I totally LOVED everyone's day of baby stories - LOVED. They provided much entertainment and distraction from my very pregnant self so thank you very very much for that.
Lets be random today? Bullets aren't really in order here but random blurbs are.
#1 This child has been on the right side of my body all day - literally the left side of my belly was just a mush of tissue/water that could be pushed in until you reach the bellybutton. It really contributed to the alien look I've been going for so about 20 minutes ago I decided that I should photograph this. I tried to "self take" the photo but that wasn't working so I decided I would get out the tripod that I purchased and have never actually used and get the picture. So I struggle with this for 15 minutes and then as I'm about to set up the timer I feel her move and she moves to be dead center perfect baby position again. She thinks she's hilarious. I kind of agree.
#2 It's completely possible that I will turn into Violet from Willy Wonka because my consumption of blueberries is really out of control. I just can't get enough blueberries. I bought two big packages this morning from Sam's Club and as I was checking out actually thought that I should have considered a third and a forth package as well. Is it possible she will come out blue like a blueberry? Somoene should let me know so I don't freak the hell out.
#3 I've been looking at clothing that I want to purchase once I'm not pregnant. My dear AndreAnna and I started a new little adventure to contain our weight loss successes (that's code for complaining about weight loss) in the Life After Baby she's lucky (hahaaha I say as I pop another powdered sugar munchkin in my mouth) to be on her journey back to pre-baby body. My goal is going to be looking like I like to be looking for our annual Flordia vaca in December - ambitious? Yes. Let's take a look at some of the things I'm lusting after:
The SeaShore Hoodie from Athleta. I'd also like her thighs.
Premium Denim from 7 For All Mankind. I'll take her tush. Please note the lack of maternity panel
And Finally this dress. That will identify that I do have a waist and also will show off my toned arms from lifting baby and carseats.
Well the mailman just got here and sadly that's the thrill of my day to get the mail so I'm off. If anything happens you'll all be the second to know...the FH was all insistent on me calling him before I Twitter and blog (but because he doesn't Twitter OR read my blog it would be kinda difficult for him to know for sure).

Saywer did that one day - it was creepy and hurt!
I'm being overly ambitious too but I'd rather set high goals !
How Bizarre!! You speak of blueberries and Saturday the kids and I picked 12 lbs! Today I made Jam and Pie. Damn, I wish you lived closer, the pie would be yours!!! And no, she won't come out looking like Violet. I wondered the same thing about my daughter, because I had a cheddar cheese fetish. I swore she was going to be orange. I think your daughter has a sense of humor already! And I think you'll be able to get into all of those adorable outfits by then. Weird question...what will the babystrology say after tomorrow? Not something cruel like "overdue" I hope?!
I've been eating a lot of blueberries too but I blame Sabrina...she would eat nothing but blueberries if I would let her. She is obsessed.
And I'm terrified of never getting into my pre-baby levis. I'm old (I'll be 36 in a couple of months) and I keep hearing how much harder it is. Hopefully my terror translates into motivation.
Don't wish away yor precious time to pig out!
I love those jeans! I wish my arse would fit into something that cute, sadly, they don't make them in my size, even if I got down to my "ideal" weight. :)
....You know, I've never tried Blueberries, but I'm sure they won't affect the baby....
Blueberries are my crack lately. No. Really. Three packages in just under two days. I can't help myself. It's a sickness, really.
Those jeans are cute. But, I'm willing to bet your butt looks better. You're far smaller than that chick. I, too, will take the thighs in the hoodie picture. The dress? Super cute. Unfortunately for me, I don't have the accessories needed to hold something like that up.
:)
I'm waiting patiently for the blueberries in my yard to get on with it and be ready to be picked. Wild Maine blueberries~yummo.
Okay, here's my idea for having your baby tonight.
I was born at 10:22 pm 23 years ago today, so maybe I know what I'm talking about.
I'd find the "We Are The World" video from 1985's Live Aid. My mom watched Live Aid on July 13th and I was born on July 14th. It's the one thing she always links back to my birth.
Here, I found the video for you:

I think I must have been in the womb thinking, "Oooh, that's a world I need to get into"... LOL. I mean... Lionel Richie.. C'MON!
I think picking out some clothing that you long for is a great motivation!
Just don't be too hard on yourself, for some people it really is difficult to shed the pounds...hopefully you won't be one of us!
I hear ya about the pressures of having baby living on one side of your body. I constantly feel my baby's head under my left rib....the pressure and pain is killing me!!!
hey cass.....hope you are doing well! hang in there and all the best from everyone here! we miss ya.
