38 Weeks

Well as of today we know for sure we will have a May baby!! :)  Bring on the emeralds ;)  We celebrated Andy's birthday April 29th and I really thought I may be going into labor that afternoon.  I started to have some really weird pains in my belly and as best I can remember, it was weird unusual pains that started off Harper's labor as well.  I texted him that afternoon at work and just told him to go ahead and make sure he had thrown whatever he needs for the hospital into our bag and that I would talk later.  I was rushing through an admission and trying to get all my work done so I could head home.  Needless to say, I made it home, plopped down on the couch to watch Frozen with Harper and sip some water and after a couple hours it all went away.  All that excitement for nothing! Andy was so excited as he thought it would be very cool to share his birthday with his little girl :)

Later that night, my hormones took over... we had the busiest weekend ever and I felt that I did not have time to adequately prepare for Andy's birthday.  Not to mention on the actual day of I spent the first couple hours at home sitting still so he made us all dinner on his own birthday :(  So after Harper went to bed I had the silliest meltdown ever... my poor little cankles were so swollen which got me all worked up at first... and then I was crying because I felt his birthday wasn't special enough... and then I was crying because I was crying on his birthday.... lol.  And then of course we just both start cracking up.  It was seriously ridiculous but we are just going to chalk that one up to pregnancy hormones ;)

We did a lot of work in the nursery this past Sunday as far as getting things hung and making it look a little more put together :)  I've got a couple bare spots that I'm planning to fill with newborn pictures and the room needs to be tidied up still but I will try to post some pics in the next few days.

I've got two more long days this week at work but after that I have no more calls/nights/weekends! yay!   Andy thinks today is the day she's coming (I don't) but we're hoping she holds out until next week now so we can have one more fun, relaxing weekend as a family of 3 :)
