Hi, I'm still alive;)

For those who are wondering if I had Caylee yet, the answer is NO=) I went on a maternity leave from Olive garden almost 3 weeks ago and I have been unpacking and organizing this new place we had moved into. I also have been running all over town trying to get the baby's room all ready before Caylee arrives. I guess you can say that I've been nesting... I will post a picture of the baby's room soon!

I've also had my 25th b-day yesterday. Brad managed to get the day off and we were able to spend all day together. It was really nice. We went to Red Lobster for lunch, watched a few movies that we've rented from Blockbuster, ate junk, and went to El Torito for dinner. We also managed to go to Wal-Mart and literally spent like 1.5 hours digging into this 2 for $10 movie bin. It was piled up really high, but we went through all of the dvds and stacked all neat for them. There was another stack, but I told Brad that we had to stop because I was getting sick and thirsty... Anyways, we got "National Security", "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, "For Love of The Game", and "XXX" all for $20!

Back to the baby stuff I was talking about... The baby's head is still in position and the health of the baby is well. I am now waiting for the water to break. I wake up everyday hoping that it won't break when I am in public, since I've been out doing stuff. Lately, I have been worrying about how this baby is going to come out of me. I'm kind of freaked out about the whole process I'm going to have to go through. Sometimes, I find myself just wanting to cry...=( Well, there is no turning back, right? I will be 39 weeks this week. Wow, can't believe it! Pretty soon, you'll not just see pictures of me and Brad, but Caylee as well... Wish me luck for a good delivery;)

Happy Birthday Reiko! I hope you had a great day! I can't believe you have less than 2 weeks. Yay! I can't wait to see baby Caylee! I went to the doctor today and I was hoping they were going to tell me that I was a little dialated but I'm not,the baby's head is in position though. Just wait you all of sudden you will be dialated and ready to go! I wish you luck. You will do great! Just think of all the women that have delivered babies before us and they were all fine and they keep having babies. Keep us updated.

Happy birthday! And as far as having the baby goes... you're going to do great. I highly recommend the epidural, though. :-) But honestly, I'd rather go through 20 hours of labor than nine months of pregnancy. Being pregnant is far more torturous, in my opinion. So the hard part's almost over! Good luck!!!

Happy Birthday! I was terrified of labor too! But the epidural was a life saver! Go for the epidural and it'll be a walk in the park! So long as everything else goes okay! Good luck! I am excited to see pictures of Caylee. You and Brad are going to be amazing parents! I'll be home in June and hopefully I can come and see your cute little one while I am home! Good luck! 11 days left!

That is so funny, I didn't realize your birthday would be so close to Caylee's. That is EXACTLY how Kaiden and I are!! He was born a couple weeks after my 25th birthday too!! :} Funny coincidence. :} I told everyone all I wanted for my birthday was to be able to hold my baby in my arms... not my tummy any more. It didn't happen, but he came out eventually. :}
