Mimi Made It

Mimi's reaction when we told her I was pregnant (over Memorial Day weekend 2008)! I love this picture!

My mom (aka Mimi) arrived today. Now the only thing we have to do is sit and wait for Little Bligh to arrive. Tommy and I went to the doctor on Monday morning, and unfortunately, it appears that the baby is very happy in utero. I am not dilated (maybe just a tad) and only 50% effaced. Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised, but I am now preparing myself to watch Saturday come and go without any action. My mom is convinced I'll go into labor right on time since there is a full moon on Saturday. She's crazy.

In the meantime, my mom and I will put the finishing touches on the nursery (I know I need to post pictures, but I am STILL waiting for the replacement furniture to arrive!), get pedicures, watch movies, and hopefully not go crazy in anticipation. I'll leave you with what I hope will be my last belly shot.

I am so glad to hear Mimi made it. She has been most anxious about being there in time. Ali, concentrate! You have done a great job of "blossoming"! Wish I could be there too for the big event. Hugs to everyone. Big Mar

Yay Mimi! Try doing some jumping jacks or something... ;) You're belly looks GREAT! I bet you can't even tell from behind. Can't wait to hear more in the days ahead! Maybe she's waiting for her new furniture before she makes her debute?

I am so excited for you! I can't wait to hear the news! Glad Midge is there with you. Isaac didn't want to come out either...Let's hope Gordita isn't as stubborn as he was;)

PS really excited to hear the name so I can stop thinking of her as a Taco Bell menu item;)

I love the Taco Bell reference! Too funny! Give Mimi a hug! We are waiting on news about Marissa. She was to go to the hospital yesterday. I'll keep yu posted. Keep us posted. I do think there is something to that full moon thing. You are in our prayers, Big Mar
