But I am done. I am ready. I want Mya OUT NOW! Luis wants her out now, even the boys want her out NOW. Tonight Taye told me, "I want your baby appointment (his term for my midwives) to get baby Mya out now!" Me too.
Not only are we mentally ready, we are prepared in every other way as well. In case she is looking for proof, I have the following:
Exhibit A - a fully stocked freezer in the basement - full of spaghetti sauce, lasagna, chili, minestrone soup, beef stew, every kind of meat imaginable, some in marinades, one-minute chicken nuggets (soo delicious - healthy too, ha ha), hot dogs, frozen cookie batter, zucchini bread batter, blueberry muffin batter, and on and on and on.
Exhibit B - a fully stocked diaper drawer. We (well 'I' Luis is just getting dragged along for the ride) have decided to try cloth diapering this time. Thanks to the expert advice and generosity of my bestest friend, as well as a very nice lady on Freecycle, I have compiled an entire stash for this venture, and it only cost me about $50. Everything is clean and ready to use.
Exhibit C - a full drawer of cute baby clothes. Many will look familiar, we call those 'hand-me-downs,' but there are some new-to-us items in there as well, thanks to the Salvation Army's 50% off family days.
Exhibit D - a whole bunch of homebirth stuff. I just went off the list I was given, don't ask me what is up there!
Exhibit E - My favorite, the minivan. Plenty of room in there for three kids. Carseat included. (Obviously it was night time when I took this, I'll get a better picture later - its so shiny!)
I believe I have made a very strong case to prove that we are ready. As if that were not enough, I have some circumstantial evidence that now would be a good time for Mya to make an appearance. First of all, Dagny is going away in 2 days, and I don't want to face her wrath if I have the baby while she is gone. Secondly, Tia and I decided that it would be fun if we had a birthday in every month between our two families. The only months we are missing are April, June, September, November, and December. Notice I said SEPTEMBER, not OCTOBER. We already doubled up in March, lets not waste another month! Thirdly, just LOOK at me! Need I say more?
In conclusion, I think Mya should get out now because I'm the Mama and I said so!

LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This is an awesome post! You have won your case, the jury has decided in your favor, so I must be writing this while you are already having Mya!!!
Did you buy the same kind of prefolds as I have ? I noticed how beautiful they were! (only a cloth diaper freak says those kinds of things, but they are like fluffy beige fluffballs!)
Your belly is bustin at the seams! Ready to eat eggplant :) ?
Also, you should probably refrigerate that yogurt..
You are very observant, cloth-diaper freak. Of course I bought the same ones as you, they came so highly recommended! The yogurt container is empty, don't worry - its one of those mystery items they told me to have, but I don't know what its for...
For the record, Mya did not listen, and is still not here! I just knew she was going to be a difficult one.
What a fresh baby. Hmmm whatever could that yogurt container be for?? I can't wait to find out. Every time I write to you, I think, "She could be having that baby right now!"
What, was she sitting sideways?! HOLY COW!
OMG! I cannot believe I missed this photo!!!!
