The Time Bomb

If one more person tells me I'm going to pop, I'm going to give them a little pop in the eye.

I've crossed the line from "feelin' good" to "all-I-want-to-do-is-have-this-baby-or-not-move-from-the-couch." In a matter of weeks, it's been like a light bulb has switched and I don't like it. I love being pregnant, but now I know what people are talking about when they say "just wait." At this point in pregnancy, I feel like a ticking time bomb. I could "go" at any moment and I reallllyy don't like that uncertainty. It made for a pretty funny April Fool's Day joke on my sister though...

We're ready for you, Peanut. Let's get the show on the road! But alas... I still have 2 more weeks (or more) until our official due date of April 18th.

No new improvements or cravings. Our hospital bag is all packed, all of the clothes are washed, his crib and bassinet are ready to go, I've deep cleaned every inch of our house (except the basement), and vacuumed the life out of our carpets. Oh, and I've drank about a gallon of milk this week. By myself. So I guess you could say that I'm craving milk!

One thing about this week that is exciting is that Baby Barrick's nursery has been featured on a cool blog, called Buy Modern Baby. They feature all kinds of modern baby gear and Real Rooms from other people all over the country. I'm flattered to be on there with the other fabulous nursery decorators!

Now, because we're all fun and games over here at the Barrick Times, I thought it would be fun to compare my belly over the past 10 weeks. WOW, is all I can say. I would never have imagined that my belly could grow that fast in that amount of time. I have a few notes about the following series of pictures:

1) I do not photograph well.

2) My outfit in picture #2 is atrocious.

2) Picture #2 is why I now belt everything at the "waist" or wear shirt that are cut with some sort of shape.

3) Help me, Rhonda, Picture #2 is so sad.

4) I love yoga pants. Amen.

5) I chopped off all my hair yesterday, thanks to the help of my sweet friend, Candice.

6) I didn't do it for the sake of it being easier to take care of. Jennifer Aniston cut off her locks and I gotta keep up with what that woman is doing. She hasn't aged in 10 years. Amen.

So there you have it! 38 Weeks and counting!
