37..

May 04th, 2011

today I am 37 weeks.. and it freaks me out that this was the day Olive came..  I didn’t think it would.. but now its like.. where do we go from here? I already had a baby this time last child.. well.. actually.. I was just sitting at the Gunderson building waiting for my ultrasound appointment to see how big the baby was measuring :S  which is why I now leave the house with washed hair and cute clothes.. I will NOT be making that mistake twice..

I love that I woke up to sunshine.. I had one constant dream that I was in labor last night.. Dust was kind enough to offer to sleep on the couch.. and I actually took him up on it.. in hopes that I would sleep a solid couple of hours.. peaceful.. sprawled out like an awkward star fish.. but no such luck.. hip pain.. braxton hicks.. up for hours at a time.. and I finally fell asleep as the sun was coming out and got a couple solid hours in.. but every time I fell asleep.. I dreamt I was in labor.. and not the random “i dreamt I birthed my brother in law Davids head”  (yes.. that happened with Olive).. this one was what I went to bed in.. in my actual room.. in my actual house.. I couldn’t tell what was real.. alas.. I am here typing.. so I wasn’t.. 

weekly comparison.. (look how tiny her little head is :)

my first born is getting more interactive with her baby sister.. she makes me lift up my shirt all the time (which I am lovin in public ;) and gives her kisses.. and then goes

watch baby seester.. watch this.. 

and she will run around like a car or a little birdy wanting her sister to watch her in action.. sa-weet! my nesting is back .. and this time.. Olives bathroom was the suspect.. and the junk I got rid of was insane.. and a lot of it was from her birth experience.. why I was keeping a package of witch haze that expired in ‘09.. I will never know.. but I did come across these jewels.. literally.. 

sticker jewel earrings.. she looked so shy and proud putting them on.. and wore them as long as possible.. I bought these back in October.. and yet we are just using them now.. I need to get over my “space them out” feelings.. like stickers.. don’t waste them all at once! for no reason at all.. I am sure these were c.50 at walmart.. 

cheeeeese.. (this is the first picture I noticed that she has my chin)..

I have three shifts left at work.. and it is blowing my mind.. we are now in the month where when I look at my calendar.. I think that at any moment it can be shaken up with a baby coming out of my vagina :)  my parents go away this weekend.. gulp.. so I am hoping she can come between the 9th and the 11th.. I think I just heard my baby laugh inside me.. good luck trying to plan that one!!

ok.. time for some sun.. and to enjoy the last cup of coffee I stretched out of the can.. which tastes just like water..
