His shirt WAS off.. I just forgot

How I could forget that? I'll never know. I blame it on being pregnant. Did you know your brain shrinks when your pregnant? It causes you to forget things.. Important things.. Like the fact that Hugh Jackman DID have his shirt off in the movie "The Prestige." There are actually 2 incidents where it is off, and I remembered one, but that wasn't exactly flattering.. If I say any more, it will kill the movie.. So I'm not.. But yes yes yes.. Hugh Jackman DID in fact remove his shirt.. And now I have to go... I have some daydreaming to do...
MMMmm.. Hugh Jackman with his shirt off.. :o)***

By the way.. My husband knows about this little issue I have with Hugh Jackman. He fully supports it. Wolverine is his favorite X-Men character. With good reason.. He's HOT!

Warm and Snuggly

I'm sure that's how my baby is... I mean, I am a pretty good heater, and I know he has to be snuggly, because I think I'm nearly out of room! He's still tucked away inside. My life has been consumed with waiting for labor.. Every time I have a contraction I think.. This is it.. It's starting... I even had regular contractions every 10 to 30 minutes the other night, so I folded my laundry and went to bed thinking for sure I would be awake in the middle of the night, but alas.. I woke up at 7:30am still pregnant, contractions gone...

Today I went to a movie to pass the time. I went by myself. This is a HUGE thing for me. Movies are a social thing, and I don't do "by myself" very well. When my husband is out to sea, I live on take-out and homecooked food. The poor guy is traumatized when he comes home because all I want to do is eat in a restaurant. I don't go out by myself. You would seriously think that after 4 years of marriage, I would be able to do that.. but nope. Today I did take a serious step though. I don't know why I didn't go to more movies this summer. I guess I am just silly. Too bad I didn't think of it before. I saw "The Prestige." Crazy plot twisted movie.. But it had Hugh Jackman in it, so I would have liked it no matter what.. Even though he stayed fully dressed throughout the entire movie. I was slightly disappointed.. He has lost his shirt at least in nearly every other movie I have seen him in, but not this time. =o)

Not Yet.

This is still the only picture I have of the baby. I'm still pregnant. I'm due tomorrow.. He has either decided when his birthday will be, and has it planned for the future, or he is still trying to figure it out. My husband is hoping for Halloween. I think that it is mean to wish your wife to be pregnant longer than the 40 weeks. He'll catch heck when he gets back for that. =o)

My horoscope was equally ominous today, but I won't post it. I know they are general, and if I was doing anything it would seem like it fit my life. That is the way they are written.. Plus, I know that they are completely different depending upon where you go.

This weekend was good... Friday I went to breakfast with my in-laws. We went to IHOP and boy did IHOP smell like bacon! It was good and fun, like it usually is...After that my mom got home, and we headed to walk around. She wanted to get something for lunch. We ended up at Old Chicago. It was around 2 so I ate a salad and dessert.. It had been a few hours since I ate, and I didn't eat anything heavy at IHOP... We were walking around the mall, and I walked by Gymboree and noticed that their little costumes/buntings were on sale.. I bought a beaver one for $8. It is very cute. Then we drove through Starbucks so I could get my decaf caramel machiatto, but I dropped my wallet on the floor just as my mom was ordering. She has trouble ordering anything there anyway, but when she saw me trying to reach my wallet around my ginormous stomach she started laughing so hard she could barely talk... We get to the window and the very confused barista lady was just as pregnant as me, and agreed that it wasn't nice to laugh. She is being induced tomorrow so I asked her if I could join her. I also told her about the awesome sale at Gymboree since her little one will be here early enough to wear it.

Saturday I visited a friend. I haven't seen her in a while, and it was nice to just sit and catch up and hang out for a while. The huskers played Texas and lost, but who cares. I was more worried about the snow falling. Yes, it snowed. I am not sure I am ready for the cold and the snow. I do wish that the baby would make an appearance soon because I am running out of clothes to wear. I do have some sweaters thanks to my sister-in-law. And I did buy two new pairs of maternity pants, figuring I'll still be wearing them for a while after the baby is born anyways.

Saturday night I was really tired so I went to bed early (earlier than normal.. I don't go to bed early).. but I woke up at 4 am to use the facilities, and couldn't go back to sleep. I was secretly hoping I was going into labor, but no such luck. We went to church, where I spent the majority of the time praying that 1) I wasn't going to pass out and 2) My water wouldn't break and 3) for help listening better. I felt horrible because I was having a terrible time paying attention. I was having contractions and really thought that I was going to have to leave. After I got home, I just laid down and tried to nap since I was up so early, but that didn't work. I was having backaches and other pre-labor issues, or at least I was hoping they were pre-labor related. We also visited my Great-Aunt. My mom is back at school and she was interviewing her about being.... Well, about being old to put it bluntly. It was interesting to hear everything she had to say, and heartbreaking at some points. Her husband was killed in Vietnam after having 5 kids and travelling all over the world with the military. I got home after that and did end up getting a nap. I needed it.

All in all, somehow it was a busy weekend without being completely exhausting. I want you all to know that there IS internet acceess at the hospital, so I plan on having my sister log on and at least post a one liner saying the baby is here. AFTER of course, I recieve a reply from my husband.. He gets an email first, and once I know he knows, then I'll tell the rest of the world.. After all, doesn't Daddy deserve to know first?

More Horoscopes

Okay... So either I am getting some major signs (I still haven't finished my laundry and a few other things, but I got the IMPORTANT stuff done) to get stuff finished while I can??

My tarot.com horoscope for today is:

These are intense times as you are being required to tie up loose ends while simultaneously thinking about what is ahead. Your future is rapidly arriving and the big question is whether or not you are ready to put your plan into action. Don't tip over the applecart by trying too hard. You have a much better chance of succeeding if you don't move too quickly.

This is beginning to be torture.. I think I'm going to quit looking at it.. =o) (yah, right!)

Horoscope

I don't buy into the whole horoscope thing.. But sometimes they crack me up.. And while I KNOW that this is general, and it could just mean that tomorrow is Friday and maybe I'll want to do something fun so I should get my "chores" done.. Being so close to my due date has made me start to freak out because if I go into labor I don't want to have a bunch of things left to be done... So.. Anyways, my point is that my horoscope has been awful to me lately, making me think maybe I am going to go into labor at any second, which makes the waiting worse..

This is my horoscope according to tarot.com today

Try to tie up as many loose ends as possible prior to the Moon's return to your sign this afternoon. If you have been withholding your true intentions, it's better to get them out into the open before beginning a new cycle of activity next week. Don't procrastinate; it may be more difficult to get as much done by tomorrow.

What am I to make of this? Do I need to begin running around and getting things cleaned up? Wash the final outfit I bought for the baby? Tell work NOT to send me anymore designs to complete? Perhaps I should whether this means I will go into labor or not.. But then I would be bored all weekend. =o)
