Well, today marks 35 weeks, which is crazy! Everyone at school is talking about how big I'm getting and keeps asking my due date again because (based on how I look) they assume it's soon. One lady asked me about it one day and told me that she doesn't think I'll make it to my due date. The next day I saw her and she said, "You're still here!" I was like geez...I better not be THIS early! So while part of me is SO ready to be done with school and have our little baby here, I also want it to be closer to my actual due date so baby can be nice and healty and I can take off more time after Christmas break, rather than before. I also have had many people comment about us not finding out the sex of the baby. For a long time, I didn't think I'd be able to wait. There were also times throughout my pregnancy (like when other people find out what they are having) that made me want to know. But now, I am so excited that we didn't find out! It's also fun to see what people think it will be and have to wait and find out who was right. Oh! We got our monitor from Chris' grandpa which we played with already and figured out how it works. I was a little bit worried about the range, but it looks like it will work just fine! So thanks to Grandpa Bibb! (Soon to be great-grandpa)
As for how I have been feeling...I feel very pregnant. :) I've had some stomach issues, but nothing too severe. Most of my problems seem to bother me for a while, but then go away. However, I have been SUPER tired. Here is a glance at the nights in our household this past week: After school Chris and I have dinner and sit down to watch a TV show or something because I am exhausted. He makes a comment to me at the end of the show(which wakes me up) and I realize that I fell asleep. This usually happens around 6:30. Then, I go up to bed and within an hour am asleep. Then I wake up at 5:30 and do it all over again. I like sleeping though, so I'm ok with it..I just laugh about how ridiculous it is. So many of my coworkers and kids are sick though, so I figure my body is very busy right now...you know, trying to grow a baby and stay healthy and all that so I might as well let it rest! Last night, however...makes me almost feel like the baby is here. Every few hours I woke up and was awake for 30 minutes or an hour before I was able to fall back asleep. Don't worry, I was still in bed for almost ten hours, not to mention the sleeping I did during the TV show. :)
We have completed a lot of the necessary things, which is good because now I'm too tired to do anything. We did our childbirth class, which was 5 weeks. We are preregistered for the hospital and have written our birth plan. We are just waiting to wash the clothes until it's a little bit closer so they don't get all gross before the baby is here and I have to pack my hospital bag. That's about it though! We are excited and are thankful to have friends and family who are excited with us! So thanks! :)
Oh! I almost forgot...at my last doctor's appointment, I asked about the Braxton Hicks that I mentioned last time and they said that the baby is facing down, so it was probably the baby sticking their butt up. Hehe, I thought that was funny. So I guess I haven't really felt Braxton Hicks...
