This is what we are working with...

Ok i understand that i still have a few more weeks, so it is a little soon to be feeling this DONE being pregnant! And I am trying really hard to have a good/better attitude but this is what we are working with...

This stupid sciatic nerve is so bad! And it is magnified by the fact that I favor my left side (long time ago issue) So I do everything with my right side, which is the bad side! Lame. I have so much to do with Christmas and actually getting ready for the baby, i dont have time for this stuff. I went to the physical therapist and I am pretty sure that they just made it worse... but we will see.

All I do is sweat! Earth to california: '60 is not cold! There is no need for everyplace to blast there heat! Especially Dr Clayton. Really you have giant prego people in your office and it is blazing hot. Really.

Speaking of Dr. Clayton: Dear Dr. Clayton, I DO NOT need to have a 10 pound baby. Regardless of if i am having him vaginally or via C section. Sincerely Sheri. We had another ultra sound with the high risk doc last week and everything looks great! we are measuring 2 weeks in advance and weighing in at 6 1/2 pounds! Cool. Yesterday we had a check up with Dr Clayton and he finally acknowledged the fact that this baby is huge! I was hoping he would say that we would do the C section early but no, he just said, Good thing you are having a C section. NO I still have no desire to grow a 10 pound baby. I dont think that my back/body can handle it or stretch anymore! Well he went ahead and check my cervix because the baby is big and the Vandiver's have a tendency to go fast, I was dilated to a 5 with dex and had no idea, so i was hoping.... But nothing! I was very disappointed. When i left and called Matt to tell him the "No progress news" He just laughed, I hung up on him. I am so DONE.

Matt is taking all my complaining in stride, he really just laughs at me alot. I am not sure if that is helping or hurting the situation :) but I love him and am SO glad he is amazing!

On the plus side: We are actually feeling ready to meet this guy and for this next step! We have pretty much decided on his name: Quade. Middle name is still in the air we have it narrowed down to 2 options.

We have finished the bassinet. We sanded and re-painted it and I made the bedding. So now he has a place to sleep. Other then that we still have lots of organizing and cleaning to do. We made a deal with the lord, If we finish all the stuff we need to this week, then how about we have this baby next week? Dont you wish the gospel worked that way?

Dexter is the best kid ever! He is has no idea what is really going on, but i am so glad that he is a laid back kid! He always has been and i hope he stays that way! He is starting to really pick up on things. Matt always goes at him and wrestles with him and now dex will just start doing it when ever he wants to play. Unfortunately i cant play as hard has dad...

I can not wait to see him Christmas morning! All he will no is that he got lots of new toys but Matt and I cant wait to watch him!

Pictures to come!
