Hmmm...wasn't there something I was supposed to do today??

April 28th, April 28th.....what was it??? Oh right, today is the day I was supposed to birth my baby!!! It's all coming back to me now. I had almost forgotten.
Well, ladies & gentlemen...no sign of labor. Not even the slightest peep. I go back to the doctor tomorrow morning, and I'll keep you posted!

I can't stop yellin', cause that's how I talk!

Let's face it: Samuel L. Jackson is funny...whether he wants to be or not. If you have ever seen Dave Chappelle impersonating him (above), he always makes fun of the way Samuel cannot stop himself from yelling...whether he needs to be or not. That's another clip for another day, though.
Anyway, ever since that movie, "Snakes on a Plane" came out with him in it, Kevin and I, and I am positive most of you, love to make fun of his line, "I have had it with these MF snakes on this MF plane!!" Well, we were all lucky enough for "Snakes on a Plane" to come on Fox this weekend, and man, did they do a GREAT job of making the famous line a little more kid & parent friendly. They should do this to all movies!!

A few more people should be pullin' their weight...

Well, this past weekend was a Vicksburg weekend. I went up to the Burg to visit with my mother and go to the Riverfest flea market to support a vendor that I had been dying to see. She makes these really sweet dresses from antique fabrics like tablecloths, napkins, pillowcases, etc. They are really cute & one of a kind, so I slipped on my extra-supportive tennis shoes and braved the port-o-pottys. I hope Helen likes to wear dresses, cause girl got some!
After we hit the flea market, my mom, aunt, and I went to Rusty's for lunch. I hadn't been there in awhile, and was excited for some good food (nothing unusual about that these days). Anyway, we're sitting in the corner, watching a homeless woman smoke a cigar and have a chat with herself outside our window, when who should walk in, but the musical "headliner" for Riverfest...Aaron Tippin. What?? You've never heard of Aaron Tippin?? Impossible, but allow me to refresh your memory with this little gold nugget...

2 Weeks And Counting!

I know, I have been away for too long! Thanks to all of you requesting a blog entry. Seriously, though, nothing has been going on that I would consider blog-worthy lately. Still pregnant, still playing the waiting game, still having people ask me if I'm still pregnant. Yes, I'm still pregnant. I had my 38 week appointment today, and everything is coming together. I am progressing slowly but surely (I'll spare you the details). Yes, I have a laundry list of complaints, but I am focusing on being positive. Only (officially) two more weeks!

Here are some new pics of Helen's room. The only thing left to do is get some art on the walls.

There's a party in my pants...

And Freddie Mercury has taken the stage!



Methinks Helen has decided to introduce her (big?) head to my pelvic bone.

Are you there God?

It's me, Jessie.

I digress.

*My mother actually asked me if those were my feet in the above pic. Grrr... As much as it feels like it, no, mom, not my actual cankles.

We had our 36 week appointment today with the doctor. I actually got Kevin to come with me! Poor thing, this was the worst one so far...the first week that the doctor checks for cervix effacement and dilation (he also does some other nasty things that I won't get into). I've been told this doesn't hurt...well, IT DOES. And don't let them tell you different, ladies. Anyway, turns out I am about 90% effaced and 1cm dilated. Needless to say, not enough for this baby to come out tomorrow. The doc could feel her head way down low, though, so that's good. We're almost there! (Oh, please, please let us almost be there...)
