So We Keep Waiting, Waiting on the World to Change

I woke up the other day with that song in my head and thought it was pretty fitting for my life right now. My last official day of work was last Friday, one week ago. Probably up there in one of the happiest days of my life. Its been a long ride, and it feels so good to be unemployed. I'm to the point now where I don't even like going out in public anymore. I have about 4 shirts that still fit, and I've resorted to wearing Mike's t-shirts now because at least they're modest. So to be able to stay hibernated in our little house is quite nice. My one adventure is going on my daily walk around the neighborhood. But I try and go when people are all at work or at school. Things with the baby are going well, found out I'm dilated to a 1cm which made me feel great and I have a lot of Braxton Hicks. So at least something is happening.

We also celebrated Mike's 29th birthday last week. I asked him what he wanted to do, as in where to go to dinner, or a movie, or whatever. But as a typical Mike thing to say he said he just wanted to have a cookout with some friends up the canyon. So we did.

Mike's birthday pumkin pie. We only used 1 candle cause I wasn't sure if the pumkin could handle 29....

Good News and Bad News

I went to the Dr. today and we got some good news! The baby has turned head down! I really didn't want a c-section if I could help it. So hopefully he'll stay that way until d-day. He's getting so big I don't know how he has much room to move anymore period. Other than that everything else is looking normal and uneventful.

Our bad news is that Mike's 4Runner is officially dead. Like, time to sell it for scraps if we can. Its been running badly lately so we took it in, and they told us it needs a new engine. Considering its almost 20 years old, its not worth it. The timing is awful. And I now get to take him to work, or have him take the bus until we get another one. We both think that cars are the biggest waste of money and so the thought of spending our money on a new car makes us well....sick. Especially since we're about to have a baby here in a couple weeks. Oh well. Everything happens for a reason right?

Baby Update

Well, I don't know why I'm posting an update because not much is new in the baby department other than I just keep getting bigger and bigger. I even had someone ask me if I was sure I'm not having twins. Yep. Definitely sure of that. He's definitely taking up his fair share of my lungs too. It depends on the day, but 3 out of 7 days of the week I can never seem to get a full breath of air. It feels like I'm having an asthma attack. The doctor simply said the only way to relieve this is DELIVERY. Great. At least its not constant and this baby does give me some breaks. I did go to the doctor today, he checked me to see if I was dilated at all, and I'm not. No surprise there. He said that's normal for this point in pregnancy and if I was then its just an 'added bonus'. Who knows if I'll even be able to deliver this baby, he checked his position and currently the baby is laying SIDEWAYS. Like he's in a hammock. He said he still has time to move, but if he doesn't its a definite c-section. So we're hoping he gets out of his comfy hammock and moves down!
