The Bet

And the bet is on!

Every year I bet on the results of the Super Bowl (well, except the year the Colts were in it, of course, b/c who would bet against them!?!). This year was the first year in a long time that I won the bet. Way to go Eli!

Then my QUASH team just won an award for Best Costume at the Alzheimer's Association's scavenger hunt fund raiser. It was awesome!!!

So now I'm feeling pretty confident than I'm going to win this latest bet. First off, by winning I will get to choose where we go for our first date as parents. I already have a few ideas of what I want to do so it should be a great day/evening.

Now here's the bet:

I bet I would not "pop" until after next Tuesday. (Keep in mind that my due date is the 4th of July.)

Steve bet that I will go before Tuesday. (He's keeping in mind that I'm now basically 4 cm dilated.)

So I would like your comments and opinions on who you think will win the bet. Of course I'll let you all know who wins by posting info and pics when it does happen. I anticipate possibly posting a blog mid-labor :) Unless my doc is correct and it only takes an hour or so...hmmm...at any rate, I'll be sure and let you all know!

Wish me luck!!!

My Kitties, as Promised

Still Hanging In There...

Quick update, in case anyone was wondering how the appointment went this week:

* I'm still 3 cm and the kid is hanging in there! I've told it that it has to hang in until after Saturday b/c I really, REALLY want to QUASH!!! Go Team Scattered!

* My doctor thinks I'm crazy, actually most doctors do, b/c I am enjoying myself so much. I guess most people at this point can't wait to get it out of them. Oh well, maybe they are delusional about how it's going to be after their kids are born, but I just know that this time of carrying it around with me is the easiest it's ever going to be raising it. Plus, I love having my little friend with me at all times! :) (Yes, I'm a freak.)

* That's about it. No other updates right now. I do promise to get pics of my kitties up soon. I was going to do it this morning but I'm on the laptop and my pics are all saved on the desktop. So stay tuned...

It's a Coming...

I've been given my first restriction, my first taste of limited activity - I can no longer go to the pool. I now know what it feels like to be told not to do things and it kind of stinks!

For those of you not in the know (which is probably the majority of the readers here) I'm 3 cm dilated with my first kid! I've had the easiest 8.5 months ever - my husband is sure most pregnant women hate me. From the back, and ocassionally the front depending on the shirt I'm wearing, you would never know I'm pregnant. I love this. I love feeling like everything I thought it was going to be (easy, fun, exciting) is turning out just as I thought. And I fully believe it's b/c I am so active and have good genes. My mom never had any sickness or anything with me or my brother. She's also very active. We're workaholics and work-outaholics - I would highly recommend this when getting pregnant.

But this last week we had a small scare. I didn't know I could be starting to dilate and not know it! I also didn't know that would keep me from taking a bath or swimming. Because of the crappy storms lately I've only gotten to the pool once this summer so let's hope the kid likes to swim as much as I do so we can both go later in the summer!

That's about it for now. I've got 3 weeks until the 4th of July and do not want it to end. I love this whole experience and wish it could go on a little longer. But check back soon for updates and pics. And feel free to comment on things. I'll be happy to respond to any comments or questions! Have a wonderful summer, everyone :)
