Keeping Busy...

Well I'm now 4 days overdue, but I'm trying not to think too much about it. Since my doctor's appointment on Friday, I have been trying to stay more busy and active. I have walked 2 miles everyday (so 4 days now), we've gone out to eat (we keep saying "this could be the last time" to justify ourselves), we've watched movies, I've gone to the store several times, I've been reading, I lounged in the sun yesterday because it was so warm (and got a slight tan, woohoo!), I've done laundry and cleaning (trying to keep everything nice so I'll be ready!) and last night we bought a new kitchen table! We, well I, had been looking online everyday at ksl.com classifieds because I really wanted a new kitchen table. Ours is great but it's quite small and it seems like we're always having people visit and I just thought a bigger table would be nice. I really liked those square ones, but wasn't sure how I felt about the counter height tables, and most of the square ones were counter height. Anyway, it seemed every good deal I found was going fast, so I knew I needed to jump on this one when I found it. It is normal height, has 8 chairs, and it can be a big square or it has a leaf that folds down and it can be a smaller rectangle. And we got it for $200! Woohoo! It has some wear and tear, but we're having kids now, and that's going to happen. I had always liked dark wood, but decided this was great and would hide scratches better than dark wood anyway. So here's our new (used) table!
It seems really sturdy and we really like it. Now we're going to try and sell our smaller one. I've put it up on ksl so we'll see if we get any takers. In the meantime it's in with the piano. :) Anyway, so that's what we've been up to. I was hoping that carrying it into the house with Jeremy last night would send me into labor, but nothing yet.

However, I did go to the doctor this morning and he said he really doesn't think I'll make it until Monday (my inducement day) and he's usually on the pessimistic side. I could have kissed him I was so happy! Even if he's wrong, it gives me hope and I was needing some of that. He informed me that the baby is super low (which I already knew) and that I'm super soft, whatever that means. Since I'm overdue, they also hooked me up to an external fetal monitor for about 15 minutes which was fun and it gave a little printout of the baby's heart beat. He said it was so perfect he could cut it out and stick it in a textbook. Yea! So baby is good and I'm trying to just have fun and stay busy. I informed Jeremy that I'm taking him out to lunch today, so that should be fun. Hopefully our next post will have some news! I've got a good feeling it's going to be soon.
