Waiting...

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
I'm stand-ing here, outside your door..."

And that, my friends, about sums up our life right now...

-Lyric from "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by Peter, Paul and Mary

One thing they don't tell you...

About being 38 weeks pregnant is that it's dang near impossible to tie your own shoes. I've actually walked the dogs in my slippers the last few days because it's easier. Rob helps me with my socks and shoes when he's home but most days I'm on my own. And it totally sucks!

Do the Math...

They say you only need an extra 300 calories a day during pregnancy. But you're also supposed to gain one pound a week the last 20 weeks.

One pound=3500 calories

3500 calories divided by 7 (days in the week) = 500

So you REALLY need an extra 500 calories a day.

Good. Now I don't feel so bad about all the mint chocolate oreos I've been eating lately...

Jackie Chan's Baby...

I SWEAR I'm carrying Jackie Chan's baby. This kid is constantly on the move!

They were right...

I didn't think prego brain really existed. I thought it was just an excuse pregnant people used to cover up their forgetfulness. But now I know it's real. I left my beloved camera at a friends for almost a week. I left my cell phone at my parents on Christmas (still haven't gotten it back yet, sorry if you're trying to get a hold of me). And I keep forgetting where I parked my car. At the grocery store. And everywhere else... So... I think they were right. Hello Progesterone!
