Finally!

It's finally my last day at work. I was going insane considering they can't seem to figure out how to get the AC working in our building. I literally thought I might be sweating so much the baby would just slide right out. I know, gross...

I was a really bad teacher this afternoon. I had some OAA (state test) questions to do with my students, but it was so hot, we had shortened classes, and it was my last day, so instead we watched cartoons. I figured I won't get to enjoy some of the last days of school with them, so I did it my own way today.

Now I get to spend the weekend with only one thought in mind...baby get out! I'm hoping not to need the induction scheduled for Tuesday, but either way it's nice to know that sometime in the next 4 days I will finally get to meet my little baby!

Have you had that baby yet

I wish I could have directed everyone at work to this website today.

Happy Birthday to

no one...at least no one in my house. Today is my due date and I have no baby.

My students drove me insane today freaking out that I was going to give birth in the classroom. I tried to assure them that I wouldn't give birth right there, but they all thought I should be in the hospital.

I had another doctor's appointment yesterday and I am a "big 3" cm dilated. Apparently it doesn't mean anything though, cause still no baby...I wonder how far you can dilate without being in actual labor. One of my coworkers asked it I could feel being dilated...I told her nope, there wasn't a draft or anything.

I"m currently bouncing on an exercise ball because it's supposed to encourage the baby to come out...I think my baby just loves to be bounced and thinks it's all the more reason to stay in.

I don't think I can go to work tomorrow...we'll see how it goes.

If my neighborhood were a reality show....

It would be called "Hippies and Hoodrats" Joe and I went for walk tonight in effort to get this baby to be an outside baby. As we walked off our front porch we saw two thuggish gents with a lady across the street in the section 8 housing talking about "who did Trina think she was" and "I'll show her a thing or two." Not 50 feet later we see two guys out for a stroll smoking what was probably hemp from their Birkenstocks, both with those dirty blond dreads and one wearing a bandanna.

I love living in such a....let's call it diverse....neighborhood.

And the countdown begins...I wish!

After yet another doctor's appointment today, where they didn't even bother to do a check because even if there were more dilation at this point, that doesn't tell us anything, I've decided that this is the worst part about pregnancy...the unknown. This goes completely against my type A personality. Not knowing when a major change in my life is going to occur is driving me crazy. And it's not just the exhaustion, fatness, and off and on contractions...I could endure all of that if I just knew exactly how long I had left. I don't do well in these conditions. To top it all off, it make me kind of anxious. I find myself just wandering around the house, annoying poor Joe because I can't just sit around and wait, but what the hell else am I supposed to do. I need help my dear bloggy friends, or I will go crazy just waiting. What should I do to fill my time?

Insomnia

I've been plagued with it recently. I thought it was getting better, but here it is, 1:30 in the morning and I've been awake for an hour and can't get back to sleep. Last week wasn't so bad because I was on spring break, so I could just nap during the day. Tomorrow, I have to start back to work, and I'm already dreading being there 10 days away from my due date, let alone getting minimal sleep. Here's hoping some late night judge shows will help me get some zzzz's.

Happy Birthday Hubs!

Today is Joe's birthday. Yes, that's right...he's an April Fools baby. It's fitting if you know him. So like a good wife, I got up early and baked him chocolate chip muffins for breakfast. (ok..the truth is I've been having trouble sleeping and figured...meh, I'm up, I'll bake him some muffins.) Tonight we're going to The Top Steakhouse tonight for dinner. I've never been but have heard great things. They have a live piano player who plays Rat Pack music, so that should be cool.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!
