21-7-2009 - Just felt like blogging

My mood while writing this blog:
tired

I just felt like blogging for some reason. I'm 31 weeks & 4 days today! Overall i would say i've had a very easy pregnancy. I had m/s, but not too bad. I have gained a lot of weight, but i just look at it as a reason & motivation to FINALLY get my body to look the way i want since i have always been a little overweight. I can't wait to exercise & eat better! Sounds weird i know :) I have had my very tired days, pains, sleeping problems, & whatnot, but nothing so bad that i can't handle. I just started to feel huge & like i couldn't possibly stretch another inch, but at least i'm almost done baking my baby! He's been doing something weird to my cervix or something today, bc i keep getting sharp pains down there when he moves. I can't eat much anymore, but i make myself eat sometimes if it's been a while just to make sure he is getting fed :) I'm hoping we can finish his nursery next weekend. Hubby still has to paint his changing table & some shelves & hang up some stuff on the walls. I just want to get it done! It doesn't even really matter though since he's going to be sleeping in a bassinet in our room for several months since i will hopefully be breastfeeding. I want to pack my hospital bag next week also. I still have a few things to get though. I really hope he comes early (not too early) bc i just have this feeling he's going to stay in there as long as he can :) I really don't want to go past my due date! At least not by more than a few days at the MOST! He will come when he's ready though :) I'm kind of starting to worry about having a baby. Hubby probably won't be able to take off work more than a week if at all. We live 45 mins away from anyone i know & i'm so worried about something happening when i'm here alone with him. I live 3 minutes away from a hospital, but i guess it's just the 'new mom worries'. I plan on starting back to work 3 months after he's born also & we can't afford day care & i'm not leaving him with a stranger so i don't know what we're going to do about a babysitter especially since we live so far away from everyone. I don't think i would be able to put him in day care anyways bc of all the horror stories you hear about day cares. I just don't trust it espescially if you're child is too young to tell you if something happens to them. I have a dr. appt. tomorrow! I have a few questions this time & i wrote them down so i won't forget like last time :) I am hoping i will get another u/s before i'm supposed to deliver just to make sure he's in the right position & that everything looks good. I have yet ANOTHER blood test next week also. My dr. was trying to be funny saying he's trying to get me ready for the needles at the hospital...so not funny...i hate hate hate needles! UGH! I can't wait for Silas to be born though! I'm so excited & can't wait to meet him! It's going the be so overwhelming & the most AMAZING experience of our lives! Well i'm sure this blog is long enough already! Sorry :)

Hope your Dr. appointment goes well, let us know what they say. I am right with you on the feeling HUGE part and lack of a good nights sleep doesn't help us at all. I have concerns regarding day care - lucky for me my mother has agreed to the first three months of care, but I know that after the new year, I'll have to figure something else out. It is hard to trust anyone. I feel your pain. But, I have to work, so I will have to find a way.

Good luck at your appt. tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. I also hate needles, or I guess I wouldn't mind them so much but they can never find my veins so it is hard for them to do in one shot. I too can sympathize with the 'new mom worries'. They just started for me 2 weeks ago. I worry about everything from where I'm going to be when I go into labor, how I can continue working for over another month, and especially if I will be a good mom and figure out how to take care of my little girl! I know it doesn't do any good to worry, but it is hard not too. I'm sorry about the day care issues. Maybe you can work it out with some family to have them stay with you a couple of days during the week and then stay with then a couple of days. Will you be going to work full time?

Needles huh lol I think my body has just gotten so use to them that they don't bother me anymore,I think I got my blood drawn a total of 6 times while pregnant ...I feel like my baby is going to come before his due date,I hope not because I'm still in the process of getting things done like you...GL!

I hate needels also....I have told my hubby that I don't want an epidural because of the needle and everyone around me says you just wait, you'll be screaming for one....so I have kind of changed my mind and decided to have one ready incase I want one....
