So today, Friday Feb 4, 2011 Jeff and I went on, our possibly last night, out on the town as a couple, without child. We actually haven't been able to go "out" on a date in a while, partially because of money and somewhat because I hadn't really felt very well... all the symptoms of pregnancy... Tonight however, I look prego, but I don't feel it... I'm full of energy, it doesn't hurt to walk, I don't feel abnormally sore in the pelvic area, nothing... I feel good, and it felt real good to go "out to dinner" with my husband! I know in the future we will still be able to "go out" but it will be different because we'll either have to bring Mason along or find a sitter... wow, I feel old and responsible saying that! anyway... it will be different, but it will be great!
We went to Callaway's Bistro... it was delicious but not $20 delicious for one plate of shared food! We had no idea what the price was like until after we were seated, is it rude to take a menu and then decide to not eat there anymore and walk out? (we didn't do that, but I wanted to)... The atmosphere was hot... and I mean literally... the heat vent was blowing ridiculously hot air right on us. The patio furniture was an interesting choice for couple's seating, it is hard to get close to someone you love when there's a huge bar and table leg in the way, not to mention the seats are enormously stocky and awkward. Now that I've been to Callaway's, I know not to go there again... both Jeff and I did have a great time, mostly making fun and chillaxing. :)
So... No baby today... maybe tomorrow or the next day... and if not, definitely Monday.

naturally or induction?
Friday, February 4, 2011... I thought maybe today would be "THE DAY" but maybe it is too early to tell, but I haven't even had a single contraction yet. I will keep you posted, anything can happen!
My parents will be coming Sunday Night or Monday morning no matter what and Dust will be up Monday evening, so they're both banking on me getting induced on Monday Feb 7; which looks like that may be the case...
Mason is just too comfortable, he likes living in the dark where it is warm and there isn't much noise. :)
Week 40, 4 days past due, but in the whole scheme of things I'm glad he's still in there, it makes my job a bit easier, for now, even though I am so anxious to hold his little (or long) body in my arms! I was telling Jeff this morning, "I wonder if when we hold him if the whole idea of being parents will really sink in, or if I'll have to see you cry in order for it to really feel real?" he said, "cry? why do I have to cry? You might want to change your plans." (I've never seen Jeff cry, and I'm hoping maybe to get a few tears out of him from this occasion... I don't know why it is so important to me...perhaps it shows he really is human!)
Next week will be interesting, because then I will have had the baby, My family is only staying till Wednesday afternoon, and Jeff will be gone all day! I will be all by myself with a newborn baby... eek, scary and exciting!
I'm glad that he was able to find a job at Icon Fitness in their customer service sales department, and was able to get hired on at Tax Liberty. (He didn't think he would like anything to do with accounting, but he really like doing people's taxes)

Jeff is taking apart the stroller that Stacy let us borrow, it smells like vomit, (not her fault, her in-laws put it in their garage, and for some reason it stunk) so I have to clean it.

bowling ball
USU's Skyroom Restaurant Team...Me, Anthony, Aubrey, Melanie, Maurina...
Friday was my last day of work, and I actually had to "work"! they have already hired my replacement, I had been training him for the last 3 weeks. He's a good kid. I will definitely miss the people, not the job so much, but it was a pretty good gig considering what I was doing and how much I was getting paid. No complaints!
It will be different to not work anymore (well at a job where I get paid in money)... now I will have a full time job 24/7, 365 days a year, getting paid in smiles, laughs, and hugs.. which is pretty good! :)
I am so excited for our baby to come!
Jeff was reading a Parent Magazine, and in it it described how a woman feels at about week 38 and I'm week 40, it feels like there's a "bowling ball" in between their legs- reasons why women waddle and can never get comfortable, why we are so slow when we move...because of how the baby is always pushing down in the pelvic area, our muscles in our legs are always sore - making it feel like we just did 1,000 lunges before we start walking, he started laughing and then turns to me abruptly, "is this accurate?" Absolutely! "ahhh... I'm sorry!"
Monday, Jan 31... I am still pregnant! I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow, scheduled to see the ultrasound technician and for him and the Doc to run some tests, make sure baby and me are OK. If pass and are "OK" I will be scheduled to be induced Monday Feb 7 (one week after my due date - today- unless I go into labor all on my own before then...), and if we don't pass, I could be induced that day (tomorrow) or some other day depending on the situation, or worse yet, may have to have a c-section. I definitely do NOT want one unless absolutely necessary! ugh.
So today, Monday, my due date, not only am I nervous and anxious about today, tomorrow, and the next couple of days, but I am hoping (and possibly doing every myth in the book to make him come) that My body will go into labor all on its own without any help from the Dr. In some ways though, I knew he wasn't ever going to be born on this day, I knew he was going to be late, I just don't know how late.
So the other day I got a message from my sister, Mikke, and the girls about their predictions of the baby child's due date, birth weight, eye and hair color, and complexion.
Andrea: blue eyes, brown hair, come late wed. 8lbs 1oz
Mikke: hazel eyes, no hair, but blonde later, Tuesday morning 1 am, 7lbs 4 oz
Ayden: Mon Jan 31, blue eyes, black hair, 6lbs
Norah: Mon Jan 31,brown eyes, 5 lbs, brown hair
Ivy: Mon Jan 31, blue eyes, brown hair, 10 lbs
Lydia: brown hair, brown eyes, Mon Jan 31
I know the day isn't over, but so far the girls are wrong... no baby.. but I'll keep you all posted.
