The final week... hopefully!

Let me tell you a little tip, when you are 39 weeks and 1 day pregnant, it is not a good idea to get down on the floor cross legged [especially when you are home alone] because there is something about a pregnant belly, balance and leg strength that won't work in your favor when you are trying to get back up again.  It took me a good full minute to get up... all I could think was, where is my phone, can I reach it if I need to call Ryan to come home from work to pick me up off the floor?!  The answer was no- the phone was in the kitchen so I would of had to crawl which would have been equally painful.  So I had no choice but to laugh and laugh [causing more pain to the growing babe I am sure] as I shimmied and shook , grunted and groaned until I could, in fact, get back up in a standing position.  I won't be on the floor for the rest of this pregnancy.  I should have known better.  Now I have been on the couch for the last half hour just trying to relax after that unnecessary exercise.

We are having a nice little heat wave. In the 80's the last few days!  So I have been putting on flowy dresses for comfort and to keep cool.  Here is what I hope is the last baby bump picture...  My doctor is back tomorrow, Ryan is working in Irvine again, and I wrapped up the last few things I needed to complete before going on leave from work.  Come on baby!  We are ready to meet you!!!

  1. I seriously used to have a tank top that looked just like that...without the huge bump! Laura you look fabulous! You are going to bounce back in no time! It is like all baby! That floor story cracked me up! One of those times that you wish your life was a reality TV show so that you could watch it again and laugh! So everyone at work thinks its mean that I'm hoping for a leap year day niece, so I guess I need to hope for another day! From the sounds of your readiness I'm gonna hope for 2-24-12! LOVE YOU!!!
