40-5 days

Well folks, I'm past my due date. But I got to celebrate Christmas, Williams style. All the pictures I have of me on Christmas Eve/Christmas day I don't think I look at ALL pregnant, i think it's the funny angle of the camera. So I have for your enjoyment 2 separate occasions on which I wore the SAME maternity sweater. You can't blame a girl for wearing the one fancy shirt she can still fit in, can you?

Christmas party (Dec 13- 38 weeks, 5 days)

Christmas Eve (40 weeks, 2 days)

Josh and I had a wonderful time being taken care of and having our last "child" Christmas at Aunt Cheri's house. Santa came and filled our stockings and we got so many unexpected gifts! We only wish that baby would've come....although he wouldn't count as an unexpected gift because he's supposed to be here by now.

We ate the world's largest slab of prime rib for Christmas Eve dinner as well as plenty of other delicious foods. Tom and Mary (Mary who is Kendall's cousin/older sister) and their kids: Talia, Landen, and Madilyn spent the night at Cheri's house as well. They're the adorable kids featured with Josh and me above. And this picture shows our "Santa faces". I was channeling Grandpa, I think.

So. I have a Doctor's appointment tomorrow morning and my induction is set for Thursday. I'm not miserable in any way, except I wish the baby would come. I'm starting to get nervous about recovering before school starts. Other than that, Josh and I are doing good!

40 Weeks

On the dot. Today is my due date. In celebration, I worked from 9-5. I can't decide if I hope it's my last day of work or not?

Sooo Baby C obviously didn't arrive when he was supposed to...aka right after my last final. At this point, I'm fine with him staying inside so we can celebrate a fairly normal (one where we still get to be children) Christmas in Salt Lake with the Cheri/Randy family. Now we hope for December 27th.

Alaina took some good pictures of us this last week-so you get to see how big I look at 39, almost 40 weeks preggers.
The hilarious part about that second picture with Adrie is right after she was saying, "I'M WAAAAY BIGGER!" And bemoaning her huge belly. She is so kind.

Also, it's 11 PM and I can't sleep. I think since I worked from sun-up to sun-down (literally...today's the 2nd shortest day of the year) Baby C was all rocked to sleep all day and now he's up with a vengeance. He's been moving and kicking my ribs and hips since 6, so my hope is he'll go to sleep fairly soon. I'm also insanely scatter brained so please forgive my blogging.

And have yourself a Merry Christmas. It's only 2 days away now. :)

38 wks 6 days

Really fast update:
Baby's head is still high so that might be a problem
1 Cm dialated (practically nothing)
Induction set for the 30th
Insane nasal congestion
New ear stuffiness
Stretch marks

Okay. And I'm planning on going into labor on Thursday. Just an FYI...let's see if positive thinking gets this baby here!
