby to come out: SEX!

Oh, you poor sweetpea. On a positive note, this gives me the slightest chance of finishing the flipper gift project before he’s out of junior high, tops :~)

Hey you! I’d been wondering if I’d missed the big event. I suck for not getting a hold of you sooner. I’ll try to call you today on my way home from work to check in on things and catch up before you’re so busy you won’t know where your head is.

You done your baby, sweetpea? Here’s hoping for a tolerable last few hours/days of the pregnancy. And a seamless delivery.

come on little baby!

Kung pao chicken, walking, sex, even castor oil - nothing worked for me 4 years ago this date. Wah. But labor and delivery was sweet and easy when it finally came.

You’re going to have to wait til June 3. Every baby I know who’s been late this time of year was eventually born June 3. Weird, huh. Don’t get too desperate - watch LOTS of TV!

I’ve been saying this all day. Love it.

Man. Thanks, you guys. I totally suck at responding to comments these days, I know, but I really am glad you guys are still stopping by.

I’ll admit to leaving a few stones unturned as far as home cures go; I have zero faith that they’re going to do any good. Not even jumping jacks are inspiring him to move.
