I really don't know where he comes up with this stuff!

So, operation (insert Mike Myers voice) "Get out of my belly" has officially begun. I'm 37 weeks and 2 days which means Thane has fully cooked. No doughy baby this time. Inserted toothpick, came out clean. The only problem is that now that I am off of bed rest and running circles Nathaniel has decided he likes it in there. Go figure.
Now, I realize that I aspired to be 40 weeks and miserable...but what I didn't realize is that I would be able to experience the miserable starting at 36 weeks. So, okay, have your laughs, keep praying that he stays in there as many have informed me they are doing- but know that I am not just gonna lay there and take it. :)
Today we went to the zoo and had a blast. I just love seeing things through Caleb's eyes. He was so excited today that the Tiger had feet, a head, and eyes JUST LIKE HIM! Then tonight we went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. As we were pulling into the parking lot, Caleb informed us that he didn't want to walk with us. Ben asked "well, who do you want to walk with". Caleb replied that he wanted to walk with a naked lady. (We both of course bust out laughing- which was Caleb's original intent.) Ben then replies that if he can find a naked lady in Wal-Mart, then he is welcome to walk with her. I told him that was silly and people don't go to stores without clothes on so he couldn't walk with a naked lady. He then became upset and said that "daddy said I could". Then what does Ben do? Naturally he agrees with Caleb again and repeats that if he could find a naked lady in Wal-Mart then he could walk with her. I think we might have a discussion after Caleb goes to bed tonight. What if there really were a naked woman walking around in Wal-Mart. I don't think I would want my child walking with her. I guess I just don't know where Ben stands on this issue. Maybe this warrants another poll.

You are a hoot! I love all of your little stories. I just might have to keep the prayers going. Not only for Thane's safe arrival, but for another 2 1/2 weeks of baking time :) (Hey! You asked for it!)

At least you win the award for longest Quimby pregnancy. I'll send the trophy out with mom.
