Going to Disneyland does not induce labor

Went to D-land for my birthday- got a fun card worth $72 (yippie) and then promptly spent it on nothing baby, bleah.

We did renew our passes- as did my mom, who offered to come babysit anytime we wanted a sitter when we went to Disneyland, as in, taking Alex to Disneyland and she'll hold him while we ride.:) We went and ate at Cafe Orleans, rode Jungle Cruise and It's a Small World (you get on anything else 38 1/2 weeks pregnant, lol). The fireworks were cool, for the most part- I really liked parts, and didn't care about other parts. But I was also tired.

Eric and I are getting bills paid off, yay! It's been so hard worrying about finances and, well, right now, we're going to be OK.

My list of stuff is still super long- after my doctor's appointment, I decided I needed to finish my labor bag. Well, I guess if I needed to run, it's got a lot on it, but I need to pull everything out so I can figure what I've put in it, haha. And then finish- everyone has been commenting on a 'focus' for labor. Well, my Glamour will, in theory, keep me occupied, either in labor or if I decide to read it sometime in the hospital. For an actual 'focus' I need something Alexander-y. Like, the outfit we'll be bringing him home in


I also have a change or two of clothes. I may want to get something else besides a gown on, I may not. Plus something to come home in. Plus shower stuff- I need to put the little point and shoot back in, I had it in and pulled it for a photo op. Plus extra batteries:)

Eric has a magazine, and I'm packing him some snacks- trying to get some stuff in there for me after labor as well snack-wise. Eric will be throwing pillows and blankets in a bag if I don't- he's probably crashing at the hospital and the bench for the daddy looks cold and uncomfortable :(
Today has been a grumpy day- had a nice time last night at one of my favorite restaraunts with Grandma, Eric and my parents, but then just couldn't sleep. And then was up early taking eric to work, and so on- I've been really lucky with everything, but I can't handle meltdown days. I can't control my feelings enough when I have them.
