No I'm not in labor yet!

Here's my most recent pregnancy photo. I think we took it last week when I was 37.5 wks along. I guess I've entered that time when whenever I call someone, they ask "are you in labor?". My mom called yesterday morning and asked me that question and when I told her that I wasn't, she said "okay, I just had a dream and needed to check". Duh--I would have called you! My hospital rooms will have wireless internet, so I'll be able to email everyone and hopefully post some pictures. I have my next appt on Tuesday so we'll see what the doctor says about any progress.

David has been working really hard on making a toy box for baby Will. He finally finished it over the weekend and it looks great! Thanks to the Kohl's Black Friday sale, the toy box already has toys in it.

Boo to the ice!

I was quietly putting away laundry today when I happened to look out my bedroom window just in time to see a car crash into mine. We don't have an attached garage so both of us just park out front of our townhouse. I guess the roads are really slippery out and this car full of teenage guys was driving really fast and tried to stop, but slid into my car instead. My car doesn't have too much damage other than a busted brake light and a bumper dent. But this really couldn't have happened at a worse time! The backseat of David's car is broken so there's no way we could put a car seat in there if we needed to. I guess I'll have to spend my day tomorrow getting quotes and dealing with insurance people. Yuck!

Good news!

I had my doctor appointment today and baby Will isn't transverse anymore! He decided to cooperate and is head down which is where he needs to stay for the next 21 days....OMG 21 days!

Finished!

We have finally finished baby Will's room. I'm very happy with everything I chose. I hope he likes it! I'm full term (37 wks) on Thursday which means that if he was born anytime after that date, he'd be fine. So I guess we are on baby watch now!

Baby Will's coming home outfit. I love all of the little boy's clothes that have puppies on them!

What baby Will will be wearing on Jan 8 (assume that he's here by then!). Boomer Sooner #1!!

His crib and rocking chair. My dad referred to the wall hangings as 'pot holders', but I wouldn't use them near an oven!
The guest bed and quilt that matches the bedding.

The changing table.

A close-up of the quilt. I love it! The colors are very bright and it's really soft.

Instead of a Christmas card...

Someone sent me an Elf Yourself e-card last year and I loved it! This year they have new backdrops. Click on the link and turn up the volume.

From my family to yours!

Hospital tour

Last night we had our official hospital tour and registration. Visiting the mommy and baby floor and seeing the rooms made everything very very real! The L & D room is huge! They have all the necessary amenities: wireless internet, tub/shower, TV with dvd player, mini fridge, pull out couch for David. After the baby is born, I'll stay in there for a few hours and then we'll all move to the Mommy and Baby recovery room. It's smaller than the L & D room, but has all the same features (except that David will have to sleep on a pull out chair instead of a couch, but I don't feel too sorry for him!). My favorite feature in the M & B room is the huge room service menu--it's all about the food! Our hospital is a Baby Friendly hospital so they encourage breast feeding and rooming-in with the parents. So as soon as Baby Will is born, he's ours! I'm not sure how long we'll stay in the hospital--it all depends on how smoothly everything goes. Right now my biggest concern is what to do with Cody! He's fine staying in the car for a bit, but if it's snowing he might freeze. We have a kennel that says they can hold a spot for him, but who knows if that will pan out. I'm trying not to stress about it... Currently I'm working on packing my hospital bag. I feel like I have enough stuff to last me a week in the hospital! But I'm an overpacker so that should surprise no one :)

Today is our first big snow fall. I haven't been outside yet as it's 20F, but there's probably 1-2 inches on the ground. It took David an hour and a half to get to work today. Poor guy!

FYI....

I won't be sending out Christmas cards this year. Usually it's one of my favorite things to do at the holidays, but we have so much going on right now that something had to be taken off the list. So don't think I've forgotten about you. But we will be sending out cute birth announcements so you can be excited about that!
