Well today is the first predicted day for me to have a baby, and it is 9:47 pm and I have made it through the wedding I wanted to attend without going into labor, so I don’t think it will be today. (Sorry Desi and Issac!)

Here are a few pictures from lately!

37 weeks

38 weeks (wow, it is sticking out there!)

38 weeks (and all dressed up for a wedding!)

Here I am with my sweet hubby!

And here is the “freshman four” as we were called at Columbus. Bryan’s wedding was very nice and it was good to see friends and catch up!

You know I like me some free stuff. (See previous Chick fil A post) so here are some opportunities to snag some free muchies over the next few days! Act quickly!!!

Tomorrow (Thursday, July 29th)  is Free Tea Day at McAlister’s Deli. Click here for info.

Tomorrow (Thursday, July 29th) is also National Lasagne Day at Spaghetti Warehouse, but you have to sign up to get their emails here. Then you get their lasagna for $4.99. It is also National Lasagne Day at Buca di Beppo (there is one in the Woodlands and also some in Dallas and Austin) (so that makes me think the two companies are related) and you get a free lasagna there when you order another entree. Click here for info. (Thanks hubby for that tip!)

Friday July 30th is National Cheesecake Day at The Cheesecake Factory and you get any slice for half price. (There is some thing about $1.50 slices tomorrow on Thursday July 29th if you are a facebook fan or something, I don’t really know…) Click here for info. (Thanks Leanna for the tip!)

Tuesday August 3rd from 5-8 pm Whataburger is giving a free whataburger to anyone wearing orange, dine in only. Click here for info.

So go get yourself some free food and stay out of the hot kitchen!

Today we used our “registry completion” 10% off coupons and gift cards at Target and Babies R Us. So fun!!! We had lots of coupons to use at BRU too and so we saved a good bit! And didn’t spend a dime of our own money! Sweet!! Thank you so much to all our wonderful friends and family who have blessed us with gifts for a sweet little girl! We love you all!!

Then I came home and later unpackaged it all and put it away and made a big pile of stuff to wash.

And I just finished making a list of things to pack from the hospital. About half of the stuff is already gathered up and in a bag and I need to work on the rest of it.  I compiled what I had in a few books and what I had found on a few websites and made sure to include the suggestions of you guys! Most lists had some of the same things on them. I hope I don’t end up with too big of bags!!

I went to the doctor yesterday and she said I probably won’t make it to my due date, so ha to all you people who picked dates after the 11th! My doctor is going out of state the weekend of the 31st and we have plans to attend a wedding that day, so I am sure that will be when she decides to come! Desi would be right on her guess if that is the case and then she would share a birthday with her friend Issac and also Trina, a friend from HS and college. I think the date that got the most votes was August 4th. I think it would be neat if she was born on August 3rd, since that is my half birthday. We shall see….

I forgot to blog about this when it happened, but right before we found out what the gender of our baby is, I had my students guess what they thought. I left school on a Friday to go to the doctor, and told my students that on Monday they should either wear pink or blue to vote for what they thought I was having.

And here are some of the voting classes:

I don’t remember which got the most votes, but it was fun!

A question to all you moms out there:

What should I pack in my hospital bag??? (and don’t forget to vote on when you think baby girl will be born on the previous post!)

Well I had another great shower this weekend. Here is one great picture and I will do a post with more about it later

Now its your turn to particpate! Leave a comment and guess which day our baby girl will be born! Her official due date is either August 11 or 13, the doctor has said both at different times. I am saying her due date is August 11th. I go to the doctor on Thursday and she will tell me how big she thinks the baby is and all that fun stuff.

Now leave a comment and make your guess!

I have about 4 full weeks until the week that has my due date in it.

Here are some things I want/need to do:

-hang out with friends more!!

-finish sewing a nursing cover or 3, at least until my supply of fabric runs out. I made some a few summers ago and still have supplies to make some. So I want to make a couple to give away and then go pick myself out some really fun fabric from Hobby Lobby and make myself one.

-work towards/finish sewing the T-shirt quilt I started last summer. I cut out the shirts and layed out the placement and then got as far as sewing the first row. I need to cut all the rest of the middle pieces and sew the rest of it up! Recognize any of these shirts?

-launder the baby bedding and some newborn clothes. I put it on the crib already because I couldn’t resist seeing how it looked! But now I need to take it off and wash it! (Post with nursery pictures coming soon)

-use a gift card for Movie Tavern and have a meal with my movie

-use a gift card and eat cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory

-do more Kegels

-put the rest of our CD collection on the computer and into iTunes so we can listen to it more easily!

-go swimming a few more times. Here we were on our way back from the pool at our condo in Destin. It was a nice pool! Not too deep with some shade! (I like to be able to touch bottom when I swim!) (Those flowers in the back smelled HEAVENLY!!)

What do you recommend I do in my last few weeks before I have a small child to be responsible for????
