Oh how I love getting a great deal!!

I made my first Craigslist purchase tonight and I'm so excited! I found a couple selling a brand new Baby Bjorn carrier - in the box - for $25!!! I had registered for the exact same one - which costs $79.99 - at BabiesRUs.

So while Mike is at the movies watching Terminator with some guys, Shelby and I headed down Cedar Road to pick up the Baby Bjorn. The couple selling it was really sweet and it was in GREAT shape! So then to top off the good find of the night, we stopped by Bruster's Ice Cream where I got a Maple Walnut Waffle Cone and Shelby enjoyed her free Doggie Sundae! I even got a call from Elsie and got to hear all about how she and Jocelyn are doing. I may not have had my feet propped up like the doctor said, but it was a fun night and now I'm going to go pop in a chick flick, prop up my fat ankles and call it a night!

Oh, and for the quick doctor's appointment update: Apparently my cervix is soft but closed. Well... since my doctor thought 1 cm last week, but the other doctor thought closed this week... I'm somewhere between closed and 1 cm. A bit of a bummer... but really, these things don't even mean anything. I could still go into labor tonight or sometime in the next 5 weeks. :) Stay tuned...

One fat ankle & One REALLY, REALLY fat ankle!

Tomorrow, BabyW will officially be full-term (37 weeks) and we're excited for him to come whenever he's ready! Well... actually we're hoping he'll come sometime between July 3-17th... or I guess this week would be okay too, but as much as we're "ready," I'm hoping he'll wait until July. My dad has to fly to Seattle June 29-July 2nd and then Mike's family leaves on July 18th for their cruise to Alaska! No pressure baby. :)

I'll be going to the doctor today and hope to hear that things are continuing to move forward and progressing. I'll also be hoping to find out that everything is fine with my super fat right ankle. It's weird. I actually have not had much swelling at all, but every so often, just my right ankle gets really fat. This time it's stayed that way for several days. I wouldn't think anything of it if both ankles were the same, but there's a significant difference. I did call the nurses line yesterday just to make sure I didn't need to be seen sooner, and she said as long as there was no pain or redness, I could wait until today, but that I need to stay off of my feet and lay on my left side. Well... that wasn't exactly possible yesterday as I had to work and then it was Justine's birthday and we had plans to go out to dinner for the night. But I did let Mike drop me off at the door and I am going to try really hard to just take it easy tonight after work. :) Happy Birthday Aunt Stiney. My "little" sister is really 27? Wow, when did we get so old?
