Officially Overdue

Well, I was due yesterday and guess what? No Baby! This morning I was checking some things on my computer and I noticed my countdown on my dashboard had changed......tell me what is wrong with this picture?



Apparently, according to my MacBook Pro she arrived yesterday. Wouldn't that have been nice! Taylor came and I didn't even have to go through labor. =)

I've still been busying myself with those long term sub plans. Yesterdays excitement hindered where I wanted to be with them by today. What excitement you might ask? You would think it had something to do with the baby but No....it was a tornado warning in our area. Now those of you who know me, know that extreme weather and Carrie don't mix all that well. The drama and excitement didn't come from the fact that I had to go into the basement and was completely freaked out but from my cat, Kuroy, who refused to go into his cage. Ten minutes and lots of tears and crying on my part, pleading with him, I finally shoved him in his cage and we all made our way down to the basement together. Our basement is partially unfinished so the cats had to be in their cages when we were down there. After about 45 minutes when the tornado warning had been lifted and the severe thunderstorm had passed we made our way back up to the main level and the cats were released. You would think OK, end of drama. NO! Unfortunately not! Tristan our other cat who went in his cage very willingly decided to discipline his brother for his behavior. So the rest of the evening, I was faced with Tristan chasing his brother around the house, trapping him in every corner, growling, hissing, and swatting at him. He was even like that with Chris when he came home. I guess he thought it wasn't fair for his pregnant mom to be left alone during the storm. While I appreciate Tristan being protective of Taylor and myself, it was a bit much! Makes me wonder what he will be like when Taylor actually arrives.

Needless to say after that ordeal I needed a stiff drink, but settled for some donuts instead. I put off the sub plans, which is what I'm about to get started on again now, and relaxed for the rest of the evening. I'm hopeful that something will get started in the labor department soon, but realistic that I may be headed for being induced. That will be determined by whether I make it to my next appointment on Wednesday the 18th.

Hope everyone has a fun weekend planned and they are enjoying their summer vacation. It's hard to believe that school and the end of summer is coming up so fast!!!
