Tacky Christmas and Nursery Pics

Juliet and I are still sharing the same body. The full moon effect is an old wife's tale...I'm proof of that. Today's appointment: Juliet has dropped and I'm another centimeter dilated, a total of 3. Even though she has dropped, indigestion is SO bad. I have little space for my stomach, meals are getting much smaller. She hurts when she moves. I've told her multiple times that it is not necessary for her to be cramped up; come on OUT! I now get the "you're still here?" "bless your heart" "are you miserable?" quite often. For the first time since the pregnancy, I am emotional. I'm tired of waiting, not only for Juliet, but about how our life will function, insurance, jobs and health. Today in WalMart a sweet, large woman that reminded me of Mamie in Gone With The Wind, gave me the sweetest, sincere look. I thought, "if she gave me a hug, I would burst into tears."

Here I am at 38 weeks.

Justin and I went to a Tacky Sweater Christmas Party friends from church hosted this past weekend. Justin was excited about participating and went to a thrift store in town and purchased outfits for both of us. He was kind enough to find me a holly turtle neck and snowman sweater. I didn't wear the turtle neck...I would have died of heat! I know I'm looking super good already, so a super bad outfit would have made me look that much worse. Justin took the early 80's route. He busted out some poly pants and white shirt AND a Christmas tie. He actually didn't look tacky. But the closer you got to him, the more you realized just how out of style he really was. The green sweater was a borrowed item...we didn't tell what it was for other than a Christmas Party.

I think I look like a snowman...lol.

Back at my Storybook shower at the first of November, Mama, Daddy and Leigh gave me a big surprise, a glider chair and ottoman. It came in this past weekend and was ready for pick up. I was really nervous about the color and how it would go with the walls, bedding and curtains, but everything is blending.

Here I am practicing with baby.

Justin testing out the chair.

Leigh practicing her cooing.

Juliet's diaper bag is ready for action.
