Still pregnant....lol.

Yup, Mr. S and I have already tried a few of the natural labor induction methods. Yesterday I walked a mile, did the deed, etc. Nothing!
I know Lexi-Bean will come when she is good and ready, I just am that impatient. :-P
Last night I had a dream that she was born, and I was getting ready to breast-feed her. Then I woke up. Sigh.
She's already given me a few kicks and punches this morning, so I know she's up as well. :-)
Well, I suppose I better get used to Daylight Savings Time again!

Yay for weekends!

Ooo...I love weekends. Especially ones where I have a few activities planned, but also a good amount of free time to just relax.

This morning I went for a walk with Mr. S and the dogs, and filmed a bit of it with my new Flip Video camera. It's awesome! It's only the size of a regular digital camera, and makes the whole video-recording process super easy. Then once I'm done recording, I can just plug it into my laptop with the built-in USB memory card, and post the videos online or email them. Mr. S had me make a YouTube account for when Lexi-Bean is born so that we can post cute videos of her there for our friends and families to enjoy.

Later today, I'm going to hopefully get my car washed and get a pedicure with a friend. My toenails are in need of a pedicure, but I can't really reach down to do them myself. So I'm splurging and paying someone else to do them. Yay!

A random spurt of energy?

I'm actually not dead-tired tonight. Weird!

Tuesday, we went to our friends to watch some American Idol and socialize. My car ended up getting super muddy because of the dirt roads, so I think I might get my car washed this weekend if I'm up for it. Mr. S cleaned up our library and turned it into our new guest room, but now I have to deal with all of my crap that I had stored in there. It's in the kitchen right now. I'm hoping I can convince Mr. S to put most of it in the attic. :-)

Yesterday was my 37-week checkup. I tested Group-B Strep positive (crap) but that only means I have to wear an IV when I give birth to Lexi-Bean. Everything else was hunky dory.
After the appointment, Mr. S and I went to MacAllister's Deli for dinner. We had GIANT baked potatoes, and I polished mine off with a slice of really yummy carrot cake. Even after Mr. S scoffed at my cake, he totally ate some, which proves how yummy it actually was. I wanted to take a walk afterwards, but once we got home I was TIRED. I ended watching my guilty pleasure(16 & pregnant) while Mr. S watched AI and cheered for his favorite singer(who he likes to call "The Sox").

Nothing really exciting happened today. I believe my co-workers have this fear that I am going to go into labor at work (haha). I have been told more than once not to go into labor at work. Of course, I have no control over the matter, other than to take my maternity leave now. However, I don't want to take time away from Lexi-Bean when she comes, and what am I going to do at home anyway? Sit on the couch and wait for contractions? No thanks.

37 weeks!

So here I am, in my 37th week. Lexi-Bean is full term, and has got quite a strong kick! My right rib seems to be her personal favorite to kick. My belly has become a good place to store my cell phone, as it is now sitting on top of it. :-)

I have been feeling a lot of overwhelming emotions lately. One is impatience, because I am rather uncomfortable in my own skin and can't wait to cuddle with my little girl! Another one is worry, because I make myself mental checklists of things that should be done before the baby is born, whether or not they really need to be. I also worry that I won't be a good mom, but Mr. S assures me otherwise. I just need to relax.....
