Well here we are, 39w6d pregnant and still no Emersyn haha, this child certainly is stubborn. I have an appointment this morning, so we are hoping for progress. :)
Besides thinking about the arrival of this little peanut here is what is happening in our neck of the woods.
Kyle is crazy busy with this rotation (even when he is home his work blackberry is buzzing like crazy) but he got home early enough on Saturday night that we could order the UFC fight. I am that wife that actually enjoys this type of stuff, Kyle laughed and said that I was going to put myself into labor with how hyped up I get. It was nice to have that extra time with him to just relax and do something fun that didn't involve leaving the house.
I officially registered for the Rock n Roll New Orleans Marathon in February! I am going it solo but Kyle and Emersyn will be my cheering section on the sidelines. I have had some people tell me that I need to slow down and just relax but when you go from running 8-10 weekly to maybe 1-2 it's hard and starting October 3rd it's game on!
I have also been focusing a lot of attention on budgeting lately, when you are adding a new person to the mix it becomes even more important to ensure that you are being smart with money. This is entirely my lane, Kyle trusts me to handle the money and I have been focusing on monthly transfers to savings, principle payments on our car loan, and transfers into a college we set up for the baby. All of these things are so important and something that I take pretty seriously. We have an amount that is our zero, it helps to have that so we don't completely deplete funds. Excel has been my best friend haha.
Emma has been perfecting her sassy face lately haha...this is what she does when she is waiting for Kyle to come up to bed. She will only do this to him, I am chop liver to this pup.
Hope you all have a great day!!! :)
Boo! I was hoping Emersyn would come today so we could be birthday twinsies!! ;) I like watching the fights too, but am more a boxing/muay thai girl...!
ReplyDeleteThat pic of Emma is sooooo damn cute!! Love it!!
Lol BabyBelle does that with her daddy!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! It's so cute to see.
DeleteI know all about stubborn kids. Both my kids were born at 40w5d and each day overdue made me feel even more cranky. Budgeting is so important with kids, especially when they start eating solid foods. Your grocery bill will increase exponentially.
ReplyDeleteI've had people tell me similar things since I started real estate classes when she was only 6 weeks old. I'm almost finished now and it feels so good to be doing something for myself. I was all about getting back into running when I was pregnant but after she was born I changed my mind, lol. I lost the baby weight fast & walking & short runs have been enough for me, but I know you love long distances so the marathon will be good!
ReplyDeleteDo you feel ready for the baby??? I hope everything goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteI keep checking to see if you have not posted because maybe that means she here. But I'm also worried you will not have posted and then we will wait in anxious anticipation for the 'she's here' update!
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't worry about what other people tell you. This is just the beginning of everyone forcing their opinions on you! I personally got right back to running/jogging when the Dr. gave me the all clear and started my Master's program when he was 3 months old. You can do anything, Girl!
Thanks so much, Jen!!!
DeleteAhh, you're so close to meeting her! Can't wait for that post :)
ReplyDeleteCome on baby smith!!!!! Now that I have commented (something I haven't done in a few weeks)...maybe she'll finally come tonight!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! She is still baking away.
DeleteKeeping my fingers crossed that she arrives soon! I'm totally with you on the budgeting because as of two weeks from now we will be living on one paycheck until I find a job at Drum ... YIKES!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you've got budgeting on the brain! I'm happy to chat! You know it's one of my favorite topics!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I know how those last few days go. Hopefully your appointment showed progress towards labor. Go eat some spicy cajun food! ;)
ReplyDeleteSo I guess the UFC fight didn't put you into labor! ;) I'm OBSESSED with budgeting. Andy loves that I love budgeting because he doesn't have to worry about it anymore! I think he's checked our bank account like twice since we got married!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear your labor story! I hope she comes soon!
ReplyDeleteI do the budgeting here too so I know how pain staking that can be!!
Thanks, Winter!!! :) Yes budgeting is quite the task but so worth it.
DeleteOh I hope she comes soon!! My doctor always said first babies go to term or over. All mine came two weeks early, but he kept preparing me for that. LOL
ReplyDeleteHope that sweet baby comes soon mama! Those last few days and weeks are absolutely the hardest Also, I don't think February is an unrealistic goal for running again. You will hopefully feel just fine!
ReplyDeleteI'm in charge of the money here too. I watch it closely, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll do great at the marathon!
I am ruined from UFC! The one and only fight I watched the guy broke his leg from kicking the other guy. I'm sure you know which fight that was. I'm scarred!! I'm hoping one of these days reading your blog will rub off on me so that I too become a runner! I always try to start the couch to 5k and slack at week 2. But I can walk...really fast :)
ReplyDeleteAw look at her so cute. And dogs like chopped liver, lol!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am patiently...or not...awaiting the arrival of Baby Emersyn! Hope you are feeling well!
ReplyDeleteWaiting for baby is hard to do! Nights like that are important to have. I love a cozy night at home. I roll my eyes at the people saying slow down. You know your body and you will know when to slow down. Keep up the great work!
