Evie is coming tomorrow!

I cannot believe its finally here. Today is my last day of not being someone's MOMMY!!! I have way too many thoughts and things going through my brain to get them all out here.. I'm mostly just THRILLED and EXCITED.. I am really not that worried about labor, oddly.. I do worry a little about how life will be after baby.. but I know it will all be for the better! I am mostly just chilling at home today..
Jeff has to work 10-9 unfortunately, but it is so he can have the rest of the week off. I'd love to have him here today too though. I need to go to the grocery store.. Get snacks for the hospital bag and some basics to have in the house for when we come home.. but I am not looking forward to it..
I also have to stop at the post office, because i have to send something back that we ordered. We ordered what was supposed to be a cd player alarm clock for Eve's room.. Not that she needs an alarm clock, but I thought it would be nice to have a clock in there.. but I really just wanted the cd player.. oh and it had a line-in and stand for an Ipod too.. so I thought that would be handy.. Problem is, it arrived and had no CD player.. They were apparently claiming that the line in could be used to ATTACH a CD player.. So.. thats going back.. Luckily it was cheap and Amazon.com makes returns easy and I don't have to pay for the shipping.

The rest of my amazon.com order with the books I ordered should be here today finally. Its taken forever. It supposedly shipped on Valentines day, but the tracking info is very vague. Most are kids books for Evie but I also got myself a breastfeeding book (mostly about returning to work) and Happiest Baby on the Block, because I am fairly certain that Harvey Karp has made suckers of my DH and I with his DVD.. We shall see if this all actually works for OUR baby though.

Hmm.. What else? Well.. I have been having some smallish contractions the last couple days.. Saturday night I was having them, but they stopped after I went to bed and didn't start again until Sunday night, but Sunday they didn't stop once I went to bed, and they actually hurt a little to the point where they did wake me up a few times.. but they weren't anything major or to the point where I could really time them. They seem to have subsided a bit this morning, but they are not totally gone.. I still do not think I'm gonna go into labor on my own in the next 20 hours.. but maybe it will make the induction a little easier? Here's hoping, I guess.

I am gonna try to get Jeff to take one last belly pic when he gets home tonight.. I actually think we are gonna both miss this whole pregnancy thing! But we can't WAIT to meet our daughter!

OMG! The day is really here. I can't believe it. You and Jeff need to go out to eat tonight. Go somewhere nice. I mean really nice. Get dolled up for him. Let him put on his best for you. I think you both need a night for just you. I am so happy and teary eyed for you. It is about time you get your happy ending and I am so glad that I have gotten to share it all with you thru your blog.
