happy valentine's day!

Well it's now been officially one week since I've been off from work, and I have to say it feels kind of weird! As much as I am enjoying my time off, there is a part of me that feels like I should be at work!

I'll be out running errands, and I'll suddenly think: I need to check voice mail! I need to stop by the office! or: I forgot to log my hours! ha. I am even reading -- and (gasp!) responding to -- work emails! What is wrong with me?!?!

I suppose I'll get over that eventually, once this bebe finally arrives....

I knew that she/he would probably be late, but now that it actually is, it's kind of leaving me in this limbo state!

So I guess we won't be having a Valentine's baby (unless it happens tonight!), but each day that passes is one day closer! I am still feeling fairly comfortable luckily. So we'll see! Fingers crossed for a healthy delivery!!!!!!!

In other news, how excited am I about this??
:)



Btw, if it takes forever to load, don't blame me, blame stupid yahoo!

The waiting game

Yesterday our due date came & went. I guess that's what people are talking about when they say don't get too hung up on your due date! So we spent the last three weeks stressing that the baby might actually come *early*, when all along the little stinker was already planning on being *late*!

I can't say I'm surprised, knowing my track record and all....

In the meantime, I honestly feel fine except for the whole getting huge part. I actually bump into corners and doorways because I forget that I've got another passenger up front! Ha! OK that sounded weird but you get the idea!

So don't worry, I am keeping myself busy by talking on the phone, taking walks to the park, watching lots of "Baby Story" and "Oprah" (of course!), and playing with the cats. Oh, and online scrabble & Battlestar Galactica episodes on DVD have been occupying a good portion of our time lately too :)

So keep sending positive baby vibes our way and maybe soon this little bundle will make an appearance! It's kind of weird not knowing when it's gonna happen! The doctors were talking about inducing but let's hope it happens naturally in the meantime!

~Cheers!~

Baby room progress

You say goodbye, and I say hello

So, I hope everyone realizes this is soon going to become a baby blog... It's no doubt going to send some of my (thousands of!) readers elsewhere for stories of cat shenanigans, George Michael, and "Party of Five," but it's time I face the inevitable....

Tomorrow will mark *one week* till the baby's due date... Am I/are we ready?? Um, still not sure!

(BTW I can't say the words "one week" w/o getting that Barenaked Ladies song stuck in my head....)

Yesterday was my last "official" day in the office and I spent most of it saying goodbye to people. I have to say it was a really weird feeling.

I've worked for the same company for the past (gulp!) ten years and it's been the one constant in my life ever since I moved to Boulder.

I couldn't help feeling like I was going off to war or something. Like I will never see these people again. Mainly because I don't know what lies ahead. It's not like I'm not coming back, or won't see my friends while I'm out (!!!), but it's just the idea of delving into the complete unknown..........

And I am taking all this extra time off to spend time with... a baby???

It should be entertaining at least, right?

In the meantime, as the baby grows, the belly kicks are getting funnier and more topsy turvy by the day. I almost laughed out loud during a company meeting the other day when I got jabbed in the ribs!

One of my friends wrote a post about that baby-in-the-belly feeling, after the fact, and I wonder if I'll feel like this after the baby is born?
