Happy Hump Day everyone!  Hope you all are feeling thin and peppy.  Me?  Oh no I am not.  I am still pregnant.  My due date was yesterday.  Thought I would give you all a rundown of what I have been hearing from people this week.  Enjoy!

• "Happy Birthday Dean" - from Kevin every morning this week.  One of these days he will be correct.
• "Is Baby Dean ready to come out?" - from Kaci every morning this week.  She is excited for the following 3 reasons:
• She will get to stay home from school for a few days - or at least go in late.  She loves school.  But her love for laying on the couch in her underwear and watching Curious George outweighs her love for school.
• She may possibly get a sleepover at her cousins house while we are at the hospital.
• And of course she is excited about having a baby brother.
• "Good Morning Jaci" - (read this as though you are pitying me...then follow it up with a chuckle) - from the teacher at Kaci's school every morning this week.  I smile, give her back a bright and cheery "Good Morning" in response and leave.  Ugh.
• "You're still here?" - Most everyone I encounter on my way through the building at work.  Again - every morning this week.  "Yep - still waiting!" is my go to response at 7:45 a.m.
• "JACI!" - From my boss every morning this week.  He then goes on to discuss all things work related as if A - I care and B - I will be here forever to take care of these items.  I humor him and go along as if both are true.
• "Have you tried _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _?" - Choose an item from the list below to fill in that blank.  
• caster oil
• walking
• sex
• spicy food
• sitting on a yoga ball
• eggplant parmesan
• acupuncture

In reviewing my writing above, I see that I come across as terribly irritable.  I really am not.  I mean don't get me wrong, I do have my moments.  For the most part though I am doing just fine.  I am healthy.  I am not uncomfortable in any way.  Baby Dean will be fully cooked (hopefully not 14 lbs though).  I get to eat treats and not worry about how much weight I have to lose.  Yes - I know I should be thinking about those treats before I pop them in my mouth - but I am not.  And the end is near.  At my doctor appointment yesterday we talked about inducing if needed on Wednesday, January 29th.  

I will keep you all posted!

A picture of me today - I am trying to do a bit better in documenting.  I didn't have any pictures from Kaci.
