Welcome October!

Thursday, Oct. 3rd
It was a cloudy day yesterday and a rainy day today... it has been wonderful. I love it. I know living under cloudy skies for too long can cause seasonal depression, but after these past two days I'm seriously considering moving to Portland just so that I may never have to see the sun again, mwahahaha! Okay.... maybe I'm not that into the idea, but I have definitely been a lot happier these past two days because of the coolness. Not to mention I also baked banana bread (and didn't drop it!), and ate egg drop soup and our seven can soup. I'm happy now that I've got to taste a little bit of typical Fall haha.

Baby update: still not here but her due date is Sunday. We went to the doctor's today and she is doing great. I gained more weight (wah- wah) and am now up to 141. Total gained weight: 25 lbs. Not too bad, but it's not the greatest. When he looked at my belly he said "Oh, it looks super tight! I'll probably see you this weekend!" YES! we thought. Just bring her on before midterms start! Then he checked to see if I have dilated at all and I haven't. "Well, she'll probably come next Thursday or Friday." Booooo..... Let me fill you in on Tony's midterm schedule: he has one midterm each day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. His longest test, and the one really should not miss if at all possible is anatomy which will occur none other than Friday. Ugh. Tony isn't worried at all about it, so I feel the responsibility to worry for the both of us. Tonight I did a little Just Dance, stretches, bouncy ball time, and "acupuncture massages" in hopes of making her speed it up in there.



Sunday, Oct. 5th
No baby. I feel huge and frustrated that she has ignored her due date. I was telling Tony it's like a school project; she was given her due date nine months ago and she isn't finished yet?! How can she not be finished?! At least we know she's healthy and happy... even if I'm not (happy that is). Now we just pray that she comes before Friday.

 To commemorate her due date today, we had baby back ribs and carrots I cut "baby-sized." Yes, you heard me right- I made ribs! They turned out pretty good too. Bear loved it!
