So here I am still sitting at home waiting, waiting, and more waiting. I have been unsuccessful at concentrating at work in fear and in hopes that I will go into labor (fear that my water will break and I am not at an appropriate place) with nothing happening. I guess I shouldn't say "nothing" I have been having contractions here and there and was almost convinced yesterday that it was time, but as soon as I got home they stopped pretty much for the rest of the day. I am starting to give up hope, I will be forever 40 lbs heavier and have a large belly that moves around on it's own free will.
As I started to think last night that my due date is fast approaching and Dan's mom will be flying in on the 6th of February (so now less than a week) I started to feel a little sad. I think some of the pressure I have been putting on myself to get this baby out into the world may be the desire to have at least a couple of days of just me, Dan, Katelynn and our new addition. I am hoping that I will still be able to have this and if I start to relax a little more than maybe this will become a reality? The bags are packed and we are all ready to go. Katelynn even said the other morning on the way to daycare that she no longer wants that baby in my tummy, well sweetheart, I couldn't agree with you more.
Katelynn has really been great these last couple of weeks and growing into a little girl. She has started to entertain and play by herself a little more and it is so fun to watch her interact with whatever or whoever she is playing. Because I have been getting a little lazy on the cooking scene we have been going out to eat a little more, which scares the hell out of Dan and I due to PTSD of Katelynn's bad behavior in restaurants, but surprisingly she has turned a new leaf on this and has been really good the last few times we have went out. This week we even went to Red Lobster and she ate snow crab legs, popcorn shrimp and some of Dad's fish. One thing that Katelynn has recently had on her mind is being competitive with any other 3 year old girl. At daycare it is now a competition between her and the 4 year old girl, Sam, on who can get to the house first and bring the daycare provider her newspaper from outside, which one of them has the softest blanket, who is the prettiest in girl in town. Katelynn has even started to bring in her other friends and if she has outgrown an article of clothing then we can give it to one of them because she is bigger and has grown up more than they have. I haven't figured out where this has come from yet, but am trying to curtail it and say the correct things as a mother should.
The car scene has not changed either. I have now started to call my Caliber "The Shoebox". This infuriates Dan, but that's alright with me, so do a lot of other things. Dan is still sticking to waiting another month or two on purchasing a car and so far even with today being the last day of the month nobody has called to try and negotiate with me to sell a car. I have noticed the place where I originally looked at the Tribeca now has 4 used 2006 Tribeca's on their lot and I am hoping that they will eventually want to push one of these out and possibly move it my way. The 2 new cars have lower miles and are under warranty still and are priced at $1000 more, but they do not have the Navigation system or DVD player, I may have to give up on those 2 items and go with something that I can talk Dan into - lower miles, but still the car that I have my heart set on, we'll see what unfolds in the near future.
Well, time to get off of here, Katelynn and I have some Blueberry Muffins to make for breakfast.
