Just a few days till the official due date and no baby yet. I know he has to come out eventually but I'd rather sooner than later. I'm trying to just take it in stride, trying to just be patient but it isn't easy.
So that is all really, I'm off to cook a ton of cookies to console my big pregnant self :)
If you are hungry stop by tonight for cookies.

No news isn't always good news
I have no news of baby yet; that is NOT good news to me. As I mentioned before, I am not patient. I am impatiently awaiting the arrival of my little boy, the kids are anxiously awaiting and asking daily when he is coming out. BUT I am trying to enjoy day to day life and be happy. Happy that I've had a healthy pregnancy. Happy that my little boy is still doing so well inside. Happy that the kids are so excited for their new little brother. Happy to be a mom. And yet...I'm bigger than I've ever been, my belly has never measured at 40 weeks before. I'm more swollen than ever before. I am more achy than ever before (probably due to the being bigger thing.) and yet this little guy is determined to stay in longer than any of the kids before him. It could happen at any moment, or in a week. AND I HATE the unknown!
Come out come out little guy! We are ready to welcome you into our family!

While we wait...
Until I have stats on the newest Andersen I thought I'd give some comparison stats of the other kids
This baby is coming soon. There are only 11 days until my due date. We shall see when he decides to make his arrival, and hopefully he isn't the biggest ;)

Ready or not...I'm ready
I know I have nothing to complain about. I'm only 37 1/2 weeks. I haven't even hit my due date; BUT I am so very ready to meet this little baby! I am not a patient person when it comes to waiting for things. For example, if I decide I want a haircut I want to do it right then (Which has led to many hair disasters because I couldn't wait to go to a good hairstylist.) :)
So now that it is "okay" for the baby to come I want him to come. I want to hold him, and look at his cute little face. I want to hear his cries and rock him to sleep. I want to watch his older brothers and sisters hold him and marvel at the little miracle that babies are. I AM READY!! But he is happy and comfy in his snug home, I'm sending an eviction notice though, "Baby, it is time to come out and meet the world!"
I promise, I didn't pray for patience or anything, but it seems the Lord is trying to teach me patience. It doesn't help that my feet are so huge that my skin burns from being stretched so tight or that my belly measures 2 weeks ahead of schedule and that makes me slightly afraid of how big he may be. (Please little guy, come out before you hit 9 lbs!!!!)
Mostly though, I just want to hold this little baby. I mean that is the point of getting pregnant, to have a baby and I am more than ready to have this baby.
Everybody chant with me tonight... "Baby today is a good day for a birthday!" ;)
Hopefully next time I post (which will be soon) will be about his Birth Day.

MAY
It is May! The countdown is only 3 weeks and 4 days till my due date! This baby is coming soon!!!
Lilli has her birthday on Saturday. I can't believe she will be 5. Where did those 5 years go? She is such a sweet girl and we are so happy to have her in our family. We all love her so much. The kids fight over who gets to play with her. (The fighting isn't so great but the love for her is awesome) :)
I may have mentioned it in my last post but Lilli is convinced that the baby will be born on her birthday. I highly doubt it as that is the very first day he will be considered full term but stranger things have happened. We shall see. (I wouldn't mind)
Henry just celebrated his 10th birthday. He was going to have a birthday party but then we found out the his one and only true love, Selena Gomez, is coming to Salt Lake in concert he decided to wait and see the show instead. He is so cute about his crush on her. Can't believe my happy little baby is now 10. He is creative, inventive, and a wonderful part of our family.
That is really about it at our house. I just wanted to post briefly about the kids birthdays and to celebrate the fact that it is MAY!
