Daily Update

So as you can imagine we are getting quite nervous about our upcoming day! I stopped working today at Continental to rest up. I have been making lists and lists of things to get done and/or get before Ari arrives. This weekend we stocked the freezer w/ hamburger meat, chicken breasts & drumsticks, steak & a roast. Nana was very impressed with our preparations.

On Monday (yesterday) Denise said she would be surprised if I last the week. Eek! As most of you know my original due date was November 16th then Dr. Baden said November 6th and then back to November 10th and NOW any day!!!! I totally flipped out and of course ran to Babies R Us and bought who knows what in sheer terror that I was going to go into labor there at the store. ;)

I was supposed to lay down all day with my feet up but that is not a very easy task for me. I got up with Buddy at 6:45 am and made us some oatmeal and packed his lunch. Once he left I did a couple silly things around here (all on the 1st floor) then left to go to the dreaded DMV. I only had to wait about 30 mins. to change my address. I went by the library to vote but upon seeing the line wrapped around the building I though better of it. I ran to the dry cleaners, Target, Chick-fil-A... you getting the pattern now. :) I met Nana at Oasis for pedi's - which was nice. (Mine w/ no massage of course - I didn't want them to induce my labor w/ pressure points!) After that I went w/ Nana to the hair salon where she got all pretty for Ari. She also made some killer vegetable soup for dinner. Yummy! I made one more stop on the way home at Home Depot to pick up new air filters for the house. I am obsessed w/ changing all the batteries in the smoke detectors and air filters.

I'll try to get better about blogging here in the last days. Thank you everyone for the calls and warm wishes! It won't be long now.

Oh I almost forgot - I finally found a pediatrician for Ari! His name is Dr. James Abbott and has been practicing for 35 years. Just the kind of Dr. I like - experienced and knowledgeable! Thanks Nanga for the recommendation!
