Eviction Notice

This is a warning to my son that tomorrow morning, we will start the process to evict him from his nice quiet home. He has not wanted to come out on his own, but that doesn't mean he gets to stay. Oh no- it's time to get out, baby. We are so totally excited though and have been buzzing around all week. We have been up very late every night this week and when we do finally make ourselves go to bed, we can't sleep because we are just so wound up. I can't even imagine what tonight will be like! It's so cool to know that by this time tomorrow, we will have met our son. I just can't wait!!!!

I decided I looked okay today so I took one more picture of myself to share. Here I am at exactly 39 weeks.



I keep having Braxton-Hicks contractions, even pretty strong ones that fake me out and think maybe they are the real ones. But once I time them, I realize how irregular they are and that they can't possibly be the true contractions. And they aren't. This last week working was pretty miserable. I have a hard time getting around these days and having to get ready and work all day was just kind of tough. I gave up finally yesterday and that was my last day. I was planning to also work today but then I thought, "What am I thinking? I am about to have a baby and I have 4 houseguests showing up in the next few days. I need to be at home doing a few things to get ready for all of that!" I was also hoping I might get to relax a little today but not so much. The house looks great though and we are ready for our helpers to arrive!

I have one more truly horrifying thing to share and I would recommend if you have a weak stomach to stop reading now. Well, it's not that bad but I present to you... My Feet.



Aren't they terrible? I know it's been a while since most of you have seen me but I think you probably remember that I have fairly thin legs and ankles. Not anymore. They look especially bad right now (and I just took that photo) too because I have been on my feet for most of the day doing housework. Ugh- I am so looking forward to having regular Shelby-size features again.

We have a few things to pick up at Target tonight and are going to go out to dinner one more time by ourselves. Wow, so I guess the next time I blog I'll be putting up pictures of our son. I can't wait to share them! If you happen to think of it, think good thoughts and pray for a quick labor for us tomorrow!!
