The waiting game

Well, here we are the day before our due date and still no baby. Last week at the doctor's office, we took to heart our doctor's comment of "I'd be very surprised if you made it to your due date...". What does she know anyways.

I am officially on maternity leave for three months and now all I need is a baby to take care of. The waiting is kind of getting to us and I'm starting to overanalyze any little contraction or other symptom or sign of labor. I keep thinking that my water may have broke, but turns out I just peed a little. Oh the joys. :)

I am very excited to have a little baby in the house again and I think Anna is going to dig it. She is talking about baby Drew a lot and is even okay with the fact that her old room is now Drew's room and her old crib is now "baby Drew's" bed. That's right folks, Anna is in her new big girl room and it is so adorable! She's been sleeping in her new room and bed for about a week and the transition went so much smoother than I thought. She hasn't gotten out of bed at night once, and she's sleeping just as good as she was in her crib. It seems like us adults make a bigger deal out of it than the kids do! I was so stressed out over it, and how moving Anna out of her old room was going to effect her, but she loved it. And honestly, we set up such a sweet new room, who wouldn't love it? :) We (Dane and my mom) painted the room yellow and we found some awesome white bunk beds on craigslist which turned out to be a great buy! My mom made three fabric covered flowers for the wall and I bought a long mirror and some stencil/stickers for the wall and it all turned out great. It also made a DRASTIC difference getting our new carpet put in upstairs. Who knew a nice neutral beige would look so much better than an ugly, dirty blue? :) We love it!

So Anna's old room is now Drew's room and it is coming along quite nicely. We've "blued" everyting up, and my mom painted some cool sports balls to hang on the wall (football, basketball, soccer ball, and baseball). Dane's mom and I went and picked out some fabric for curtains, and Marcy just brought by the finished product today. They turned out GREAT! I would post pictures of both the rooms, but our camera has been packed in our hospital bag for the last couple of weeks and is sitting in my car. :) I will show the finished product after we get back from the hospital.

I feel like we've gotten all the projects completed that were on my list, and my husband has been wonderful about it. Seriously, the man deserves a medal for not leaving me thoughout this process. :) I put a lot on his plate and he did it all without too much complaining...thank you honey!

We've been keeping ourselves busy by going spending time with friends over the weekend and then of course with family on Easter. Dane's brother and his family hosted up in Seattle, and at first we weren't going to venture that far away, but rather than sit at home and focus on the fact that the baby wasn't coming, we decided to chance it head to Seattle for Easter. We're obviously glad we made that decision, and it was a very nice day filled with delicious food, an Easter egg hunt, and good company. Our sister-in-law Holly makes homemade cinnemon rolls that are to die for!! I had two.

Not much else has been going on, other than just waiting waiting and more waiting. Now it's time for yet ANOTHER walk around the neighborhood. Send me lots of laborish thoughts!! Then next time I post, I will hopefully be saying we have a new baby home with us! We'll keep you all informed!
