7 days... no wait 6 days!

I missed yesterday's very exciting post for 7 days. And when I say exciting I mean NOT exciting.
I really do feel like I am being more productive while playing the waiting game.
Our dishwasher hasn't been washing our dishes and yesterday after 2x of running it with the same dishes, I gave in. I called to have the guy come fix it, and that right there was faster than I would ever do it normally. Usually, I complain that it isn't working for a good 2 or 3 weeks before calling to have it fixed. So the guy came and now it works much better. But in the meantime, I had to wash all of our dishes by hand, which was out of control. The sink was full of dirty dishes and the stove was full of pots and pans (I don't really know how one meal makes 42 dirty dishes, but it does around here) and then I had to empty the dishwasher to wash all of those. Then last night I decided to make a new roasted pepper, chicken mac & cheese. It sounded soooo good, it had poblano peppers, chicken, pepperjack and white chedder cheeses. So I started that at 4:40... It came out of the oven about 5 minutes before The Office started at 8! And then it didn't even look good, so I couldn't eat any. I had a bowl of cereal instead. Travis ate a little bit and I tried his. It tasted just like the Complete Meals that they sell for $2.50 at the grocery store. I was so annoyed, but mostly tired from standing up all day. I will never make that gross stuff again. Even if it was delicious. That took way too long for me. It did help me have a really good nights sleep, though!
I also went to my 39 week checkup yesterday and was pretty much dilated and effaced the same as I have been for the last 2 weeks. I made an appointment for my due date and then we schedule inducing from there. So hopefully I just won't have to go to my appointment next week. Carson came 2 days early and Dr. Beck said typically, that is pretty much what to expect this time. See I figured Carson came 2 days early lets have this one come 1 week early. But that is ok. I was measuring a little bit small but he said everything looks good and the baby keeps getting lower. While he was measuring me the baby kept kicking his hand. If this baby is feisty like Carson was, or even half as feisty as Carson was, we are in for a treat!
In other news, I put Carson down for a nap yesterday at 10:30 and he played and laughed and talked to himself in the dark until about 1:15 (that was the last time I heard him talking) and then finally fell asleep until about 3. That kid just cracks me up so much. He didn't put up a fight, he wanted to lay down. He loves his room and he loves his crib. I think we will let him sleep in his crib forever!
So for today, with 6 days left I got my hair some much needed highlights and a little trim. I had a little girls night out with Trisha and we went to Streets of New York and shared an appetizer that was very tasty. Then we went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was so much fun. I can't believe how uncomfortable I was in the movie, though. I think I just get more uncomfortable as the day goes on, with all the food and swelling and everything, it all builds up. I had a good day and felt spoiled with all of the stuff I got to do. Thanks, Trisha, for going out with me.
How I prepared for baby today: I just tried to keep things clean so baby can come home to a clean apartment(like he will care... or know).
