10 on Tuesday

1. THIS BABY IS NEVER GOING TO COME OUT!!! I have never felt this impatient waiting for anything in my whole life! I am up to pee 3-4 times a night, and every twinge/pain/movement I feel I think, "is it starting?" I have had dreams that it is a boy. I dreamt last night that it was a girl, and that no one liked the name we chose. My bet was that the baby would arrive on the 8th......so much for mother's intuition.

2. In related news.....I am huge. I didn't realize how huge until I saw this photo......yikes! I grow big babies.....that sounds like a bad bumper sticker. There is one thing to be grateful for.....NO stretch marks!!


3. I am driving my husband crazy. I have been unbelievably thirsty the last month, and I LOVE ice cubes. No matter what I am drinking, the glass is 3/4 full of ice. I always swish the glass before I take a drink, so that the ice cubes don't stick at the bottom and splash beverage all over my face, and it drives him bonkers! Who knew something so little could drive Ralph mad??

4. I have JUST developed the pictures from the 3 week backpacking adventure to Europe that Ralph and I took. In the Summer of 2005. I wanted to get them scrapbooked and put in an album before the baby arrived. It may have to wait another 3 or 4 years.

5. I did hem the baby room curtains. They look pretty good. Now Ralph wants me to hem his new Tommy Hilfiger jeans. I don't think so.

6. The baby room turned out quite nicely. Now, it just needs a BABY!!!

.....another successful project thanks to Word to the Wall!
I will be ordering more stars to fill things
up/out a bit.

....the very cool sheets that took me forever to find!

7. Some days, Hayden naps. Some days, mommy tries to bribe Hayden to nap. Sometimes the bribes work and sometimes they don't. I think he's too smart for me. Yesterday, I was just about to settle in for a nap and I heard him upstairs. I found him pant-less. Hmmmmm. I asked him why he wasn't napping. His response was "no nap, no Panda movie." I guess the Kung-Fu Panda DVD was a crappy bribe. Maybe I'll go back to the chocolate bribe.....it seems more effective.

8. Our basement looks AMAZING. You have to wait a little while longer for pictures.....but if you ever need a place to stay, the spare room is done. And very cozy. Ralph and I were joking that we should have put a lock on the door do it could be my secret hideaway!!

9. The potty is officially "broken." My floor is very grateful. It is so funny to watch Hayden's little bare bum "ninja" over the big toilet seat. It's even funnier if he accidentally dunks a foot as he's swinging his leg over.

10. Was anyone else getting used to plus temperatures and no snow? I'm looking at a mini-blizzard right now and I don't like it. Plus, I have no shoes that fit well so, extra snow sucks for the girl who has been going barefoot! I need to get some Ugg's for my birthday.
