39 Weeks and counting

This was actually take last week at 38 weeks....I wasn't in the mood for a 39 week pic so this will have to do.
So I'm nearing the end my friends. The last couple weeks (you know starting at 37 weeks) I was really hoping that maybe our baby girl would make her appearance but she didn't. My last 3 children were born at 41, 43, and 41 weeks so I'm not sure why I'm really expecting her to come any sooner....it would be really convenient if she did though.

My husband has been out of town on a business trip this week so I've stopped willing her to come for the meantime. I have a feeling it would really stink if I had to deliver her all alone...well without a birth support aside from the midwife. He gets home tonight after being in Washington D.C. for the last 4 days so I'm hoping we'll have her tomorrow. LOL. A girl can wish right?! Actually for some reason we picked the worst possible time in the history of my crazy life to have a baby. (Seems to be a pattern with us). Actually considering we aren't moving this time around it's probably not bad, I've survived worse. It just seems like crazy timing because school starts on my due date August 15th so this next week is going to be a pretty busy one. We have open house at the middle school on Monday, at the elementary on Tuesday, Brinton starts Middle School on Wednesday, the little girls start elementary on Wednesday too. Ashy starts on Thursday....and some time during all that madness I may be having a baby! Oh and I still need to get a couple back to school outfits for the kiddos so they don't show up on the first day in summer rags. I have this massive list of things I need to do before school starts and I don't know from day to day if I'm even going to be around or in labor. In some cases it would be best if baby just stayed put until after the first week craziness is over but that makes me over due and I'm sick and tired of always going over. I've had 6 kids already can't #7 just appease me and turn up early or "on time"?? Lol. I'm so lame seeing as I know it's all about when she feels like coming and a due date isn't an expiration date. I'm just ready to have her and get on with having a family of 9. You know??

Anyway I really had no intention on rambling today. Sorry.

So to celebrate 39 weeks I decided to go get my funky, cracked nail polished toes all prettied up for labor and delivery. I made sure she painted them the most obnoxious pink she could find in honor of baby girl.


Swollen Pink Piggies


When I came home Julianna was playing with the iphone and took 2 crappy pictures of me....she's too cute.

Holy Stomach....she got so close!


I kinda wish this wasn't blurry, but I love that she was playing with my camera phone at this exact moment.

I took this one....

So that's it for now. Sorry to bore you. Maybe the next blog post will be a baby announcement?

Just for your sake I'm willing baby girl to come tomorrow too! :) I can't wait to see what she looks like!

Best of luck with getting through this month! I'm sure it'll work out, but it is so hard to see that when it's even hard to see just your toes.

Also, I am in love of how wide your blog is! I have no idea how you did it (or if you had an amazing computer tech help you out) but I want to know the secret!
