So awhile ago I had predicted that I would be having a May baby. Whelp...here we are, May 31st and no sign of baby, and I don't get the feeling he will be coming today.
We're almost out of time for my May prediction and I'm okay with that. He'll come when he's ready. I'm enjoying my last days of quiet, my last few days of nothingness.
I have my 39 week appointment tomorrow and I'm not convinced there will be much of an update. I have come to accept that this little guy might still have a few weeks left in him. <3

Time Flies!
It's been about a month since I've updated this thing last, although it feels like yesterday.
If time is already flying by now, I can't imagine how it is going to be once the baby comes!
Updates:
*2 down...1 to go. My other two girlfriends have had their babies! Baby Floyd will be boy number 3!
*As of yesterday the doctor said I am 1cm and 90% effaced. This means it could be days or weeks before this baby comes!
*I have given my "two weeks" at work with my last day being June 3rd (unless the baby comes sooner, obviously) I will not be going back once the baby comes. Jeremy and I have decided that I will work part time for awhile while we are getting situated with the new addition!
*Within the past week Jeremy has really gotten into the "nesting" phase. It is cute!
*I took my personal training test and FAILED....I needed a 500 to pass and only got a 468. The piece of paper literally said..."Status: FAIL" So polite :) I can always retake it in the future, so I'll continue to read and take it when I'm a little more prepared.
Things I didn't realize:
*How hard it would be to pee into a cup when pregnant. I never thought of it actually...but it is extremely difficult to do!
*That snoring would be part of my pregnancy package...I think I've controlled it a little bit (Jeremy can be the judge of that)
*How itchy my stomach would be. I thought I was going to get away from the itch....but within the past few days it has become extreme!
*I caught a glimpse of my belly button today while walking by the mirror today and it looks like a little pig's snout! NOTHING I HAVE READ WARNED ME ABOUT THE PIG SNOUT ON MY STOMACH.
My Pregnancy:
Overall I have had a great pregnancy. Jeremy has described it as "boring"...Boring in the sense of: no morning sickness, no weird cravings, no issues, no crazy pregnancy hormones (well not really anyway....), etc.
I have really enjoyed being pregnant. It has been a fun and different experience. It is crazy how much love I already have for this little guy! <3
I look forward to the next few weeks. I am really excited with the whole "not knowing" when this guy is going to grace us with his presence. I think that's part of the fun. All I can do is be mentally prepared and he will come when he is ready. We're ready. Bring it on Baby Floyd!

Everyone deserves a second chance
Perhaps I should say, "EveryTHING deserves a second chance"
On Monday I wore a pair of jeans to work that I've been wearing since before I was pregnant. I decided that they still fit, even though I was to the point of only buttoning one of the two buttons :) I also had socks and boots on but I was pretty comfortable all day as this was an outfit I had worn often. It wasn't until I got home that I realized how uncomfortable I actually was.
I took my socks and shoes off, okay no problem. Then it came time to peeling off my jeans. Peeling. I look down and what do I see? LINES FROM THE SEAMS OF MY PANTS INDENTED ON MY SKIN. I look down further and notice my newly formed cankles are indented with the lines from my socks. I looked absolutely ridiculous. I wanted to take a picture of the mess I had made with my skin, but I was too busy laughing/crying at what I had just done to myself that I couldn't! Jeremy told me that I was no longer allowed to wear those jeans until after they actually fit me again. I was convinced that this incident was a bad combination of the tight socks, restricting boots, lack of elevating my legs at work, and the pants that were just a llllliiiittttttlllllleee too tight, that made me this way.
So what do I do? I wear the pants again to work today. This time, not buttoning either of the two buttons, but pairing them with a pair of comfortable, breathable shoes. Jeremy called me out on this - I told him that this was the only other chance these pants were getting. If my day ended with the same results that I would retire these jeans until futher notice.
If you are curious, which I'm sure that you are....these pants have been put back in the drawer and won't be making another appearance on my body for a few months. Thank you jeans for the past 8 months....it's been a fun ride.

Speaking of 8 months....Happy 32 Weeks to Baby Floyd!
We're getting closer and closer! and I'm getting bigger and bigger! Jeremy referred to my calves as "meaty" the other day....I couldn't even be upset - it's so true....!!

FOUR!
A few pictures from the Masters Practice Round and the Par 3 tournament on Wednesday. It ended up being such a beautiful day. I hit my walking quota for the week in one day and left with a silly sunburn.

A little rest and relaxation
We are in Evans, Georgia for the week visitng the in-laws. I am already enjoying the relaxing vacation. Today's high temps: 87 degrees :) Jeremy has to work a bit this week remotely, so I will be taking this opportunity to do a bunch of reading for my training certification. I don't know if I'll ever have another week in my life where I have nothing that I HAVE to do. I am going to take advantage of this.
We left for Georgia Sunday morning around 4:30am and made it in about 9 1/2 hours. Not too shabby. My only complaint would be the swollen ankles I am still suffering from. A lot of water and elevating my feet are in my plans for today.
The picture below is our car when we left. This is just OUR stuff (and Chloe's eyeball) Where are we going to put a baby and HIS stuff??
