Full Term

Now that I'm 37 1/2 weeks, I'm officially full term!  It has gone by quick, however I sure felt full-term this morning as I ran after (more like waddled after) a hysterically laughing Charlie through 3 aisles at Target this morning.  

At my last doctor's appointment I was dilated to a 2...almost there :)

My top 3 favorite foods lately have been
1. cold cereal--frosted mini wheats/cinnamon life
2. McDonald's apple and cherry pies. 
3. raw oats.  I guess I've turned part horse because I can scarf down handfuls of oats at a time.  I usually mix them in yogurt because I feel funny eating them with a spoon.
 
My mom is coming out in a couple weeks (hopefully with my dad) and then Tony's mom will be out after that.  We're so thrilled they'll be here.  I loved having both moms out after Charlie was born.  I don't know how I would have survived without them!  They were such a huge help. 

The day before Charlie was born my mom and I were out shopping.  She bought me a new pair of pajamas to wear in the hospital, saying it would be nice having something soft and new to wear in the hospital.  Like all mom advice, she was right and I loved having something pretty and new to wear. I decided this is a tradition for every baby and bought myself a new pair last week (and was even dorky and took a picture of them.  Of course you want to know what my pajamas look like :)

Now that I have my pajamas we're all set :)  kidding, kidding...


I feel like Arkansas is our own little married world since we've lived here pretty much ever since we got married (except for one semester). It's exciting to have family come out to what we know as home.   Hopefully the humidity doesn't kill our visitors!

I have curtains to hang, wooden letters to paint, clothes to organize, some odd jobs around the house to finish and then we start the waiting game.
2 1/2 more weeks to go!

That's so great that your mothers are coming out! In a way, it's kind of nice to be living far away because you get their undivided attention while they're there :). Good luck girlie! You're in my thoughts! Can't wait to see Joey! And you look amazing!
