Long ending

So I am going to vent for a second.
I am now at the end of pregnancy. I am almost 38 weeks. I had a doctor's appt on Wednesday afternoon and she informed me my baby should be here in a couple of days. Then yesterday I started having steady contractions, but nothing progressed passed 5-10 min intervals. Waiting is HARD. I want to get started on this whole active labor thing, but I guess I should be grateful for a couple days of rest and relaxation before the baby comes. I just expect him here any moment and he's taking his sweet time.
It is also extremely HOT.  91 degrees today, and I'm sweating in my 70 degree house. This baby is WARM. I know I should get out and do stuff, but I'm being a bum and sitting inside feeling sorry for myself that my labor isn't progressing.
It is mentally challenging, and I know I should be grateful, I'm fully effaced at 38 weeks, so I'll probably have him soon and get to skip the last couple weeks of being pregnant, its the not knowing that's magical and dreadful all at once. I'm ANXIOUS. So that's where I am.
Hope you all are enjoying your summer Friday.
I need to get out of this funk.

Today

Waiting for a baby to come, not mine.

Needing to CLEAN

Wanting to READ

Started watching Downton Abbey.

Feeling my little guy kicking all the time now. Not sure when he even sleeps.

Wanting to go straight back to bed.

Feeling ill prepared for everything baby related.

Words with Friends is still my favorite game.

Invisible Children

KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.

Please take a half hour and watch this video. Then share it! I have been involved with Invisible Children in small ways over the last 5 years and this is an amazing opportunity to see real change come about for people that have no way of protecting themselves. Children are dying mercilessly and being used in disgusting ways and it HAS TO STOP. Please be a part of this life changing difference. Yes, it's 1000s of miles away from me as I sit here in my comfortable home, but let's not just let this leave us unaffected. Let's tell the world.

21 weeks

We've made it over half way. It's pretty unreal. I've been sick pretty much every morning and most nights, but I got some nausea meds that are helping quite a bit. Today has actually been the first day I haven't had to take them and I'm feeling decent so far! My belly has really popped out in the last couple weeks. Its so amazing to watch it grow knowing there is a baby BOY in there. Yup, we found out in our ultrasound last week that we're having a boy. I'm excited to have a little man around!

In other news I'm super anxious for warm weather and SUN. So to speed that up a little, Rach and I are headed to California next week on a girl's trip. I'm so excited to see the ocean and spend time with my best bud. Should be wonderful. Hopefully I'll snap a few photos along the way. Happy Sunday Afternoon.

Not so new

I kind of like to avoid the fact that its a new year, because then I won't have to feel the guilt of not making any goals or plans. This new year didn't really feel like anything new to me and we didn't do anything special to celebrate so it just slipped by. I think I'll mark my new year by when I have my baby. Man, that sounds so weird to say. I've started getting a belly and mostly it just looks like I ate too many burritos. Hopefully it takes more of a 'baby' form soon enough.

I hope Caleb and I can have a few get away's before you-know-who arrives. We already have one little one planned! We're going down to Zion's National park and staying at a lodge there for a 3 day weekend. I'm kind of beside myself in excitement to have a weekend away from life and to enjoy the outdoors, snow storm or not.

After having a 3 month break from music, Caleb and I are doing an all worship night at church this Friday. I think it will be very refreshing to be playing again, atleast for 6 months then we'll reevaluate again.

Also, my dogs can howl, its really endearing and hard to capture on film

News

Wow, well, I'm pregnant!! 11 weeks along. I'm getting very interested in this new journey. I can't believe in 7ish months I'm gonna have a baby in my hands. I'm just trying to get use to the fact that a little someone is growing inside of my right now. It truly is a miracle that I've never been more aware of.

Cheers to a new year of new baby adventures for me!
