Son of a biscuit!! 8 days to go.. absolutely no freaking signs of progress. Unless you count everyone commenting that I've become a cone instead of a bump. What does that means??? I have no freaking clue. All I know is the doctor said this kid isn't arriving anytime soon. I'm still hoping she's wrong. Then again.. I still need to pack a hospital bag, a bag for little man to go to the sitter with, um.. and just about everything else you should do to get ready for a kid. So I have all weekend to prepare.. and nap. I will try to nap second.

Today is the last day that I can go to the gym without renewing a membership I won't use for a while. It isn't necessarily a bad thing. This will force me to use the elliptical, treadmill, bike, resistance bands, free weights... etc that I bought for the house thinking that if I had these things at home available to me whenever that I would well.. workout more. I'm going to have to remember to pick up some dusting supplies on the way home. If I try to workout on them now I won't be able to breath due to the giant clouds of dust they will produce. Depending on how I feel at lunchtime I may run to the store instead and get hospital bag type things and try to workout tonight at home.. as I dust and roll around on an exercise ball in an attempt to get things moving. Not that I'm impatient or anything.. I just want my bladder back. Then again.. I know me and I'm cheap and wanting to get my $10 worth will have me on the elliptical bouncing around. Maybe I should pay myself for using the equipment at home then I would want to get my moneys worth there too.

Good news is baby is healthy, weight is creeping back down to 202.7 so it was probably just something I ate, and blood pressure was 120/80. Even after she told me there was no progress.. And after the girl in the waiting room who was just as far along as me was bragging to her mom she doesn't have any stretch marks. I didn't throat punch her... I wanted to. But I didn't. Mostly because her mom quickly said "Wow I thought you would since you have them all over your thighs!"
