I haven't become TOO impatient yet because like I mentioned before, it will be nice to get some of Jeff's tests out of the way, and my mom isn't flying in till the 10th. And I NEED my mom's help!!!! I don't know how long I can go without her here. But by the time this weekend rolls around, if it ever does, I think baby Wegener and I are going to have a little chat. :)
So far I haven't really had any contractions, I have had cramps which I guess people say is contractions, but nothing overly exciting. In the meantime I plan to enjoy the few days of sleeping in that I have left, and will continue to get my house in order. Did I mention I am done with work?? I took this week off so I could just relax and get a few extra things done before this baby makes his arrival. Plus, I wasn't too keen on the idea of going into labor while I was working. So yes, I am going to enjoy whatever time I have left of no work and no baby. And no matter what anyone else might say, I would TEN TIMES take the end of my pregnancy over the first. The first trimester was just down-right miserable.
My coworkers surprised me with a cake and balloons on Friday. So nice of them...
I have been keeping myself busy with a lot of little sewing projects. I have a few more little blankets to sew and then I am packing up my sewing machine and putting it away for a while. Time to take a break. Here are a few of the things I have accomplished over the past few weeks...
I finally finished the diaper bag! A lot of you may think it is girly... but I don't care, it's for me, not the baby!
Wipes cases and burp cloths... one to go with each of my diaper bags. :)
A couple of the blankets I finished...
And some bibs and burp cloths...
I'm really glad I've gotten into sewing while I've been out here. Not only does it give me something to do when I am bored, I actually really enjoy doing it!I wasn't going to post another picture of me, but for journaling purposes I decided against my better judgement. Don't make fun of me though... my belly is HUGE! If you compare my last photo to this one you will see that it has almost doubled in size! Or at least that's what if feels like!
Sadly, it appears as though my butt has gotten bigger. I don't know if that's just because it's making up for the weight in my front or if it's just the way I am standing. Either way... I don't like it.And as far as Jeff goes... between school and basketball, he seems to keep himself pretty busy. Unfortunately, this semester is a lot more demanding than last semester. I am just hoping it slows down a bit after this baby comes. If not, I suppose I can handle a couple more months of craziness and then it's off to Utah to visit the fam! I CANNOT wait!
Jeff is on a Rec-bastketball team and has games every Tuesday night, as well as Church ball games every Saturday morning... (both of which he is undefeated). Oh but don't think that stops him from going to play Thursday nights as well with his friends! That boy LOVES basketball! There isn't a whole lot he would give up for a game of basketball so I always know when he does that he must REALLY LOVE me. :)
Well that's about it for now. Hopefully my next post will be a big announcement... HOPEFULLY. Oh and did I mention we have finally compromised on two names!??? It's a miracle!! But according to Jeff, it will be a game time decision, so even though I know you are just DYING to know, you will have to wait. haha. Until next time.....

He'll be here soon! I'm sure of it :) I'll be checking your blog for a big announcement the next couple of days. Your diaper bag is really really cute! And I agree, you are the one carrying it, so it can be, SHOULD be a little girly? Why would you want a dude-y purse?
I am very impressed with your sewing skills. I will be sending something your way either with your mom or in the mail. You look like you are ready to pop out a 10 lbs baby. (don't take that in a bad way) but you should be in labor anyday now i'm thinking! good luck!
Pretty impressed with all your projects. I swear pregnancy gives you a huge boost of crazy homemaking energy. Harness that all you can!! Anyway, love the red and black diaper bag! What's this second one? I want to see!!
Good luck, the baby will be here before you know it!
Come baby Wegener!!!!! And you still look beautiful by the way! So excited for you guys!
I don't know about that worse at the first part. Don't get me wrong, it pretty much sucked but I HATED not being able to sleep comfortabley. Plus, I thought It was hard to remember what one stage was like when you weren't in it anymore. But I believe you. I think it's weird how extremely different every woman's pregnancy is when the end result it the same.
Again, I'm very impressed with your sewing skills. Can we make an agreement for you to teach me someday??! And I really like your diaper bag! Looks familiar! ;) but I'll just take that as a compliment. ;) haha
I hope Baby Dub waits for Grandma Wendy too. It is quite a lot to take in! Then again, I survived by myself so I guess it's possible. (If she's not there I mean) You guys will be fine!
Can't wait to "meet" him. Through pictures that is. :)
You look great! I don't think your belly is that big! You look cute! (even if you don't feel that way!):) I bet mine beats it at this point and you are due..well, now! Good luck! * * *Here is some labor dust from the labor fairy!* * *
Kimi, you look gorgeous. And I am beyond impressed that you made all of that stuff yourself. Seriously, you sewed your OWN diaper bag? I bow down to you.
Will send good cervical vibes your way!
I love all the stuff you sewed Kimi! Who cares if it's girly? My diaper bag has neon colored stars all over it (so not boyish in my opinion) and I love it! You also look so cute! Big belly and all :) Can't wait to see the big announcement and find out what his name is!

Can't wait to see pics you better post them asap!! Good luck! Love ya!!
All those cute things you made make me want to have a baby!!! Almost anyways... It'll be awhile before we start thinking about catching up to everyone! But you really do look great, and we're very excited for you guys!!!!
I can't wait to see your baby! All your stuff is so cute! I bought a pattern a long time ago for a purse but still haven't made it. Looking at your stuff makes me want to get on it. Can you send me your address.
