FINALLY!

And no, unfortunately my post's title has nothing to do with the baby! She is just way too comfy in there. I've still had hardly any contractions. I am officially 40 weeks pregnant today and my official due date is tomorrow. (not sure why those don't coincide, but...) Crazy. This has been my longest pregnancy!

No, the "Finally!" title has to do with how long it took to get my computer back. I just got it back tonight! It was a nasty, nasty virus. They (at Staples) were confident they could remove it. Well, long story short, they did finally get the virus off and then had to backup my files and restore the computer back to factory settings because there was so much damage to Windows files, drivers, etc.

I knew they'd be able to save the files in "My Documents" but thought I'd have to re-install all of my programs. When I got the computer all turned on, all of the programs *appear* to be there, but I'm finding a lot of them aren't working properly and I'm probably going to have to reinstall a lot of them. But that's better than having to reinstall ALL of them!

The biggest bummer is having to reinstall Incredimail. I lost ALL of my email address. So if you & I have contacted each other via email, please email me even if it's blank so I can get you added back into my address book.

As for the pregnancy, like I said, this girlie is just too comfy. Maybe she's afraid of all of the craziness she hears about her and just feels safer in my womb? Whatever the reason, I wouldn't be surprised if she hangs out in there for another week!

And honestly, I really wanted to get this computer thing DONE before she got here. AND the children's dressers finally arrived YESTERDAY (a week late) and I spent my whole day going through all of their clothes, sorting them into bins labeled by size & gender and got all of their clothes transferred to the new dressers. I slept SO good last night after that! So after I get this computer thing DONE I will be very ready for her. :)

I have an appointment with the midwife tomorrow. I do have some concerns about being late that I want to discuss with her and then, guess where I'm going? To a spa type place for a "Hydrolicious Foot and Leg Therapy". Doesn't that sound lovely? It's geared for pregnant women with swollen legs and feet. Can't wait!

Thanks for all of your comments & checking up on me. Made me smile. :) I can be better about updating now!

Well ya know, my first 2 were both born at 40 weeks + 6 days, so I've been there, done that. Neither of them had ANY complications with being past due, other than Samuel getting too big for me to successfully deliver ******lly. (of course, his delivery was rough in addition to his giant baby size!) We induced 2.5 weeks early w/ Sarah.

Anyway, I'll be crossing my fingers that little Miss Pretty comes soon!

I was worried that while your computer was on the fritz you had the baby and couldn't post pictures!!!

:)

Glad things are going good. Looking forward to the big news!!

I'm so glad you got your puter up and running! What a relief. And the dresser organization project sounds awesome to have done ahead of her arrival. Maybe once you're all up and running with computer things your body will give you the go ahead to have her. They say if you're waiting for anything sometimes the body just patiently follows. Who knows??! How weird this must be for you to have a 40-weeker. I"ll be interested to hear if the delivery/post-partum thing is different with her being later.( I'll bet it'll be your best yet!) I was a week late with Kate and I kept telling *my* body, "I'm ready already!!" :) Oh, and the leg/foot therapy thing...ahhhh..sounds marvelous. Good for you!

Jul. 3, 2008 - Baby Is Coming Soon

Posted by basketflat
I'm sure your baby will come soon, if she hasn't come yet! You've had a good track record, so I'm sure everything will be just fine. They say your "due date" is just an estimated time of arrival, anyhow.

My first two I had induced at two weeks late. My third they did a c-section. But, that's how my body works. I think I would have gone three weeks late on all of them if left to my body - which maybe things would have worked out best if left to that.

Anyhow, I keep checking on you. My baby is eight months now and it's just so amazing how quickly they develop. I do miss the little baby stage, but look forward to her standing and walking and playing. God is gracious to give us these joys.
