fine, don't come out.

Okay so I guess he doesn't want to be a November baby....
Sad.
I'm still preggers, although now that November's gone, I'm over most of my impatience.
So here's a picture of the giant belly at Thanksgiving, so 39 weeks.
5 more days till the due date! Ben was right on time, so hopefully this dude won't be taking any longer than 5 days to get here. Plus I'm running out of things to wear and I'm tired of all my preggo clothes.

Using the tummy to hold some leftovers...

11 days (or so...)

Hopefully less than 11. I am so impatient! I feel like this time it went by SO much faster, but I'm still anxious to just have him here and play with him. I finished up my externship on Friday so I am DONE with school until the 12th of January. Woohooo!

The due date is 11 days away as of today... Here's a picture of my big ol belly at the park this Sunday. And a super cute one of Jason and Ben.

Also, the day after Thanksgiving I intend to make Scalini's (supposedly) labor inducing eggplant parmesan. We'll see how that goes!

My parents are getting here tomorrow, so that's exciting. They'll be here for Thanksgiving, and of course the baby, and then they are staying for Ben's b-day (on the 17th) and Christmas. And my mom is staying all the way till Amelia's first birthday on the 25th of January. Ben is beyond excited to see them... I am too!

36 weeks!

This week we had the 36 week checkup with the midwives! Today I'm 36 weeks, so I can have this little dude anytime now. I'm thinking November 29th sounds good. That's my bet. I wouldn't mind if he showed up before Thanksgiving though.

Here I am looking gigantically huge....

Change has come to America...

(Obama rally in Portland in March)


Finally.
I am so proud of our country tonight!
I still can't believe that anyone even voted for McCain... but I am so happy that the vote was overwhelmingly Obama. It's beyond awesome.

Finished!

I decided to go with brown sleeves. And I made a little hat to go with it. I made it to fit him right away... so I think this will be his first outfit. Maybe. That's another awesome thing about having him at home, I can be indecisive because we'll have all his clothes there :)
