36 weeks

36 weeks and feeling every bit of it. Christmas was nice.. just very different & very quiet. We made the most of it though and even got a white Christmas! Lauren & Adam came on the 23rd and we went back to the outlets.. I had been there so much in 1 week the lady from motherhood maternity recognized me! We shopped for little Connor & then came back to the house, ate a good dinner, and exchanged presents between Delaney & Connor. She got some of the cutest outfits and a little fur vest! I cannot wait to dress that doll baby up ;) Christmas Eve we didnt do anything... and that night I made the traditional german.. it was OKAY.. def not as good as Moms or Omis & we opened their presents. Christmas Day we woke up and had eggs benedict and opened our stockings and presents from his parents. Shawn and I decided we werent going to exchange this year because there were so many other things we wanted. So while we were in Augusta for Thanksgiving we got a 32 in lcd tv for the bedroom, a shark mop, an upright freezer for the garage and then a few days ago once all the stores reopened due to the snow we bought a video camera and Shawn got a new laptop. Oh and we finshed EVERYTHING we needed for Miss Delaney. Now all we need is her & Lord am I READY!!!!!!! Yesterday I took my Dental Assistant National Board Exam.. and I PASSED! So now all thats left to do is relax and have her!
We went to the doctor this morning and everything is still looking good. She said my cervix is starting to thin out but not to expect to go into labor within the next few days (damn) & that at my 38th week appointment they will let me know whether or not they are gonna induce me at 39 weeks. Im still praying she just comes on her own and starting Monday Im gonna do every wives tale I know to get her to come... minus castor oil. So yall say a prayer!
