Jack Johnson Concert!

I can't believe that we made it to the Jack Johnson Concert but we did and we had so much fun! Well, as much fun as a nine month pregnant women and an impatience dad could have. Aaron and I went on our first date to Jack Johnson and fell in love and now 6 years later we took our little guy to his first Jack concert and bought him his first t-shirt. Honestly, I would have rather been in labor or at home holding my little guy but he is being very stubborn about wanting to come out. I got pretty sick after the concert and thought that I might be going into labor but of course my labor pains stopped by morning.

40 WEEKS AND STILL PREGNANT

So today is the day that I officially hit 40 weeks and I'm still pregnant! I honestly thought that I would have had him by now. I was making such good progress at 37 weeks that I stressed out and got everything ready for his arrival. I got his nursery finished, my bags packed for the hospital, cleaned the house, etc. Now 3 weeks later I have started my maternity leave and cant believe I'm still pregnant. I have tried every myth in the book and nothing has worked to get him to come out. I go walking everyday, I have eaten spicy food, I even jumped on my parents tramp on Sunday but here I am still pregnant and so uncomfortable. Lets just say the bathtub has been my best friend with my aching body.

I have been trying to keep myself occupied with things to keep my mind off why Lucas wont join us. Yesterday I went downtown to Aaron's office to meet him for lunch and to see where he works. It was fun seeing him in action and meeting his coworkers. We walked over to this little eatery and ate lunch. Its so fun to have him work downtown. Afterwords, I went and walked around Pier One and Target to keep up my exercise and found lamps for our bedroom and a cute pillow to match. It's probably not a good thing that I have more free time because I'm not a person who just sits I have to be consistently staying busy and lets just say I can only clean my house so many times. Anyway, hopefully the next post I do will be welcoming my cute little man into this world. Aaron and I are so excited to meet him!
