Well, I'm officially full-term now and baby Max's organs should all be fully developed and ready for the this fascinating world. We have 20 days left until my due date and I am convinced that someone else is now controlling my body. Seriously, the things that are happening now days are things I refuse to take responsibility for.
For instance, tonight, while cooking spaghetti carbonara for dinner, I was shaking some pepper into the dish and just like in a cartoon, I sneezed my head off. That's not the weird thing though. The weird thing is that when I sneezed, I totally peed my pants. Yep, enough pee to make me change my jeans. That's just ridiculous. So, dinner was put on hold so I could run upstairs and make a costume change. I made Christian aware of my little incident and he insisted I share it with you guys. He also insisted that I let you all know of another bodily function that I refuse to take responsibility for. We were laying in bed the other night and he was singing some hilarious little song he made up and it made me laugh really hard and I all of sudden sounded like a fog horn. I'll let your imaginations figure out what I'm talking about there. Mind you, in the FOUR years that Christian and I have been together, that has only happened ONCE before.... ON ACCIDENT! Of course, he thought it was absolutely hilarious. Ugh, seriously... what else is to come? This is craziness.
I figured you'd all get a kick out of my pregnancy woes. So, you're welcome. :)
For those of you who have read Jenny McCarthy's hilarious pregnancy book, "Belly Laughs", or who have had these pregnancy symptoms on their own, you know exactly what I'm talking about. She is soooo spot on! haha
Anyway, I head back to the doctor tomorrow for my weekly appointment and I'm guessing it will just be another routine visit. I'm starting to have more and more Braxton Hicks contractions and I'm feeling more and more pressure down there so I'm hoping I'm progressing! I'm not having any major pains or anything so I'm assuming it's all good. I REALLY don't want to go late and have to be induced! I also can't wait for Mom (soon-to-be-known-as "JuJu") to get here! I'm so excited to see her and for her to be the first family member Max will meet! Woohoo! I really wish we were closer to the whole family so we could have people come see us in the hospital but that's not possible so we'll just work it the way we can! We have internet access in the hospital so we'll be available on Skype! So, if you guys want to see Max live and in color, get your Skype accounts ready and find me on there. My Skype name is "Chrissi Jenkins" and Christian's is "Christian Jenkins". Easy enough to remember, right?
Well, I hope all of you have a fantastic week and I hope this little post helped give you a little giggle to start your week off right. haha Talk soon!

Good morning to a short week! :)
Good morning everyone! I hope all of you had a great holiday weekend and had good weather. Christian got back last Thursday from his last trip before the baby and we had a pretty low-key weekend. It was a really pretty few days but it was COLD! The high Sunday was about 29 degrees. Yikes! But, I'm not complaining because most of the days have been full of sunshine and no snow! I'm just hoping this isn't the calm before the (snow)storm.... specifically any storm on the day that I have to go have a baby! This winter has been pretty mild so far and my friend Sharon, who is from here, says that they sometimes go a few years without snow. So, here's hoping 2012 is one of those years. :)
So anyway, this weekend, like I said was pretty low-key. Saturday Christian cooked his famous lasagna all day (it takes forever) and then we went over to our friends' house (Aiji & Sharon) to watch the sad Saints game and then half of that awful Denver game. Christian works with Aiji and we have a great time with them.... they're super fun.
Sunday was just a day at the house. We had to have the toilet replaced in the nursery because it's an older one and wasn't working properly so John (husband of the woman who owns our house) was over for a few hours working on that. While that was happening, I was going through another one of my "nesting crazes". I organize and reorganize stuff all the time. I've been cleaning everything lately. It's wild. Not that I wasn't cleaning a lot before but now I'm doing things like every other day that maybe I would normally do once a month. haha So, now I'm worried that I'll get everything super clean and when Max gets here I'll just have to sit back and watch all my hard work go downhill. haha Oh well, I'll figure it all out.
So, a little update on pregnancy/baby. Max is still doing great and moving around like crazy. I feel/see his little feet poke out all the time but I can't really see any definition. He gets hiccups a lot so hopefully he'll get the hang of breathing soon. I was getting some pretty bad heartburn but that has pretty much stopped. I stopped drinking orange juice every morning and that helped a lot! So, we'll see if the heartburn myth that he'll have a lot of hair rings true! And as far as pregnancy goes.... Um, I'm over it. haha I'm 35 weeks and two days and this little guy couldn't come soon enough. Of course, I want him to develop as much as he needs to but as soon as he's ready, I'm just waiting! I've had a fantastic pregnancy and haven't really had anything to complain about but I'm just getting uncomfortable now. I feel fat, I can't bend over, none of my "cute" maternity clothes really look cute anymore, and I want my old body baaaaaacccckkkk! haha Oh well, soon enough, right? It's all for a fabulous cause. :) I need to seriously cherish this time and take advantage of my solitude. It's hard to relax though because I'm so anxious about everything!
Speaking of body.... we had our maternity photos taken this past Friday here at the house. I can't wait to see them! There are some really cute poses and ideas that we tried to recreate. She's supposed to send me a log-in to an online gallery of them within 10 days so I'm anxiously awaiting that! It was SOOOO cold outside and we actually did a few outside shots and poor Christian was in a t-shirt and jeans and I was wearing jeans, a tank top and a VERY thin cardigan. So, we were laying on the ground shaking from the cold while trying to smile and make a cute picture. haha It was quite entertaining. Hopefully they turn out good.
Well, that's about it for now. Have a great week, everyone!
