40 Weeks!

I can't believe I'm 40 weeks today.  If you had told me last June that I'd be having a baby in April of this year I probably would have slapped you across the face and cried in my closet.  I was so distraught last summer that I couldn't fathom having a baby let alone one so soon.  I feel truly blessed to be bringing a new life into this world.  The emotion I feel is so overwhelming.  I was in the car with Spencer on Sunday night and the Kenny Chesney song, "Don't Blink", came on and I just started bawling.  Spencer almost pulled the car over because he thought I was having painful contractions...nope I'm just an emotional basket case.  The line in the song that says, "Life goes faster than you think" is so true.  I'm actually tearing up just writing this. 

Aaahhh

Moving right along, if Miss Vivian doesn't come on her own today then we are heading to the hospital tomorrow night to be induced.  I have mixed emotions about the whole process but I know I'm in good hands.  Here is the last photo I plan to have taken before delivery.  I still can't believe there is a baby inside me. 

Twins?

According to recent sonograms I'm not having twins but according to average Joe's on the street I am.  That's right, I pulled up to the CarSpa on Sunday to have my car cleaned and vacuumed before Spencer installs the baby car seat.  A man walks over to my car and I open the door to get out and before I could tell him what I wanted done to the car his eyes widened and he said, "Wow, you having twins?"  Two thoughts ran through my head at that moment, 1) Have I become so big that I'm not aware of how large and in charge I am and 2)I'm going to sucker punch this ass wipe.  I then realized that this ass clown was only 5 foot nothing and his eyes were completely level with my belly.  I'm sure to him and to most small children I do look huge. To deal with this overwhelming sadness of my ever enlarging belly I drove to Wendy's and ordered a number 6 with a Frosty.  I felt much better after that.

We're going streaking in the quad...bring your green hat!

Just kidding.  I'm sure people would rather see Rosanne Barr streak before me.  I am eager to see Miss Viv streak across the delivery room but it seems like that won't happen for at least another week or so.  She is still quite cozy just where she's at.  I'm not dilated yet which I guess is a good thing since technically she has two more weeks. She is about 7 pounds right now and will grow at least a pound if I make it to my due date.
