my crappy immune system.

It looks like I will be getting hit again with another cold this week. Ugh... I hope that's a sign that labor is nowhere near because my throat hurts and I'm all congested. I feel like ass. I cannot birth a baby in this condition!

Fast-forward to Monday... I didn't get to post all this stuff right away because for some reason our laptop will not let me post anymore! So now it's Monday.

I've got my 40 week checkup today but I will be seeing the nurse practitioner since my midwife is out for surgery. I'm hoping this baby can hang on until next week when she will hopefully be able to help me out in labor!

Today is my first "official" day of maternity leave. I was not able to sleep well at all last night so after I got Noah ready for daycare and ate breakfast, I went back to bed, lol. Then I went to the store to pick up a few things (namely, taco shells since I forgot about that important ingredient for tacos when I was grocery shopping on Saturday). I confirmed my chiro appointment this Friday and am trying to reach the hair salon to get a haircut on Wednesday but I can't seem to get through! >:( Anyway, I spent some quality time in the bedroom putting all my clothes away which is always a huge feat for me. I would still like to sort through the contents of my dresser and declutter my nightstand but that will have to wait. I need a break. I've got to leave for my appointment in about 20 minutes.

I totally forgot to divulge the results of my consignment sale excursion last week. My co-worker and I went to this huge sale that they put on twice a year here in town where anyone can consign any kind of baby items they no longer use. Side note: I am pretty excited that I now know where I can get rid of all of the baby items I'll no longer have a use for... and get some money for it! It's basically like a community garage sale that this person hosts inside an empty building but it's specifically for baby items. Anyway, we went and I made out with six shirts, a rashguard (that just happens to go perfectly with Noah's new swim trunks), two pairs of pants and three pairs of shorts for Noah... all for $33.00! A couple of the things were still brand new. I think the best deal I scored was a pair of Ralph Lauren khakis for $1.00. So that was pretty exciting. I can't wait to check that out again this fall. What an awesome idea.

I wanted to take a picture of Noah this morning but I completely forgot. He looked so adorable in his little argyle sweater vest since today is picture day at Childtime. I hope he smiles good! :D His last portraits didn't turn out so well. :/

And I still feel like butt. I can't breathe through my nose but at least my throat is a little better and my mucus is clear, lol.
