40 weeks & Eyeball Rattle

40 weeks and no baby.

We took this picture on the way into the clinic this morning... it'll be the last visit (I am hoping, praying, and doing all the other things to make contractions begin).

I am holing up in my house from now until the baby comes. I just can't take the questions anymore, and the advise on what everyone else did to make labor start. I can see the pitty in peoples eyes and it makes me anxious because I am already built that way!

If baby isn't out by the 10th we'll induce.



In the meanwhile, I finished Little Dub's Eyeball Baby Rattle!

In my weird twisted way, I think it's pretty darn cool! I couldn't figure out a way to put on muscle attachments from the eyeball to the optic nerve... without making a choking hazard.

The Cultivator's* best friend and wife have sent gifts that arrived yesterday... very, very cool! Onsies, receiving blankets (never enough, or so I hear) a first aid/health kit for babies and and a DadGear diaper bag which is REALLY AWESOME! I didn't think we'd actually get one! My sister got me a Jeep diaper bag which is really great, but after a few weeks I noticed the lack of pockets on the inside makes my organization worthless... so I bought a 'Roll-n-Go diaper bag organizer' online today (http://www.lafbrand.com/ro.html) which you can convert any bag into a diaper bag, but I just want it for my Jeep bag. Chances that I'll carry more crap than he will is pretty inevitable!

WOW!! I have known you for a mighty long time and have seen you in several conditions but...a baby bump?! Brings tears to my eyes. I like this look on you. ;0) I will never ever ask you another baby question, I promise. Good luck with it all and good times for you, Gerry and the little one. I can't wait to meet him or her. Best of luck Catherine. I miss and love ya!
