Almost 39 Weeks!

Hello!

Well, it's the home stretch as they say and we are patiently (or not so patiently--depends on who you ask) awaiting the arrival of our baby. Save for the occasional poke or prod, she's not giving me much to work with in terms of labor clues. Guess we're on June's clock now, might as well get used to it! Maybe she'll come a bit early and choose Halloween as her birthday. Or maybe she'll choose Veteran's Day. I'd go with Veteran's Day because you get a guaranteed day off from school every year. Who wouldn't like that? Too bad she has no concept of national holidays yet.

Other than that, nothing else to report. Hopefully the next update will include pictures of an adorably smooshy little newborn. Let us hope!

Junie June

Today I learned that the woman who played June Cleaver, Barbara Billingsley, passed away. We were kind of back and forth with the name June, but I think that now it's semi-official. It's kinda like one June leaves and a new one enters. Anyhow, I loved her in Airplane. I thought I would post a clip from Youtube because it's just awesome. RIP Barbara Billingsley AKA June Cleaver:

Full-Term?!

Hello everyone!

So tomorrow I'll be full term. Which rules, because basically I can have the baby anytime now and it will be OK. So come on baby, time is money!

I kid, of course. She can take her sweet time. Although... I wouldn't complain if she came a little early.

So excited!

Locked and Loaded

Weekly update here... I heard a rumour that baby's head is "nicely engaged".

(To which my mom replied, "Well, when is she getting married?" Nice one, mom.)

Anyhow, it might not mean much--but I'm hoping it means that she makes her grand entrance sooner rather than later.

A girl can dream, right?

I hope everyone is doing well, it's been great weather lately. Saturday is my last day at work and then I start maternity leave. Pretty excited about it all! It's getting down to the wire, folks!

That's all for now, adios.

BIG BABY J!

I was told that little June might be a 9 lb. + baby at the midwife appointment today. It didn't come as too much of a surprise, but it's funny to think of a chubby little baby just chillin' in the womb. I'm betting that she wont quite make 9 lbs. But we'll see! Either way she'll be a cute little chubber.

Photo Shoot.

I don't have a scanner but I thought I would take a picture of her 3D ultrasound picture and put it up on the blog:

This is her at 25 weeks old. Crazy, huh? That's her arm in front of her face, in case you were wondering.

Almost 34 Weeks, Eek!

Insomnia! Yay! Just another one of the lovely side-effects of pregnancy. Oh well, it gives me time to update this blog. It's hard to imagine that soon I will be full-term and ready to have this baby. I am reeeeaaaally looking forward to it. I say that in all honesty, simply because at this point, I am pretty much over being pregnant. I'll take the benefits of pregnancy (baby) minus the actual growing of the child please, thanks. It hasn't been a horrible pregnancy at all, in fact quite the opposite--we are just ready to move on. Impatient, really. Dusty is really looking forward to meeting her as well. I think he feels similar to how I do, kind of like a "let's get this show on the road" mentality. I should put more pictures on here, but there's really nothing to take pictures of yet. At least nothing of interest. Except my swollen feet. And trust me, you don't want to see that. No, you don't.

Anyhow, just checking in! Hope everyone is well.
