Still Waiting

No baby yet . . . still waiting. My actual due date is March 1st. Any bets on when I'll deliver? (I went overdue with my two others but I always hold out that fraction of hope for earlier.)

Step #4: Buying a Car Seat

Last week I did my final step for preparing for my babe: buying a car seat. It was easy since Diego and I picked one out together a few weeks ago and I just waited for it to go on sale. If anyone is wondering why I didn't already have a car seat considering I have two other children . . . it's because car seats expire. That's right e-x-p-i-r-e. Like canned food or something, apparently they have a "shelf life" of five years and then you are supposed to get a new one. When I went to check the expiration date on my car seat, of course, I found that it had passed because we had bought it for our (now) five year old. I asked my dad if he thought this was just a hoax and he replied that it is probably a "justifiable hoax." Call me gullible then, but I got a new one.

Two and a half weeks to go . . .

Just for fun . . .

Just for fun I want to post these pictures of Alisa cleaning out our fridge on moving day last November. My kids love this kind of stuff but Alisa sure looked adorable. I really miss that house in St. George.






And a few more funny words she says:

nu-hing = nothing
tun-ting = something
hair-plane = airplane
pack-pack = backpack
hiccing-up = hiccuping

I need to start remembering funny things she says because there are many funny words left.

Step #3: Drs Appointments

See . . . I am trying to get ready for this baby. Last week I took the kids for dental appointments and to one of my ob/gyn appointments; in a few days we are visiting the pediatrician for shots. It feels good to get all this stuff done! I should be on top of things more often. I'm more likely to be the one to wait to do something until we absolutely have to.

By the way, at my last drs. appointment, I discovered that I weigh as much as my 5'10" husband. Yikes. I know they tell you not to pay much attention to your weight when you are pregnant but come on. A few months ago I wrote a post wondering if my winter coat would fit over my big belly during the rest of the winter. Well, IT DOESN'T. You'd think this would be a major problem considering the temperature is hovering around 20 degrees . . . and it was . . . until my husband suggested that I try out one of his coats. Would you believe that they fit beautifully with room to spare? So I might weigh as much as him but I suppose I am not quite as big as him. (I know, I probably do "fill" the thing out a bit more than him but don't mention it.)

Four more weeks to go . . .
