Corrina Corrina

I meant to write earlier, but i lost track of time. Today was a good day, i made my mother in laws famous macaroni and cheese. This is by far the best I have ever had in my entire life! Before I married my husband, i used to drool over this meal at church potlucks on saturday afternoons. I honestly thought she would never let me in on her family recipe and that i would forever spend my days combining random spices and cheeses to get close to the amazing taste of hers. I was wrong of course, because she is as sweet as they come, she wrote it all down for me. :)

Some flour, milk, butter, cheese,noodles, and 2 hrs later... I succeeded at making the worlds most delicious mac&cheese. I even threw in some cut up ball park hot dogs. My husband loves meat, so i knew he would appreciate it. We finished watching "Resident Evil 4" during dinner. We had started watching it the night before ( and although i am pretty disgusted by the attacking flesh eating zombies, i was being a good sport since my husband had just watched "the divine secrets of the yaya sisterhood" with me. Good man, i know.) When that was over, we had some ice cream for dessert and we watched one of my favorite movies.. Corrina Corrina. It is still one of my favorites til this day. :)

Random fact: I looked up the cast and found that the girl that plays Molly, is the same girl that plays Deb in Napoleon Dynamite! I thought that was pretty neat to know.

ANyway back to the fact that i STILL do not have a baby...

March 10 was her due date, but i am guessing she is loving her current residence. I hope she comes this weekend because my doctor is on call! I refuse to let the others schmuck deliver my baby!

Did I mention how incredibly wonderful my hubby is? He colored my hair today, gave me a few massages, and a pedicure. He is spoiling me rotten, so I plan on doing the same to him. Tomorrow I am going to make one of Bakerella's Cheesecakes. I made one 2 weeks ago and he loved it. I think he's ready for another one... and I'm sure I won't mind eating a piece... or two ;)

It's almost 4 am now, so i am going to try and sleep. Sweet Dreams! Hope the baby comes today!

Day Before the Big Day...

Today is Wednesday, the day that's supposed to be "the day before my due date." Unfortunately I am feeling pretty great today. I may sound like a masochist here, but when you're carrying around what seems to be the weight of the world on your bladder, you most definitely want to be in pain. Well, in labor pain, because that means soon enough your bladder will be relieved of that pressure and your baby is soon to arrive. I can only hope.

The doctor said i'm not dilated at all, just 50% effaced. I'm hoping I will be one of those who just dilates quickly. Who knows i may just have the " honey it's time" middle of the night water breaking experience. Highly doubtful though. Does that ever really happen? I have a friend who said her water broke when she was just sitting down watching tv, the day she was supposed to be induced. How lucky! She said the feeling was really cool, and kind of wished she could repeat it. LOL she is nuts!

I have been feeling some cramping today, so far it's not too bad. Probably because i'm not in real labor.

Anyway, i was supposed to be in class this morning ( today was field experience: we are pretty much submerged into a classroom and used as T.A.'s. Fine by me though, i get some experience and the kids are always so funny.) but when i was up all night with heartburn and my cramping began at around 3 am, i decided it would be best to stay home and rest. On top of that, my feet needed a break, have i mentioned they look like fat sausages? well they do, and it's not cute! So that is pretty much why i have stayed home today.

Anyway... again... because I am home this morning, i was able to spend some quality time with my television. Something that is nearly impossible for a full time student, so it was fun. I watched some Regis and Kelly ( so sad regis is leaving), The View, and The Doctors. An interesting story came up on the Doctors and I wanted to share it with you guys. Read on and tell me what you think!

The countdown

I haven't blogged in a really long time. Just looking back at some old posts ( the 3 in total that I have posted) I am just shocked at how much has changed in my life! Even my interests have changed, but one thing remains: I am still head over heels for Aaron. Only difference now, is that he is my husband :) Like the good ol' Beach Boys song says:
"Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close, the whole night through"

And it sure is nice :) So here are some updates: I'm married, still a student, and the most exciting news of all... we're expecting our first baby! She is actually due on thursday, but i'm thinking that i must have the world's most comfortable uterus ever, because she is still not here. I know, i said she isn't due until thursday ( today is tuesday) so she can't possibly be late ...yet. We will see though. If she is anything like my husband ... and myself, heehe, she will probably be late. I've come to the conclusion that i'm ok with that, after all you cannot rush perfection ;)


My husband reassures me a lot these days because i've spent the past two weeks worried about having to have a c-section. He is a wonderful husband, and i am beyond lucky. He puts up with my craziness and has the patience of Job. For this, his crown in heaven will be heavy with jewels! bless his heart!

K, back to this whole c-section fiasco: First off, I don't understand women who actually schedule c-sections (i'm not talking about those who have to have one because of medical reasons). I am talking about those who just decide it's safer? less painful? like i said, i don't understand. It is full on surgery(enough to scare me) and the recovery ( i've heard) is not fun at all. So you can imagine my fear when my doctor mentioned that i may have a narrow pelvis and may require a c-section. Well actually I had no clue what it meant at first, in fact when he tried to explain it, i became more confused. All i heard was c-section and i felt my eyes begin to water. This was a lot of news for me to take in, because like i mentioned, i am still a full time student. My teachers have been really understanding and are helping me work through the semester. The plan was to take off 3 weeks when the baby was born, and then I would finish off the semester. The last part of the semester is all classroom experience, full immersion from 7:30-3:30 everyday. So i knew that if i had a c-section, i would not be able to return for the semester. That would be that all my semesters work would go to waste... this is still a fear of mine, but as of today I am more at ease.

We got another ultrasound today, it estimated the baby's weight: 6pds 8oz. Give or take a pound is what they say though. Either way she is not a 9 pd baby ( my pelvis would probably just break, idk). I know that even though my worries may seem small to some people who have been there and experienced a much crazier time, but they are still my worries. God is in control and i am happy to remember that even though he created the heavens and the earth, he still takes interest in my "small" worries. For that I am thankful.

Phew! I clearly had a lot to say, If you actually had the patience to read this, bless your heart! I am excited to be a newbie blogger. Thanks to my dear friend Wabster, I am going to take this time to blog and record the many soon to come adventures with my baby girl!

K, i'm hungry now... bye bye!
Countdown... 2 days.
