Just writing that sentence above is jinxing me to be a week or two overdue. But oh well, I'm too excited to not post it!
I somehow planned this baby's due date (a.k.a. got insanely lucky) to where our due date is literally the day before we're supposed to come back from winter shut down. Winter shut down is from Dec 24th to Jan 4th. Shut down = free vacation. It's pretty much the greatest time of year EVER!!
My vacation is going to roll while I'm on maternity leave so I had two days to "use or lose." So the moral of the story is yesterday was my last day of work. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regarding the jinxing, this could all be ridiculously wrong if I haven't had this baby by Jan 4th and have to go into work. Let's not even go there... :)
So - do you hear this, farmbaby? Now would be a GREAT TIME for you to come out and let me take care of you!! I'm home anyway! I promise! There will be no spreadsheets or "Isna(match(" or "If, then"or "If(iserror("statements. It's quite possible the last few months or original budget and the start of the new fiscal year have scared him into hibernation.
Anyway, as far as he and I go, still livin' large, livin' large. Still "carrying the watermelon..."
My ankles, feet and lower legs have developed a mind of their own and turned into camels. I mean why do they want to hold all of this water!?!?
I can press on my shin and the dent will stay for over five minutes. It's pretty sexy. Not!!!!!!! Also, all of my maternity shirts that used to be LONG are now short and want to creep up. Ew! Not a good look!! Ha.
I am just overjoyed we made it to full-term and he appears to be happy and healthy, even if he's committed himself to apartment living for now! He'll soon leave the cramped life behind find out the joys of farmlife and be riding in the tractors with Daddy.
It looks like we're about to get a few days of really nasty weather, including some ice storms. Generally, this isn't a good sign for a preggo farm wife who really wants to delivery a baby IN THE HOSPITAL. :) However, I'm still feeling pretty good and don't have any signs of early labor despite the 5,000 times I google "early signs of labor," and wish the signs upon myself. I think I'll do this again now...JUST IN CASE I overlooked any symptoms I have. LOL!
Oh and I've been meaning to post a name update!! Jake is still the winner via blog and via household. Thanks for voting!! However, my "Darling Husband" is refusing to fully commit to this name. Why? I don't know... He continues to say, "Jake's a good name..." In my opinion, we should probably decide on this one (or another one) so we can pick a middle name. :) Of course, I do realize I'm not the only parent of farmbaby so I'm exercising patience and finding my "ommm." lol. I am still trying to negotiate in Luke (I love Luke 100% and Jake 99.9%) to no avail. The other day I asked him what were my chances of him agreeing to the Luke. His answer, "Zero." Haha. I love him!! He's rarely so adamant about anything because he's soooo nice but he surely isn't breaking down on this one. So...I am sure it will be Baby Jake. Yay!!! As far as middle names go, T.B.D. (as soon as he commits to Jake, we'll have to work on this pronto). :)
Happy Holidays to All!!! I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas with their families and loved ones!
Many loves and hugs,
