*Sorry, too lazy for a pic this week, I will put a back log of them on here when I get a wild hair*
I am so sick of waiting. I actually have everything ready to go (or at least I think I do). And for once in my life it's ahead of time! We have another appt this Thursday morning that I am excited for, I am hoping that there has been some change since last time, hopefully not quite as dramatic though :)
I am totally copying Becca's blog, but I love that it covers all the common questions:
How I'm feeling: depends on the minute you ask me. Typical answers would be... back pain, tired, hungry, pissy, sweaty, annoyed, lazy... If you are my patient or pretty much anyone other than my best friend or family I usually answer with "Not too shabby" or "Hangin in there" with a smile on my face. If I say it enought I start to believe it after about hour 3 of working.
How big is she: probably huge, I mean, I feel huge. Maybe 7.5-8 lbs?
Weight gain so far: A ridiculous 48 pounds :(
How is Andrew: anxious! He wants to see what she looks like. He's been keeping me busy and giving my surprises almost everyday, so sweet!
How much time are you taking off: 12 weeks, maybe 2 more, but at least 12 weeks. We have daycare all set up, Gracie and Mia will be at the same place and Mia is doing SO good there. Gracie will have a lot to learn, mIa isn't making it easy :)
What I'm most excited for: Obviously to meet her and see what she looks like. To get back to real clothes and shoes (ya, my boots don't fit), get my shoes and sock on with out sounding like I triend to run a lap around the track, and wine, wine, wine.
What I'm most afraid of: That something might go wrong with Gracie, that I will still be huge like months from now, and that Barney won't chill out. Speaking of Barn Barn...he's been crazy lately. He needs serious attention, he won't leave my side and his energy level is through the roof! He has gone through and tore up most his toys, it looks like a massacre in our living room most days.

What an amazing night last night! Food, Wine, and Wishes is an annual charity event thrown by Make a Wish to raise money. It was held at the Portland Art Museum (where Andrew and I had our first prom together) and the amount of money raised was ridicuous! We are talking about people throwing up their auction numbers to donate $10,000, we kinda felt a little out of place at that particular moment :) These people are giving kids the most amazing gift, their wish. The people we met were so nice and the stuff donated for auction was so much more than I have ever seen. Last year I heard they raised over $300,000 and I have full confidence that this year they surpassed that. And I definitely will need to buy a new dress for next year, assuming I'm not pregnant again haha.
Weekly Update:
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 7 pounds ( I bet you she's past that) and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb. Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old.
Believe it or not, your baby may have taken her first bowel movement. The waste is a greenish-black substance called meconium and either passed in the womb or is stored in its intestines and will be excreted after birth. Your baby is also practicing breathing and urinating.
