Let's get this party started!

Here's a nice little... ha, did I just say little.... big pic of me during my last week of pregnancy! I officially gained 40 lbs and weigh about the same as my dad- like whoa!!! I had a Doctor's appt. this morning (May 12) and I was spilling a little bit of protein and due to my swelling, the Doc decided he wanted to get the party started!! HOLLLA! (Can I still say that when I'm a mom?) Big Joey and I are going back to the hospital at 6:30 tonight to get induced. Apparently there is some type of suppository that induces natural labor, and if that doesn't work the Doc will use Pitocin in the morn. He's hoping we'll have little Joey sometime tomorrow!! According to the Born on Sweepstakes we have going, Joey's colleague, Bo Hart, and my best friend, Carrie Cleavenger, are in the running for May 13th. If I have the baby before 3pm, Bo wins. If I have the baby after 3pm, Carrie wins!! The winner will receive $50 and a picture with the newborn. The rest of the funds will go toward little Joey's college fund. It will go to an institution of higher leanring, however, the money is not applicable in West Lafayette, IN.

During this pregnancy I have had a huge craving for chicken salad and fresh fruit. Today, Joey and I were able to go to the Bay Window one last time for this!! It was awesome! There were about 4 restaurants that I was a regular at during pregnancy... the Bay Window, Chick-fil-A, Roscoe's Tacos, and Olive Garden. I was such a regular I would run into the people that worked at these places at the mall or the Little League diamonds and they would ask if I have had my chicken burrito for the day. Whoever I was with at the time thought I was crazy. But hey, a craving is a craving!!
