the Jeopardy theme song constantly

That is what I here in the background all the time now. I have decided that now that I am ready for Emma to be here she will take her sweet time. When I did not feel we had the house and other affairs in order the doc was saying she would be early. So we have jump with both feet into what seems to be the forever wait, possibly worse than the two week wait.

The whole thing sometimes still seems unreal. I can't believe this is really happening. I am so excited. It is like when someone tells you something really great and you just want to say STOP PLAYIN!! I didn't really just win a million dollars.

I think about her all the time. I go to sleep dreaming of Char calling me to say she has gone into labor. I started to wonder what Char would be like when she told me. She called from work and I asked her what she would do. Would she be completely hysterical or just be like "hey whatcha doin" "nothing, what are you doing?" "Not a lot just going in to labor" All cool like that. LOL

Who knows. She figures it will depend on how much pain she is in.

In other news. I have two more Saturdays of Becker classes left. WOO WOO. I am so tired of getting up at 5 on Saturdays only to drive two hours and sit in class for 8. Almost through Almost through.

Char's dad has taken to calling her at least 2 times a day to ask if we are proud parents yet??? What is up with that you say??? Well I guess he possibly believes when Emma graces us with her presence the phones will not dial out and we will not call anyone. I don't know. Char is pretty baffled by this question he asks EVERYDAY. We will call them...of course we will. No really we will. I am sure I will be calling everyone in my phone. I went through that funk the other day (hormones PMS call it what you want) BUT I WILL BE SHOUTING IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS.

Anyways. I have to get back to studying now while I can...Thank we are a primarily tax firm and I have time to study because home time will soon become a precious commodity I know.

I will exit with the theme song from Jeopardy.

boo dooo doo dooo, boo doo doo doo, boo doo doo doo, DO! da-do, do, do, do, dooo

Dream a little dream

As I laid down with Char for a nap this afternoon started to imagine how I would act if Char went into labor. Our neighbor said this last month really drags by. . . He was so right. I thought about who I would really call first. You know, you have all of these people that are like, "make sure you call us first." Why do they want to be called first? What makes them feel like they should be called first? Then I thought to my self..."self....who will you call first?" This may seem like a completely insane question to many of you...well probably to none of you because I a beginning to think no one out there reads my blog anymore. But most of you would probably say I know I would call my mom first or fill in the blank...Well I thought about it and I probably will call my mom first but the reason I even had to think about it was because NONE of our family lives near us. For just a bit I thought ...I will probably call my boss first to let him know I wont be there for the next two weeks at least. Because it will take my mom 4 hrs to get here and Char's parents 1.5 hrs. And how many friends do I really want crowding around up there? I almost want to call no one except my mom and her's and not tell anyone else and bottle those fleeting moments and take hold of them between just me and char and our beautiful child and not share them with anyone who may disappoint us or not hold them as special as we will. It is almost like the way I think of "having a threesome" I would never ever ever do that because those moments Charlene and I share together are to wonderful and precious I would never share that. Do I want to share these. Not that I don't want anyone at all there but this is about us me and char and our family growing. I don't know if I want to run down the hall every 15 mins and give updates. I just want to be with the wonderful amazing woman I love and experience this with her to the fullest extent of every moment.

Don't step into my conversation and think you know something because you have no idea! That is what I want to tell people sometime. You can get over whatever you chose to get over and just because you chose no to get over it doesn't mean that for the rest of your life you have the right to go around comparing everything that happens to everyone else to you and your life and feelings about what you will not get over. Shit just get over it already. For the rest of my life I don't want to hear about it whenever something happens in my life.

The neverending weekend project

So this weekend we sewed all of the stuff for the nursery. We made curtains, bumpers, crib skirt, and rocking chair cushion. It took us two entire days to do this and we worked pretty close to non stop.

Below is the before......beware you are looking into the eye of the storm......

Now the beautiful, peaceful after.....the calm before the (baby gets here storm) lol....

Also I refinished all of the furniture you see except the rocking chair and the crib...oh yeah the rocking chair is an andorandak (sp) rocking chair to go with our beach theme ... how cool.

AND........Char dropped Saturday.

BABY MAMMA UPDATE

So we just left the doctor and we are 34 wks and 5 days measuring 35 wks and 4 days. Emma is already 6 lbs. She is head down and faced to the back. Char is one fingertip dilated and the cervix is soft.

All this could mean we have a couple of weeks left and it could mean sooner or she could go to our due date (8/8/08...the start of the Olympics). Who knows. But it is all very interesting and exciting.

The ultrasound lady snuck us back again for another try because Emma had her hand in her face in most of the pics last time. Well because of the above mentioned position we had no luck this time either. Her face competed with two hands, knee and a foot strategically positioned as to not allow a clear view. She is keeping us in suspense for her big day.

We did however find that she has a full head of hair. About one centimeter's worth per the ultrasound lady.

This weekend we are getting everything ready...THANK GOODNESS.
