Patiently waiting...

39 Weeks down, 1 to go...

I certainly hope she doesn't make us wait another week, but I suppose it is a good thing she is still growing.  I hope she doesn't get too chunky this week :) 

After my doctor appointment Thursday I felt better about the hubs being in Texas for the weekend. Doc said no progress from the week before which was basically nothing at that point too! My mom and sisters came to stay for the weekend just in case something were to happen while he was gone but baby girl isstill just hanging out so thankfully I didnt have to worry about rushing Patrick home. I was bummed to miss Jordan and Bethany's wedding though. Patrick had a blast of course. Some day I will get to experience the Austin life! It was nice to get to hang with my family. We went to Applebees on Friday, my favorite. Patrick doesnt care for it so I always drag whoever I can there whenever I can.The fiesta lime chicken might be my pregnancy craving but I could probably eat it every day. So Good!  Then yesterday we went to Wal Mart and then watched the cats dominate yet again! We stayed in for the rest of the weekend. It was very relaxing and definitely needed before a hectic week ahead. We have a lot going on this week at school with their music program, Halloween, and celebrations of grades and no tardies. I guess it might be a good thing I am there for the craziness...we shall see what this week brings. All I do know is if little miss is not here by Friday, we decide when she will be :)

Have a happy Halloween and be safe!

Nursery...check!

Well we finally got the nursery all finished, crib and everything!  My parents came to visit Saturday and brought the crib, a dresser, and a glider.  She already had a dresser FULL of clothes (a bit spoiled) and a cubicle bookshelf.  After putting the crib together, we realized it was WAY bigger than we first thought so we had to rearrange a bit so things are a big snug.  It works perfect for now so we can't complain! It is nice to have that finished and make things seem even more real! :)

 

My coworkers threw me a baby shower Wednesday and they got us the bedding for the crib and these adorable diaper rag/burp cloths with her name on them! Absolutely love them! Very blessed to have such great friends and people I work with! Makes my job even more enjoyable!

Now that we have the nursery ready we are both even more anxious for her to arrive :) I had conferences this past week so needed, well wanted, her to wait until they were over. Now they are done so any time youre ready little miss, we are too! Patrick is planning on going to one if his best friends weddings this coming weekend in Texas, so now we hope she comes before he has to leave or waits until after. If she comes around that time he is supposed to leave he will of course stay but after my last doc appt, I think its going to be a week or so until she comes. she will be here when she is ready. It will all work out!
I had a 3 day weekend with conferences last weekend so that was extremely nice to have a day to relax!! Saturday I ran some errands and then we had dinner and watched the Cats dominate with some friends. We went to The Page and I have never seen it so busy, it was intense! Pretty proud to be a wildcat fan! Can't wait to dress little miss up in her gear and cheer them on as well! Today w ill be another lazy day. Patrick went golfing but fantasy will be taking over here in a few hours ;)
Here is to another week of the waiting game!

Nesting...

Apparently I am going through the nesting stage because I have been on cleaning mode all day. We got a cubicle shelf for our wedding and had yet been put together so I insisted Patrick get that done :) We ended up putting it in her room since we dont have much more space in our living room. Then I rearranged Daylynns room so next weekend when my parents come with her crib all we will need to do is set it up! We are realizing the room is going to be rather comfy once we get her crib and the rocker in there, but it will be perfect! I washed her bottle and got those ready. I set up her swing, so she will be ready to be rocked to sleep :) We will start out with her cradle in our room so I moved the bed a little so it will fit. I cleaned the fridge, kitchen, and bathroom! It has been a productive day in the McGurk household. We still need to clean our garage but I suppose that can wait another day ;) Also while cleaning, I found my computer charger! Patrick is happy he no longer has to share his. I mostly use my iPad anyways but at times need a real computer.

We have 4 weeks to go if we make it to our due date, but after the last few days, I have a feeling she will come early. Patrick will possibly be in Texas a week before she is due so let's hope she decides to wait or come before then! I'm pretty sure she is starting to get ready and I am kind of a baby when it comes to pain. Labor could be interesting to say the least. I started to pack her and I's hospital bags the other day. I got all the final necessities yesterday with my mom. I may be a bit behind but had been putting it off, now we are getting closer and I feel much better knowing that is finished and we will be ready to walk out the door. Thank you Vanessa for help on my list as well! (I hadn't thought of some of those things) I just hope she waits a few weeks, I've got parent teacher conferences starting next Monday, then whenever you're  ready little miss, we are too!
