We had a fun day yesterday, but at this point, every day has become quite an exercise in patience for me! I am ONE day from my due date, and since I have never gone more than 39 weeks, I really expected to be settling into life with a newborn by now! The thing is, I feel GREAT! I have totally enjoyed this pregnancy and really believe that it's so much better to wait 'til the baby's ready to come, so I don't understand what the big deal to me is. It must be the fact that I really don't have any control over this! That and the ache I feel to hold her and see her chubby little face! So I walked up & down all the hills at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo all afternoon and took the stairs instead of the elevator, started dinner as soon as I walked in the door at home and was on my feet all day. I feel great, so what do I have to complain about? :) I'm trying hard...
We did have a lot of fun at the zoo with Grandma & Grandpa. The girls wore them out running all over the place - all those hills don't slow them down a bit! They loved feeding the giraffes (both fascinated & disgusted by their super-long slimy tongues - thank goodness for hand sanitizer!), watching the four baby lions play & wrestle, riding on the carousel, petting the goats in the petting zoo, playing in the play area and seeing the baby orangutan & super cute baby gorilla.
We came home and I made Erika's recipe for white chicken chili (Mike's favorite), a great salad & brownies while we watched the Broncos beat the Titans on Monday Night Football on our 9 foot screen in the basement. It doesn't get much better than that! Patience is a virtue... :)
