Morning. Well we are still waiting. I had some interesting pains yesterday, but they went away about lunch time and nothing else happened after that.
Yesterday was pretty good. I put Delores in a cute Valentine's day outfit and put a bow in her hair that she kept in long enough just to get a picture. She was a live wire yesterday, but she was fun. I made Valentine's day cookies for my lovelies. It was my first attempt to make cookies, and I made them out of a box, so they didn't turn out like I had hoped. But they served their purpose. I decorated them and Josh thought it was very sweet that I was able to surprise him with something when we decided we would do Valentine's day.
My mom came by and gave Delores a little beanie baby Valentine dog that she really liked. As soon as she saw it she barked at it. Lol, so funny. She got two cards too and a little money for her piggy bank. She gave Josh and I a very sweet and heartfelt card too that we opened together when Josh got home around 7:30.
Poor Josh. Yesterday they laid off a guy, which put him on call on Monday nights by himself. This meant that any call they got at all last night he had to run. He ran hard until around 12:00 and then thankfully he didn't get anymore calls. He is still exhausted this morning because he ran non stop all day yesterday to make up for the one less person to share the load. Crazy.
Today, should be an ordinary day. I have no appointments. My brother may stop by to use my computer to fill out an application, but I have no other visitors planned today. I have noticed that I think I like being overdue a little. I wake up disappointed, but as the day goes on I become more optimistic and have more energy and excitement to carry me through the day. Yes I would like to get this over with and have our baby, but it is nice knowing that we are so close and it could really be any day. My estimate all along has been the 16th. Based on my last missed period and not my conception date (which was the 13th), so we will see. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. My ultrasounds dated the 18th so we could go to Friday and it would be fine. But then I could go over those due dates. Lol, you just never know. But everyday that passes I know I am one day closer.
Well I gotta get Delores up. She got up about an hour early today, but she's in her bed talking away. Her patience is wearing thin. Have a good Tuesday!

1 day overdue.
Morning! Happy Valentine's day all you love birds! Well, we still don't have a baby yet. I am a little discouraged, but I am hanging in there. I just hope she's okay in there and that she isn't gonna hit a huge growth spurt right before she's born and be a 9 pounder, but if she is. There really is nothing I can do about it. I'll just have to push her on out and get over it.
Yesterday was pretty good. We went to church and it was a good message. All though I can't really remember much of it because I was distracted by an annoyingly loud off-beat clapper in the pew in front of us. I understand, she couldn't help it, but she was so loud. My ears actually hurt from her clapping. It just set the wrong tone for the whole service. I did the best I could to pay attention and learn but I couldn't stop staring at her wondering "why?" Oh well. After that we did lunch at Mutts. It was good, but Delores was restless and needed a nap, so as soon as we were done eating I left and brought her home for a nap. She slept till 3:15 and woke up in a very bad mood. That molar is really giving her problems. She just cried for 30 mins in my arms. Poor girl. She was still pretty weepy so we came in the living room and watched Baby Einstein. That cheered her up a little and we played for a while. Then it was dinner time and bedtime, and just like that, the day was over.
She did the cutest thing yesterday though. She got a hold of Josh's (hideous) necklace (I wish he would get rid of that thing, lol) and wore it around and wouldn't take it off until she was in the nursery at church. It was really cute. At one point she was also carrying around Josh's phone and she looked like a little teenager; Texting with her glamor necklace on, too busy to give us the time of day. Lol, adorable. I've been thinking of posting another blog to the babies to tell them what cute things they did during the day. I hate that one day I will forget all the adorable things they do everyday and never be able to let them know. We will see. It isn't like I have a whole lot of time to do it, but I could try. We will see.
Oh I also realized another annoying thing about pregnancy yesterday. Like when people say "wow you're huge," or "you look like you are about to pop." It's "you haven't had that baby yet?" Umm do you see a baby? I know that's mean, but I'm frustrated and disappointed she's not here yet, so why joke about that?
Anyway, Josh and I got to spend a good bit of time together yesterday. He got to go to church and lunch and then he had a call. He came home when Delores was sleeping and had to go again before she got up. He got home for dinner and didn't get called out again until 11:00 PM I think. We got to spend some good time together. I was very thankful for that. He is still on call tonight, but tomorrow things will go back to "normal."
Today should be a pretty normal day. We already did our Valentine's day so we don't have any plans. We are also not exchanging gifts. Mainly because I can't think of anything to get Josh and we are short on cash right now. I am going to try to make cookies for Delores and Josh today if I have time. Just as a little something, but that will be it. I've mentioned before that I don't cook when Josh is on call because he normally isn't here to eat it, so it will be left overs and cookies tonight. One highlight of today is that the new Disney Junior aired today, so Delores and I will have new shows and stuff to watch. Lol, that's when you know you are a mom; when the highlight of your day is the airing of a new kids shows.
Have a good Monday everyone! Send waves of birth encouragement my way.
