Driving Miss Chamblee

28 days from today is my due date. August 15th. It still sounds so far away- August. We are hoping that she comes in about...2 weeks. This will allow me to work my last two weeks -get paid- and then have her right after that. I realize that I can't decide when she is ready, but this is our wishful thinking. I have had someone tell me they delivered @ 35 weeks, someone tell me they delivered @ 36 weeks, and a few people tell me they delivered @ 37 weeks. This freaks me out- it really could happen any day!!!

I hate surprises~ K knows this. He used to always surprise me while we were dating. Probably until I told him I hated them. Our honeymoon was a complete surprise to me- he planned all of it and didn't tell me where we were headed until we were walking out of the church as husband and wife. I allowed him to do this big fantastic honeymoon surprise as a grand finale. No more surprises. That's the thing- the whole surprise element of when she will come is killing me. Give me a date, and I'm good. Tell me to wait and see... not so stable.

In the meantime, we are constantly crossing things off of our to-do list. Last thing we checked off: Installing the car seat:

Here's K getting started on the install...

Making sure it's level and tight...

Wah Lah! The cutest little car seat.

I'm ready to drive her around! I am not a very cautious driver, and especially not a patient one. I am sure that will change when I have a little one in the back- right? Right. I went by the local Fire Station today to have her car seat inspected but no one was there... Huh? What if there is a fire on a Sunday?! Weird. I thought maybe it was a volunteer station, but there were cars there. Oh well. Try again later.

I am not going to know what to do this week @ work. . . the last 4 weeks I have worked a max of four days a week, using up all of my vacation days before I leave. These final 2 weeks I am working ALL 5 DAYS! How horrible! Haha... they are going to be such long weeks! If I make it that long :) It's just so hard to be so uncomfortable, sitting at a desk in uncomfortable clothes, for 8 hours a day. Especially when you have already trained your replacement and have relatively nothing to do. Yike.

Well, we have started this hobby of netflix-ing shows and watching an entire season in a weekend. (Now that our traveling has been put on a solid hold.) This weekend: Dexter. Not really that good. But it is time for the next episode, so off I go.

Until Next Time,
