My lower back is really hurting right now. I don't know if it's labor/baby related or just from sitting at my desk. I guess this could be a good sign. I think it's kind of funny when you start to get excited about feeling different or have pains in the last month of your pregnancy. I really wish I could go home and just lay down. Honestly, I don't even know why I am at work. I guess I am just killing time! It also doesn't help coming to work when everyday someone will ask me about being there. They just can't believe I am still here. I mean - I will go home if you want me to. It wouldn't bother me any.
Hmm...I picked up my rental car Tuesday after work. I don't really care for the car they gave me. I wish I had mine back. The car has this really funny smell. I don't if it's just my over sensitive nose or what, but it will not go away! It reminds me of a maw-maw's hairspray. It's soo strong and it makes you want to choke! It's also really boxy. I feel like I can't really see that good to get over and back out of places. My belly doesn't help much either, but I didn't seem to have problems in my car. I asked Chad yesterday if he thought they would give me a different car, because I really didn't like that one and he basically said no. I didn't even try calling to ask. Oh well...maybe I will have my car back Tuesday.

Olivia's Room
Her very own book.
& here is her coming home dress.**I didn't take any time in trying to make this post "pretty." I don't think it would've mattered anyway. I really need to read up on blogging tips or something!

Sitting on Ready
My doctor likes to use that phrase. Today I am 38 weeks 6 days. I am more than ready for Olivia to be here and not be pregnant anymore. Just in the past week my feet and ankles have started to swell and this morning I didn't think I was going to be able to wear any of my sandals. I was starting to get really frustrated and was contemplating not going to work. I mean it was already 8:30 and it takes me about 45 minutes to get there!
I think I have everything ready for Olivia's arrival, now only if she would come. The nursery looks really good! I am very happy with the way it has turned out. The letters I ordered came in last week and we put those up. At first I wasn't quit sure how it would turn out, since it was just me and Chad putting them up. It was mostly Chad. He did a really good job! I will try and take some pictures tonight to post, although my photography skills are nothing compared to Amanda and Megan's. : )
So...in the last few days of my pregnancy, there couldn't have been anything more annoying than my friend backing into my car...In Her DRIVEWAY!! It was exactly what I wanted to deal with! I really don't know what she was thinking. I guess she was thinking, because I was sitting in the back seat knowing that she was getting a little close to my car and started saying, "Don't hit my car, don't hit...." and then she hit it!!! Ugghhh....it was horrible. All I could do was just sit there. I didn't even want to look. She backed up right into the driver's side door and fender. I was surprised the door would even open. I wish it would've somehow just been totaled! It probably would have been a lot easier to just get a new car and that would've been nice!
So...this afternoon I am going to pick up a rental. It should only take a couple of days to fix my car - or at least I hope.

In a good mood
So...I am in a pretty good mood today. I hope I just didn't jinks myself by saying/typing that. I got to pay off a bill today!!! YaY!!! It's not a huge bill, but it's still a monthly bill we (really Chad) owed. This weekend we sold one of his four wheelers, paid it off and made a little bit of money too!! I don't think Chad really wanted to sell it, because I was the one who really sold it, but he did anyway. He still has another one (that is paid for) and he rode it the most anyway. So now we have one less payment and a little extra money each month! It feels good to actually pay stuff off! Now...we just have to pay our cars off and our house...yeah right!! :D I don't think we will ever not have a mortgage payment. That would be REALLY nice though.
In other news - I had a doctor's appointment this morning AND he "checked" me today. I also had to take the Group B Strep test - which is just a culture from "down there". I was wondering when it would happen. I wasn't sure if it would be this visit or my next. I was semi-prepared but not really. I always like to have a warning of what he will do next time and I didn't have one. Oh well...it wasn't too bad, but it didn't feel nice either! So...I am 1 centimeter dilated and he said the she is defiantly head down or in his words, "There's her noggin." So now I will go to the doctor weekly. I have to admit I am already getting nervous. I mean it really could be any day. I hope she doesn't decide to stay in there forever. I really don't want to go over 40 weeks. Let's all pray that Olivia cooperates and makes a semi-early entrance. Maybe she will be ready a little early...there's not a lot of room in there!

Let's Give Them Something to Talk About
I don't have anything interesting to talk about. I don't know why or how I came up with that heading. It just popped in my head. I don't have anything to do and I am tired of looking at stuff on the internet, so I thought I should post something. Let's see.....This week is almost over. I will be kind of glad when it is. We are having VBS this week and it's starting to wear me out. We usually don't get home til 9:00. Which means I haven't washed any clothes this week or really done anything in my house. The house is okay the dirty clothes aren't. I like to try and wash clothes through the week so that way I don't have to spend the weekend washing. I was thinking about leaving VBS early tonight to try and wash at least 2 loads. I doubt I will be able to though.
I have some good news. I did order that lamp from Target for the nursery. When I placed the order on the 17th it said the estimated ship date wasn't until August 15th! I thought that's just great. Olivia could be here by then. I mean it's not that big of deal to have a lamp, but ya know how girls can be sometimes. I know how I am anyways... if there is something I really want and I get that in my head I can't quit thinking about it til I get it. I try not to be like that, but sometimes it's hard. So anyway...the lamp shade shipped yesterday!! I was excited. I was kind of thinking I should just look for something else, but now I will just have to find a base. And I think I am going to go with one I found from Pottery Barn Kids. I ordered the curtains last week and those should be at my house today or tomorrow. I did order the personalized letters from Layla Grace, but those won't ship for 4-6 weeks because they are hand made. If I wasn't so indecisive about things I would've already ordered them and probably had them by now. I have been looking at them for well over a month. I thought it was neat that the style I like used the name "Olivia"...I took that as a sign. It was meant to be. :D By the way...I went with Chalk as the font.
Hmmm...what else is there to talk about... Oh... I know something kind of funny. You know when your pregnant people will say the stupidest and funniest things sometimes. A lot of times I don't even have a response when I hear the stupid comments or questions. It's almost like I don't even know what to say. Also...if I had a $1 for every time someone or even the same person has asked me when I was due I would probably have a million dollars!! Seriously...I almost want to wear a sticker or something that says: DUE-AUGUST 28TH!!!- AND YES...IT'S A GIRL!!
Okay...now that I have that off my chest. This Sunday at church I was in the children's church and this little girl come up to me and started asking me questions. Now...first of all she is new to our church (her dad is our new minister of music) and I think she is like 5 years old. She was randomly asking me questions and then said "Hey your pregnant... you have a baby in there." And I just kind of laughed and said yeah, I am pregnant. Then she pointed at my belly button and said, "Is that its nose?" I thought I was going to die! It was pretty hilarious. I just laughed and told her no. I said that's my belly button. I will admit it makes weird shapes sometimes. It never pokes all the way out only the top part. Then sometimes it's completely flat and looks like I don't even have one.
Well...I guess that's all I have time for. I think I am fixing to slip on out of here!

Last Night
Last night was pretty annoying! I think I got a total of 3 hours of sleep. My stomach was "hurting" I guess it would be Braxton Hicks Contractions, but I am not real sure. Then I had Heart burn all night, but I would like to call it throat burn. It just feels like my throat is on fire no burning feelings in my chest. It felt as if I could throw up any second, but I would just kind of burp. After taking medicine I laid back down and dozzed off. Only to be awaken by a crazy dream. I had a dream that I ended up going into labor and I had nothing ready!! It was horrible!! I mean I have all the "stuff" and the most important the carseat, but it wasn't in my car. I didn't have any clothes for myself. I wasn't ready for anything. Olivia's room is a disaster. There is "stuff"-shower gifts- everywhere. I just haven't had the time to get in there and put things away. I don't even know where I want things to go. It seems like I can't slow down enough to get stuff done around my house or just have time for myself. I actually took off from work Friday just so I could clean my house. Who really plays hookie to clean their house?!? I didn't clean alll day, but I got a lot of stuff done but nothing really in Olivia's room though. I won't be able to work on anything this week because we are having VBS. Uggghhh...maybe this weekend I can't get a big part of it done or atleast I hope so. I don't have much time left.

I Am Still Alive
...If anyone cares. :D I haven't posted anything in over a month. I have been a bad blogger. I am sorry. I have had 2 posts that I was working on and never came back to them, so I just deleted them and started over. A lot has been going on in the past month and I don't think I have enough time to update you completely on everything.
Sunday was my shower for Olivia. It went really well. It was very overwhelming with all the gifts. I am still sorting through stuff and deciding where stuff will go. I think I will wait for my mom to get back from the Beach before I do to much more. I need her assistance. : )
I am still have a couple of things to do to the nursery. I still need a lamp, mirror and wall decor. I think I may have just found the lamp shade I am going to get. Thanks to Amanda. I was telling her some of the stuff I still need to do and she sent me some links of lamps she liked. One of them was one I had just looked at the other day online and thought it was really cute. It's from Target. It really does go with the bed skirt. I was thinking the same thing. Well...I know this is short, but I am really sleepy. Hopefully it will not be another month before I have another post.
Good Night.
