I'm a balloon!!

I officially only have 6 days left until my due date and let me tell you, I am so ready to have this kid!! My belly is so big that i can't hardly bend over to tie my shoes, my ankles (or should i say what ankles?) are so swolen it's worse that cankles. Michael calls it Elephantitis!! My hands go numb sometimes because they are so swolen fat! Man it kind of sucks what babies can do to you. Other than being uncomfortable can i just say that it is soooooo good to be home. I have missed so much time with Emily and i love to hear every funny little thing she has to say. In fact... as i am typing right now she just asked me... "Mommy, guess what?" and i said what, then she said back to me... "Chicken butt!!!" Yeah, she learned that at my sisters house... the first time she said it to me was in the car on the way home from a store and i could not stop laughing. What 2 year old knows that that is funny? Earlier today when i was cooking dinner i would bend over to give my back some relief and she asked me, "Mommy is the baby kicking you so hard and it hurts?" i said, not right now, just my back hurts, so she went and pulled over a chair from the kitchen table and stood up on it behind me and started rubbing my back saying i'm sorry that your back hurts mommy, oh i'm sorry. She can be sweet :)

Stress...

So I am officailly at that point where I am SSSSSOOOOOO done being pregnant!! I have 3 weeks to go, but every day I tell myself that this is the day... and then nothing happens. Any one have any ideas of what will enduce labor? i'm just kidding. :)
Life is just crazy right now. I am still working full time. Michael was put in as the 1st councelor in the bishopric, is going to school full time (noon to 8:30pm) to get his AMP licence so that he can work on the engine of the airplane and then works from 9pm to 6am thurs. night through sunday night. i'm really thankful for my mom right now... she is letting us borrow her car until the 17th (my official last day of work), but after that we will only have our one car and Michael has it pretty much all day. So I am kind of nervous about going into labor, because if Michael is in school he'll get in trouble for leaving... it's FAA regulated!!! Stress! Stress! Stress! I'm not supposed to have Stress!!
Other than all of that I'm really excited for fall. I love all of the color change and the smell of people starting to use thier fireplaces and I can't ever get enough of the crisp fresh air...mmm. What a year!!
