Grounded from Work!!!

I went for my weekly appointment on Thursday morning. Since I am considered High Risk, I had yet another ultrasound to make sure Baby Jones was still okay and more importantly, head down. He was and has repositioned himself for his grand entrance into this world. The part I am getting worried about is that he already measures approximately 7.5 lbs!!!! Ewww and Oucccchhh is all I can think of. After the ultrasound, I was off to wait on Dr. Vick and his "evil exam"............... I am 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Not real sure what all that means except that I think I am on my way to having a baby. Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After the exam and a look at my feet, aka Cankles, I was told that Friday would need to be my last day at work. I cried. I wasn't prepared to be grounded. I was determined to work up until the last possible moment. Again, something I have no control over!! Is someone trying to tell me something? I think so. I am learning to let life happen............. one day at a time!!
So yesterday was my last of school for a while. I am officially on Maternity leave. My kids were expecting any day to be my last day, so they were okay with news. Many of them were sad. I just hope I don't get bored waiting on this kid to arrive!!!!!
My 8th Grade Girls gave me a surprise party ---- here are the pics.

Jerry and I have a few plans for today. He is going to finish pressure washing my house, the boys and Kathy and Kamry are coming out for yard and house work, and then digging up the yard to see where my leak is at!! I think we are all nesting, waiting for the baby to get here.
