03-6-2009 - 38 weeks... the up side...

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

Besides being very tired and not having any energy at all. I get short of breath just walking a little does any one else experience this? Other than that and all the other physical little annoyances. and my husband issue. I am VERY excited about this baby!!! I woke up the other day literally singing my first day of maternity leave! I was singing "Good morning" My the Beatles. I have everything ready and sooo cannot wait to take care of this baby!!! It's funny I must love something about my husband b/c I already love this baby sooo much. How can that be that a man who treats me so bad can give me a baby and I don't care I am so excited about seeing and holding and kissing my sweet little boy. I know he will look just like Will too, I'm prepared for all that! I have a ton of crap going on in my life and don't know what to do but I know I will atleast have a few days of calm where I can just hold and feed my baby and He will probably wake me up all night long and remind me to do it too!!! LOL! :-) It's little things, I can't wait to wrap him in his receiving blankets. I also can't wait to feel a little lighter b/c at this point I am having a hard time lugging around the extra weight this way. I know I will be healing from the delivery but atleast I will have an easier time walking and gettin gout of bed, unless heaven forbid a c section were to be in order. Women who have csections have my deepest sympathies with their healing process, I couldn't imagine. Oh the other day I took my kids to see the 3-D movie "UP" we loved it! IT is such a great movie! Even if you don't have kids I think everyone should see that movie it is so cute! I think Will will be forced to come to the hospital b/c He has to watch the kids and my son and daughter will want to see me so he will probably sit in the hospital room with me and the kids until pushing time and then go out with the kids to a waiting area. My 2 kids ESPECIALLY my 13 y/o boy will not be allowed in my room while I push. I thinkt he kids would be traumatized LOL! So that is one good way to ensure that the fake flakey cheating hubby isn't inthere causing uneeded stress while I push. I'm very worried about the pushing part but other than that, I know they will give me an epidural and I am hoping that night I will feel good enough to let them take baby to the nursery for a few minutes while I take a shower. I remember feeling so dirty after I gave birth last time, SO In my suitcase I packed soap shampoo, conditioner, and tooth brush and toothpaste, the hospital will supply towels. But we will see, if I even remember. I pack my kids each a present for congratulating them on their new baby brother and it involves a game so while I'm pushing, or after he's born depending on the time everything happens they will get to open their gifts. I also game my son a room make over since I have a brandnew nursery for his brother his sister got a room amake over and it has been years since he had new linens I wanted him to no feel left out. Will is my son's step son so I can imagine he feels a little pushed aside and I'm trying everything to make sure my kids know how special and loved they are. OK Well, That is my little rant about 38 weeks completed, I just had to balance out everything, I couldn't leave it negative like that. I think when I am tired I get a little negative so now that I am fed, and hydrated and pain free and awake, I figured I would post my more positive thoughts. I love you guys! Hope everyone is doing well. I am one of the girls who talks a lot, on here. and probably says waaaaay more than I should ever post on a public website but I think it will be ok. I have received a lot of support from this website. It seems not many people are on here for very long after they have their babies/ And I think there is a baby part of the site I will have to look. Anyway, I am about to leave for a sonogram for measurement and weight... how they can do that by sono, I will never know but I will probably write a little something about that too later. then at 2:00 I have a cervical check and doppler check of baby's HR then I run to work to take care of a few things for an hour and pick up my paycheck and then I will deposit it and decide if I want to pay bills or use the maternity leave to leave this summer. I don't know how I would get an apartment defaulting on a home loan though. ??
