Are we there yet??

I apologize if I sound like the kids in the back seat during a road trip...but I really need this baby to come out. Between worrying about the normal business stuff at the salon, having enough groceries in the house for when baby comes, making sure all laundry is done so we don't have to do much, trying to get Dex back on a better schedule (because mommy is too tired/lazy to get everything done in a timely fashion), and to get some  down time for Derrick and I before the baby comes, it is a little hectic.

My cousin Carly was in town for a few days, and that was some fun downtime to just do girly stuff. We actually just ended up eating the whole time, and I gained 4 pounds. Whoops. Might as well do that now.

Dex has been pushing all my buttons this past week because he was showing off while Carly stayed with us, and he knows I am not as quick as I used to be. He knows he can run away from me, and I can't really chase him. It really gets to me because if I want to have any sort of schedule, I have to wrestle him down first! This type of behavior usually occurs when we have nothing "fun" to do, and I just want to sit on the couch and do nothing, or sleep.

Derrick has been super busy at work, and sometimes has to work a little later until 6 or 6 thirty, instead of the  normal 5-5 thirty, which doesn't sound like much to you...but it is to me. I usually like to try to wind Dex down around 8pm, but he loves to play with Daddy after he gets home, and they usually play like wild boys for 2 hours..so sometimes he isn't too tired when I need to put him down. I am very lucky that Derrick is such a great dad, and wants to spend time with Dex. It helps me to get a little downtime, but I also feel guilty because Derrick obviously needs downtime after work as well...but that is why he stays up super late at night to relax. On the weekends we take turns doing what we want to do.

Today Derrick took Dex to John Ball Zoo and they had a great time. I wish I could have gone! I just really can't walk very well, so I want this baby out so I can actually do something!!!!!!! I will probably run laps around the house after I heal up! This baby is so low, I can barely bend. I can actually feel myself bending into her. Her head is literally about to come out, lol. The doc says she is "right there".

Today I was having a "hormonal" day. Or screw that...I was just having a day where crap kept happening, and it really upset me! Even if I wasn't hormonal, I still would have cried. Nothing was working the way I needed it to. I needed to print documents for work from my house, and my printer wasn't responding, then I must have knocked some cord, and the internet stopped working, and I couldn't get behind my desk to fix anything because I am too fat and can't bend....and Derrick wasn't home to help.....and I only had a few hour window to myself, and I just wanted to relax in the bath tub, and shave my legs one more time....BUT, instead, I had to go into work to print,scan, and send the documents I needed to...and my garage door got stuck...so I just left it up....so then I ended up doing other paperwork at work while I was there..I did get home in time to take a bath, and then Derrick and Dex came home, and I got Dex right to bed for a nap! SO, here I sit. Joy! We will probably take Dex to the toy store after he gets up to get him a pool with all those balls, or a power wheel....I haven't a clue...I just know Derrick got him excited about some toy on the way home from the zoo.

So, I am 37 weeks and 6 days today. Let's see if I go into labor in 2 days, or beat Dexters womb time. This girl feels cozy in me, while I do not. I should send her an eviction notice. For all of you who say, "keep her cooking"....you are not physically in pain every day,and can't be a good mom to your toddler...So I kinda need her out. ;-) now. Will keep all updated!
