Well, I'll officially be 34 weeks on Friday not today. 6 weeks left. Supposedly. I flip flop and sometimes I think I'll deliver early and other times I am positive he will be late. I'm feeling pretty ready for this little guy. My baby shower is next weekend and I'm sure I'll feel even more ready after that. I am looking forward to my mom, sister-in-law and two nieces coming out for the shower. They get in on Friday night and I probably won't be a very good host taking them anywhere exciting. My join paint has gotten a lot better but there is so much pressure from the baby pushing down that it hurts to walk a lot. I also get out of breath pretty easily. So I'm guessing we'll be hanging out at the house a lot. My mom's staying a few days after the shower to help out with stuff which will great.
I'm managing to work from home one day a week and it helps a lot. But my laptop bag is so heavy that the days I bring it home I am hurting by the time I get home. It doesn't bother me as much going in to work with it. I always feel considerably better in the mornings - probably from resting and being off my feet. I don't move around that much during the day but I feel so much better the days I work from home. Last night wasn't a good night - the pelvic pain was really bad. It felt like I was bruised and bending over hurt a lot. Of course when I was making dinner was the perfect time for a jar of olives to fall out of the fridge and break on the tile. I looked at it happening in slow motion and I almost cried. It was agony bending over to clean up the juice, glass and olives. They were kalamata olives too. :( I spent the rest of the night on the couch with a heating pad and only moved to go to the bathroom or go to bed. But this morning I felt fine. But back to work tomorrow.
We have our baby class at the hospital this Saturday. 8:30 - 4:00 - it's going to be a long day. I have a feeling Pete and I will be bored and making jokes but we will try and pay attention and learn everything we can. I have heard mixed reviews from these types of classes. Some people say it's a lot of common sense stuff and if you've read a book or a few websites, you'll already be ahead of the game. And others said it was definitely worth going to. I'll let you know what we think.

Not long now! This is exciting!
ReplyDeleteIf the baby class tells you one thing you didn't know, maybe it will be worth it. You'll probably already know a lot. Here are some tips I learned. You're supposed to change their litter like twice a day or something, and moisten their kibble with warm water if they seem reluctant to eat. Also, don't let your baby play with a toaster until it's a year old at LEAST! There you go, tips from the expert!
