Finally! I've amde it to the third trimester..i'm starting to kind of get the feelings i had in the beginning of the pregnancy..i really don't feel like i've bonded with my child at all..it still seems like this little alien inside me..i'm just hoping that when she's born this will go away...i've been highly amused by her antics in my tummy and i get excited when she does somthing new though

Monday, 19 Nov
well today has been a bad day for me with moods...first i had to get up at 7 am and take my 24hr jug-o-pee to the hospital lab'cause they found protien in my urine as i'm signing in i hear someone hysterically sobbing on my way out of the er i see the lady on the phone notifing relatives that somone died in a fire...of course me being very sensitive i have to do everything i can to not start hysterically sobbing as well..i waited until i got to the car...then tonight i had to go to wal-mart which always pisses me off..to get wood glue so my husband could fix a drawer before i got pissed and broke that and a roll of quarters for laundry....well i walk in i get pissed off because there's way too many people in my way...i don't care if there shopping doing there own thing when i'm irritated everyone is in my way..my 8-yr old is nagging she wants to go look at fish..i manage to scare the boy at the paint counter by yelling at her right as he turns around...after trying to walk around and look at baby stuff i decide i better get out of there before i get into a fight with someone..check out is fine..except once again i yell no at my child for continuing to nag and interrupt because she wants a fusion juce..well i go to the little station where you get a roll of quarters...the lady is talking to someone and gets a smirk on her face and tells me they don't do that..well i hit the roof i was so pissed off i was ready to punch her when i tell her i have gotten them here before she asks by who which pisses me off even more..like i'm supposed to remember a specific person...i just walked away while spewing curses at wal-mart for not providing me with my roll of quarters..as i'm walking out i'm trying not to start crying all the while getting even more pissed off because now they made me want to cry..so as i debate all the way home to go back and punch the bitch i start crying and have to stop at the gas station to get my quarters ..i sent the kid in so i wouldn't get pissed off at anyone else.

34.1 wks suupposedly i `m ind of hoping my and dr. calculation is wrong..since i had 2 periods in the mo. of april a normal one starting the 1st and a light very short one starting the 26..it `s a little confusing..i remember i did tell this to my dr and the intake nurse whn i first found out and they just said we `ll go with the second date to avoid confusion or something...but if i got pregnant after the first cycle that would put my at term which is what i `m measuring and would also explain some of the discomforts i `m experiencing nausea all day long nothing helps and i can `t eat...my sudden burst of energy yesterday having to get organized for the baby and also i know the baby `s head is engaged because i can feel her resting on my pelvis and everytime i get up it feels like i have to pee even if i just peed...we `ll see what happens...this is great timing were in the middle of a snow storm!

well i packed my bag for the hospital today it wasn `t as bad as i thought it was going to be i just need to get some last minute stuff..i decided to pack all my babies hats because i didn `t know which one i wanted to put her in and the package of socks because they are so small i don `t want to lose them..i packed a couple outfits and some undershirts and of course my clothes..i realized one of the reasons i didn `t want to pack is because i don `t know how to pack light..but i managed resisting temptation to pack mine and the babies whole closet...hopefully tonights the night!

37 weeks- last night i had a weird dream and kind funny..for some reason the past week or so i `ve had the recurring dream i `m bleeding well last night i had another one..it started out me and webby were driving through wendy `s getting a frosty( he doesn `t even drive let alone eat ice cream)when all of a sudden i feel this gush of fluid like my water had broke i think i said it was my water but anyways it wasn `t it was blood... so of course webby strts speeding to the hopital ( we were in marion in which they don `t have a wendy `s) he `s speeding down e. post rd. when i strt looking for my phone to call bj and jenny and tell them we are on our way to the hospital.. i think she asks if my water broke and i said yes and i was bleeding i rememebr looking down and it was streaming down the seat i can `t remember being panicked or anything.. we get to a red light and for some reason i get out of the car and webby leaves me there..i think at this point he was asleep driving..anyway i yell at the passing car and tell them i need to get to the hospital..at this time the bleeding stopped and was drying to the back of my pants which i felt embarrased about..so i get in and tell them something all i know at this time webby is sleeping behind the wheel and we try to wake him up by throwing various things at the car.. we finally make it to the hospital and there is some other lady who wasn `t bleeding going in at the same time well they check her in ahead of me so i have to wait anyway i finally get checked in and i `m in the bathroom and someone tells me something about vampirism is the reason i was bleeding..i can `t rememebr..then i woke up or the dream ended ..something

i realized why i have been having anxiety..obvously webby and medea don `t help..but the main reason as i `m at the end of my pregnancy i noticed i worry alot more about going into labor or somthing happening and i `m not going to realize what `s going on..i know that `s silly and i `m pretty sure i `ll know when it `s time but i `ve so many false alarms i worry will i know when it `s the real thing before it `s too late..what if we don `t make it to the hospital..what if i have no gas in my car and it `s the middle of the night and we can `t get ahold of anyone..is medea going to have a fit if we have to wake her in the middle f the night...mostly though i `m just really anxious waiting..i find my self questioning every little thing `is this it ` `am i finaaly going into labor `..but no always braxon hicks or false labor.
Tuesday, 8 Jan
