Overdone...

Stick a fork in me..i'm DONE !! Well i thought i had roasted this turkey long enough, but i guess he's not ready.  We're at about 5 days overdue and he still shows no sign of coming out.  I knew he'd be a late baby, but didn't think this late...i fear that i'll start losing my patience.  Yesterday i "nested" with the best of them and moved around all my living room furniture, lifted up his pack 'n play over the baby gate and just went crazy.  We thought that was a sure sign he was about to come out. But when we both woke up this morning...the closest thing we had to a delivery was a dream of one.

So we hear there's a full moon tomorrow..does that mean BABY ??!!  i would be a very happy mommy is so :-) until then...we wait.  Mason, we know you are worth it !!! however..if you don't come out soon - we may have to start charging rent.

over cooked,

Happy Due Date...

What's in a due date anyways?  a big disappointment!?  haha.  I've actually "known" from the beginning that my son would not arrive early..more like fashionably late.  I mean can we blame him for not wanting to share HIS day with a small furry critter?  I mean have you seen a groundhog?  not the cutest being around.  While 2-2-12 would have been a fun date (easy to remember)...i'm still happy we made it to the February month - and i'm sure he'll rock the socks off any day from here on out.  It's safe to say he'll be born before the 16th (the 42 week mark, that i'm told they won't allow you to go past). So i thought it'd be fun to share some AQUARIUS traits.  From what i've gathered...an Aquarius is original and they really  "march to the beat of their own drum," while also being pretty darn intelligent.  Here are some of the horoscope junkies' take on the A's (born Jan 20 - Feb 18).

• Aquarius children are quite social and attracted to diversity and new experiences.
• Pursuing their own freedom and individuality are among their primary needs.
• The Aquarian child needs parents who encourage his or her need to be different.
• Although likely to be intelligent-even brilliant - he or she does not fit a prescribed image. Their curiosity is stronger than any other characteristic.
• He can be rebellious in nature, resisting commands and rules. However, he will easily come to sensible conclusions when allowed to think things through.
• Your little Aquarius might like unusual foods that other kids won't even try -- think hot peppers, strong cheeses, raw oysters, and the like.    
• Your Aquarius child may surprise you with his inventiveness, interests and life choices, but if you can stay open to the ways his mind works, you're likely to find he's a genius in his own right. 

happily due,
