39 weeks... and how much longer?

I am finally off work which is not as bad as I thought it would be.  I thought I would be bored and lonely, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  I definitely miss my colleagues, but they’re good at keeping me in the loop of their shenanigans.   I think I’m right smack in the middle of that nesting stage.  I am cleaning the house and organizing like crazy.  I get tired pretty quick and have to stop, and I also noticed I’m a super klutz so I end up breaking things... and then getting angry.  Haha.

I have enjoyed my pregnancy as much as possible, but I’m really ready to meet Baby Wardette.  Her movements totally feel like a humans movements now because she's so big.  Limbs are sticking out everywhere at times.  I can’t deal with all the aches and pains that make my body feel 90 years old.  Plus, I’m getting next to no sleep these past few nights now.  I’m glad to see my body can handle it, but still not fun.  TV at night totally stinks.  Other than that, there's no other signs of baby coming.  No belly drop, no bloody show, no contractions, nothing!  I think I'm going to wash my floor by hand tomorrow. :)

I wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to Grandma Gonyea.  Thank you for your amazing help this past weekend getting the nursery ready.  You should’ve seen her, she was on fire.   Lol.  But it gives me so much joy to see her so excited; I think Baby Wardette is going to be very lucky having her as a Grandma.  I will make sure she knows how much she’s done to help with her arrival and not to mention spoil her.  Thanks Mom for making my pregnancy fun and exciting!

I’ve finally loaded a picture of my belly, on the Side Profile Pictures page; it’s interesting to see how much it’s grown in 10 weeks.  I’ve also loaded pictures of the nursery, on the Building a Nursery page, to show the progress we’ve made.  I think we’re about 95% done.  Jesse just needs to figure out some electrical thing for the chandelier and put the crib together.   I need to finish putting away her millions of clothes (thanks Sherry!)  The room is quite big and her furniture is quite small.  But with mat leave on the brink I don’t think I can go out and buy anything... can I Jess?  Pretty please?  Just that one recliner?  You love it when you watch hockey later, I promise!

I think this will be one of my last posts if Baby Wardette decides to join us this next week.  I decided that I won’t create or continue this blog to capture her first year; Facebook is good for that stuff anyway.  I will definitely post about her arrival and add some pictures though.  I thought I’d give the blog thing a whirl.  I like it... but I think I’ll be too busy to continue and you are busy people too.  I appreciate all of you who have been reading my blog throughout the pregnancy.  Your time and interest is greatly appreciated.
