40 weeks...

Alright...for all of you that thought we wouldn't make it to the 40th week...you were/are wrong!!! We are here and are hoping our sweet little baby will come and join the world soon. Our doctor's appointment went well yesterday and if our baby doesn't venture into this world in the next week on their own, we will have to have to talk about induction. I would prefer to go naturally and we are hoping over the next few days we can be holding our new baby!!! So, all I can say is stay tuned!!!

Birthday Gift...

This is a picture of my new necklace my very thoughtful husband gave to me for my birthday... I absolutely love it...

My Birthday...

Was wonderful...My morning started out with some flowers being delivered from my absolutely wonderful neighbours, they are beautiful:) They then took Maddie and I out for lunch after bringing me some very thoughtful gifts. After lunch we headed back to their place where we had a cake that they bought for me...They really made my day wonderful! I made a steak dinner and during our dinner the dog started going CRAZY!!! Barking, growling and carrying on...we were yelling at her to stop because we just assumed it was my Mom, who was stopping by...I looked out the front window to find a BIG BLACK GORILLA with balloons and a bunch of banana's at my door...Mark had to pick the dog up and go and hide her in the bedroom...this thing wouldn't speak to me...just kept hugging me, actually creeped me out a little...He left and then we figured out who it was... A very long time family friend, whom means the world to me and my family...He is always pulling pranks like this but I wouldn't have guessed in a million years who it was...They had come out with my Mom to wish me a Happy Birthday...and it worked!!!

Even though he was sweating hot in this suit, he put it back on for some pictures. (I was too weirded out the first time to take any!!!) Maddie thought it was so funny...They also brought me some pretty flowers!! My last few birthdays haven't been so great because I always end up sick...this year definitely made up for that:))

In all the excitement I hadn't had time to open up my other gifts...I got more goodies including some money and a spa gift certificate. And my wonderful husband gave me the most precious necklace...I should take a pic and show you, never thought of that...huh...I will do that...

So, thank you to all who made my day a great one!! I got lots of phone calls and e-mails too!! I truly did have a great day!!

Birthday Dinner...

We went out for dinner tonight with our great friends to celebrate my birthday...which is tomorrow!!! Maddie brought her funny glasses and everyone tried them on!!!

Yes...Mark was with us but he wouldn't cooperate for the camera...surprise, surprise!!!

We took some shots of all of us...pictures truly are a wonderful thing!!!

We all had a wonderful dinner! The waitress's sang to me and brought me dessert...I thought it was great! Birthdays only come once a year and it is only a number...

And they say "You are only as old as you feel...!!!"

Thanks to my family and great friends for helping me celebrate...can't wait to see what tomorrow brings....

Yup...still hanging in...

Ok...so for those of you who are wondering...NO...there is no baby yet! And for those of you whom have had the pleasure of being a "Lady in Waiting", one of the worst questions you can ask is "Are you still pregnant??!!" What do you think the answer is going to be??!!!

From day one, months ago now, almost everyone said that we would go early and I would never go the full 40 weeks...well, WRONG!!! I think that I let myself believe everyone and now I have made myself anxious and very impatient...that will teach me for listening to other's opinions...lol!!!

So...we will let you know as soon as we know!!!

39 weeks...

Wow...almost time...1 more week to go and we will be FOUR!!!! We are so very excited and ready...Maddie asks every day when the baby is coming?!! I wish I knew Honey...is what I tell her!! I am feeling great but I won't lie...this heat is toooooo much for this Big Momma!!! It makes me a little grumpy:)) I keep myself going by saying it will only be 2 weeks maximum!!! Our doctor's appointment went well yesterday and I made one more for next week but we are hoping I won't need to use...We would love our little baby to come NOW!!!! So, if you could all pray and do a dance for us we would really appreciate it!!!

Ready...Set...COME ON!!!!

So we know it isn't exactly a completely finished project...but we are ready!!! We aren't going to paint until we meet the baby and Mark is working on putting the doors up right now!!!

Everything is washed, cleaned and waiting...and waiting...do you sense a small bit of excitement??!!! (Or maybe impatience?!)
