yesterday i sat around the house hoping at any second i'd spontaneously go into labor & it'd be time. needless to say the minutes drug by & by the time sam came home i was scratching at the walls to get out. i don't do cabin fever very well. today parker & i are getting out & filling up our day with errands & i'm gonna try to not look at my watch as if every second that goes by means baby is that much closer. he'll come eventually, right?
oh and the nesting? it's gotten ridic. today i resorted to washing loads of extra sheets & wiping down every glass surface/mirror in our house. i was cleaning MIRRORS, people! who does that? ok, you're probably saying, "everyone does that, amy." but for me? it means i've gotten real desperate in my search of things to clean. because usually i'm doing good to just keep up on laundry & dishes.
welp, that's really all i have to say about that. i know baby will be here before we know it & our world will be turned upside down. these last few days will soon be a distant memory & i'll hardly remember what it was like to be forty weeks pregnant & barely able to breathe {seriously, is he directly ON my lungs?!}. i'll wonder how i ever thought my days were full with just one kiddo & juggling two will become the new norm. can't wait.
i'll keep ya posted.
{if ya want the soonest of labor/baby updates, be sure to like the blog facebook page or follow my instagram feed. updates will be there first!}
Hang in there Amy!! Keeping you in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI've been visiting your site a billion times a day looking for news! LOL! I can tell you are anxious too, by the amount of posting. Can't wait for your moment to arrive, eep!
ReplyDeleteJemma was born at 39 weeks and this Friday I'll be 40 weeks with baby boy - I'm right there with ya ... never been this pregnant before! Just goes to show that every baby is different, I guess.
ReplyDeleteomg...looking forward to hearing about the arrival of the new one soon!!
ReplyDeleteYou are just too gorgeous. That sweet boy will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteHe will be here so soon, but I know I'd be going crazy too. I was induced at 38w2d with Ry, and honestly I'm not sure I ever want to know how it feels to be much more pregnant than that. I mean, I could have used an hour or so to prep my stuff, as opposed to rushing into the hospital, but that was enough. So you are a rockstar in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAnd you look beautiful. I know pregnancy might not feel all that great some days, but it sure looks great on you :).
And you still look so adorable! Maybe he's waiting for his due date to appear? Although I may have to have a little talk with him, since today is THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER! ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't want to worry you but just wanted to give you the heads up....Jordyn was 2 days early & Jeylin was 3 days late....could it be a Nielson family trend???
ReplyDeleteHe does have to come out eventually! I was three and a half weeks early with number one, and gave birth to number two exactly 12 hours after his due date.
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing! my goodness girl! i was two days early with rawley so i wonder how long...or short i will be pregnant with this other little guy. so excited for your new dude! i keep checking instagram thinking we will see you in the car on your way to the hospital!
ReplyDeleteWell the good news is that, yes, he WILL BE HERE SOON!! There's no getting around that. Bad news?? The waiting part. So sorry friend. Sending labor dusties your way!! xxoxo
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you look gorgeous ;)
ReplyDeletehang in there momma!!! thinking about you! <3
ReplyDeletei feel ya lady. not right now, obv, but when P was a week late I was ready to reach in there and get her lol
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm looking forward to a play by play on instagram while you're in labor. I expect nothing less. :)
ReplyDeleteWill came a month early, so I really don't know how you feel right now, but hang in there!! You look amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous! Cant wait to see the new addition, but in the mean time, keep your feet up and enjoy Parker cuddles!
ReplyDeleteOh girly, I'm sorry. I hope you are not too uncomfortable. I'd love to have you come over while you are in your nesting stage and clean my house though ;o) You are still lookin' great! Can't wait to read a post title telling us you're in labor!
ReplyDeleteOh man -- you wrote the post exactly where I am today -- one day before my due date! Have you forgotten how miserable it is to be 40 weeks' pregnant yet? Because I'm hoping right now will be a distant memory someday too!
