the waiting game is not fun

ok, a week later, and still no mikaela.....not that i really figured she'd ACTUALLY come early!! she's stubborn like her brother, daddy, and mommy! i measured fine at my last appointment, but my doctor still wants to do an ultrasound to see how big baby is, so maybe by some miracle, she'll decide that she wants to take her early..at this point, i don't care if she comes a day earlier, i just want her to get here! i'm getting fat, hot, and grumpy...my feet look awful (this is saying it mildly..if you saw them, you'd understand)!! i'm so swollen and blah everyday..fortunately i've been able to work inside for the past few days, so i haven't had to be out in the heat as much, but it's still ridiculously hot outside when i do venture out...

but yes, i AM hoping that maybe instead of the 21st, it'll be the 19th, 18th, maybe even the 16th?? i think that's just more of my wishful thinking. unless she's measuring 10 pounds, i'm sure they'll let her cook some more.....i'm just SO DONE w/ the whole pregnancy thing..it wasn't so bad w/ judahbug because it was in the winter, but summer babies make a person feel miserable!! i am, however, so incredibly excited to meet this little girl!! allen's about to die if she doesn't make her appearance soon, and judah....well, judah's still getting used to the idea. he knows she's in my belly and he tells me that he wants her to come "out of there"...apparently babies come out of bellybuttons now...haha..so a two year old would think..he's so funny though. i know he'll be a great big brother once he gets the hang of everything. as long as he gets attention, he'll be good to go :) fortunately, there will be plenty of grandparents to go around come mikaela's "birth" day.....i can't wait!!! :)

less than 2 weeks!! (wow, it's weird to think it's so soon!!! yikes!!)
