Yup, still pregnant! Good stuff, eh? The good news is that I am pretty much caught up on my scrapping, or as caught up as I can be right now. I am way behind on my journaling but that is easier to do than cutting pictures and titles and being creative (since I can usually just copy & paste from the blog for the stories that go with my pictures in the scrapbooks).
I can’t believe that tomorrow is the day we find out more about how Arlo is doing. When I left the doctor on Monday, Thursday seemed FOREVER …

39w4d Baby Arlo Update
STATUS: Still pregnant.
* * *
Cooper and his impeccable timing decided to start limping yesterday so I called the vet to try to get him an appointment for today and they were totally booked. But they said I could drop him off with them for the day and they’d get to him when they could. Not really ideal seeing as how he’s already so anxious about the bags being packed by the door and the baby stuff that is invading but we didn’t have a choice. I was afraid that we wouldn’t get it taken care of and then he’d end …
39w3d Update
Still pregnant.
But there is an end in sight. For reals this time.
I had my weekly NST this morning and saw Dr B after. Baby looked fine on the monitors but my amniotic fluid levels dropped dramatically from last week. It is still in the normal range so Dr B thinks maybe I did more activity this weekend (um, not really) or didn’t drink much water as I should so she wants to check it again on Thursday. I am to head to Triage if at any time I feel the baby isn’t moving as much as “normal”. She …
Mom & Mallory Photo Shoot
Rick took some pictures of Mallory & me this weekend…here are my favorites of the 105 we took! I think I’m going to get the bottom two blown up for my bedroom. And I love the top right one too. And the top left one where she is trying to button my shirt up.
More funnies
Mallory went poop in her diaper. I told her to tell Rick about her poopy diaper. She took a few steps towards the kitchen (where Rick was) and turned around and said “I went poopy, Daddy. See?”
* * *
Cooper was hanging out near us and Mallory said “ARGH!”.
I asked what she was yelling about and she said “Argh. Cooper is bugging me”.
No idea where she’s learned that.
Park it, Mommy
Need to get these down before I forget them.
Someone (probably me?) has said “Park it, sister” at least once to Mallory when we want her to get on the floor so we can change her diaper. Now, when she grabs a diaper from the drawer, she’ll tell me “Park it, mommy”.
Someone (again, probably me?) has said “Oh man!” at least once to Mallory whenever she takes a big bite of food. Now, when she takes a big bite she says “Say ‘Oh man’ at me, mommy!”.
This leads me to my next story…she confuses her prepositions all the …
39 weeks. Still pregnant.
Well, here is the Triage story from Thursday night.
I’d noticed that my stomach was super tight most of the day on Thursday. It felt like I had been sucking in my stomach all day and it was just tired. And when I was up and walking around, it felt like I had 100 lbs of weight hanging from the front of my belly. So at 10.30p at night, I decided to call Triage and see what they had to say.
They guessed all was well but I think the combination of being 39w and me being almost 39 years …
Ditto Wednesday's Post
See Wednesday’s post for my status.
I did have a trip to Triage last night but will post about that later.
Still here…
I don’t have anything to report but figured that all of my fans would think I was in labor if I didn’t post something…so here is the official “I’m still pregnant” post.
Thinking Out Loud
Not sure if “thinking out loud” is the right terminology since blogging isn’t really “out loud” but whatever.
I’m sitting here scrapbooking but I’m finding it hard to concentrate with the acrobatics going on in my stomach. It is amazing that there is a little baby in there. A little baby that we will meet sometime in the next couple of weeks.
I know I keep saying that I’m fine with this weekend or even next week, as long as I’m not late, and I’m telling the truth. But the crazy thing is that for as much as I say …
