Last night I had on a off contractions, as well as this morning, but nothing sticking around. I may try walking today, but I am exhausted and extremely uncomfortable. I told Ryan this morning that maybe she wasn't going to come until Mommy and Daddy agreed on a name for her. He didn't seem to agree, but I am now certain this is the problem. I feel like I have tried everything else... Haha, as uncomfortable as it is though, I am in good spirits, happy and excited. Just anxious and ready to be done... Maybe on day 11 we will have some good news :)

13 Days To Go...
I have walked every morning and evening for three days. I have scoped out every street in my neighborhood so if you are looking for a house or car for sale I think I can help you out. I have cooked the most ridiculous spicy food and still no baby... But, I have not given up yet... I can feel the sporatic contractions getting stronger... Hopefully this means something will happen someday soon :)

14 Days To Go...
Dear Baby Girl Whom we have not agreed on a Name,
I am 38 weeks exactly today and I can hardly believe that you will be here soon. I can't tell you how amazing and hard this last couple of months have been, but I know everything was all worth it. There are so many things that I love about you already. I feel like I already know you. I love your 4-5 hiccup sessions each night. Although it feels like you are having convulsions it helps me to know you are still around. :) I love the feeling of your hands or feet gliding across my belly, almost as though you are reaching to me, or trying to kick me... Either way I am happy because I know it is you in there moving around. I love your baby room and can't wait to show it to you. I hope you like it. I think I probably go in there 10 times a day just to look at it, clean it for the millionth time because I am so excited. I love making you beanies and have so many outfits with matching beanies for you. Don't worry, when you make an entrance into this world you will have the best looking outfit there :) I love that when I talk about your arrival with your Daddy he becomes a new Ryan that I haven't seen before... I can't wait to see him with you... So soft, sweet and mellow and so excited and proud to be your Daddy. I know he is just as excited as I am and even though he doesn't get to feel you all day long, I can promise you that he knows you and loves you just the same.
As excited and happy as I am, I am so tired. I just can't lie. I know that I am going to miss being pregnant and having you in my tummy, but Baby Girl I need my body back and I need you to take over your own :) Mommy wants to be able to bend over and tie her shoes, not wake up with swollen ankles, and possibly make it through one day without heartburn. I know I will be up at night making sure you are happy, but I would rather do that because it will be doing something that I will love to do, instead of the potty breaks every hour that I am enjoying right now :) I want to be able to go running in our new jogging stroller, instead of feeling like a cow... I just can't wait any longer. I know it feels warm and safe in there, but I promise you I have a safe place for you here and that I will do my best to give you everything you need to make you happy, smart, and a beautiful young women that I know you can be. So... Please let Mommy leave this emotional roller coaster and waiting game and just come... Come home... I don't know if I can wait patiently anymore...
I Love You,
Your Mommy

The Baby Room
I have been so excited about having a baby room. I have finally completed it. It is ready for the baby to come home. I have more things that I would like to add, but the clothes are washed and hung, the dresser is painted, the crib is ready and even the guest bed is ready. I have tried really hard to make this affordable and not spend too much. I repainted Ryan's old baby dresser, which resulted in us getting a new one. (I am so glad because we needed it desperately and the one I painted is adorable!) The curtains that are brown my Mother gave me. I had a down comforter from College that I reused with a new duvet cover. And... Instead of using the ugly worn closet doors, my Mother-in-law Kim came up with the idea of using curtains. It brightens up the room and is adorable! I have had a lot of help from my Parents with painting and purchasing the crib, Ryan's Mom and Melinda with painting the dresser, Melinda with taking pictures of my BIG belly and helping me get them in the frames and everyone pitching in here and there. And of course, my husband with hanging things, putting the crib together and more. I am so lucky and so grateful to everyone's help. Thank you all! I am excited to share this with you. I hope you enjoy! Now we just need to get the baby out of me and in there!!! :)

A while back I had posted an entry about my Best Friend Heather. We happened to be pregnant at the same time. She had her baby finally, after being ten days over due! (Poor Girl!) and I thought I would let everyone know that she had a BOY. He is so cute. They named him Marshall Lewis Noles. I am so excited for her and so excited to be able to have children together that will be the same age. She is a great Mother and a wonderful example to me. I have learned so much from her and she is always willing to answer my questions and help me out. I love you Heather! Congratulations to the new addition to your family!

Pregnancy...
I thought I would update everyone on the pregnancy. I am 38 weeks this week and still pregnant, ha ha. I am feeling more and more tired, HUGE, and ready to have this baby. I am SO excited as we get closer to be able to meet her, see what she looks like and hold her for the first time. This last couple of weeks have seemed SO long and I wish it would go by faster. The baby room is almost finished. I have a few more touches to make and then I will post pictures. As for me... I finally took some pictures of my bare belly for all to see. These will be the last pictures of me pregnant and for some reason, as eager as I am to get her out of me, I am kind of sad. I am so glad I took the time to do this because I know I won't with the next kids and this is such a special time. Melinda, Ryan's brothers fiance is great with photography and capturing special moments. She was kind enough to take the pictures for me and they are So cute. I am so grateful to Melinda and all her help with the baby room and pictures. She is great and has made this even more fun for me! Here are a few of them for your enjoyment. This is it folks! Hopefully the next couple posts are pictures of the baby room and my precious baby! Wish me luck! :)
Big Belly Ready To BURST! :)
