wednesday mish mash

i haven't blogged in a few days... and i have no excuse! my life as a stay-at-home-lady affords me many hours a day to blog, but i do think this tiny babe in my belly is sucking the creativity from my brain! plus, it's been really hard adjusting to being the one staying at home... i'm not complaining, i know how blessed we are for me to be able to stay home, but for this type A personality, it's really weird...

as of tomorrow (thurs) i will officially be "full term" and 37 weeks preggo! it's so weird to think this journey is quickly coming to a close. i've technically been pregnant since the end of january, though i didn't get a positive test till right before valentine's day... but still, this little sproutlet of ours has been a part of me for almost this whole year. i'm so thankful for a relatively uneventful pregnancy thus far. there have been a few nervous moments, but nothing too awful. and i think we're about as ready as we can be, well as far as gathering all the sweet baby things we'll need. we have been overwhelmed by the generosity that has been shown to us. this sweet angel of ours will for sure be told of how everyone loved her so much before she was even born!

ok, so no one told me we needed to find a pediatrician before rosie even arrives??? we were pre-registering for the hospital and they asked for that info? what??? i'm supposed to be rubbing my belly with cocoa butter, doing my kegels, fretting over breastfeeding AND worry about finding a baby doc??? well i sucked it up and found one i think we'll be happy with. i don't know? what are you supposed to care about? i read the books and asked the questions i guess you're supposed to ask.

ugh, and here comes another contraction - blar! i know these are what they affectionately call "practice contractions" but good grief, they HURT!

alright, enough baby talk. let's see... i made more cookies today. i can't help it. it's what i do. SO today i made sugar thumbprint cookies with a marion-berry jam center and a chocolate drizzle on top. they're pretty much amazing and yes, i've already had four. i'm sort of to the point, being only three weeks left in this pregnancy, that i'd like to eat what i want. i can't put on underpants without falling over and hurting myself, getting off the couch takes some serious concentration - so if i want to enjoy eating four cookies, i will! don't worry too much little cankles, i've got the P90x on stand by when i get the all clear to commence working out. but till then, i will eat cookies!

and finally, i want one of these pups. i know, i know, we've got a babes on the way, but i could handle a new pup too, right??? wook at that wittle face!!!
