36+ weeks

Earlier today I had a blog post rolling around in my head. Right now though it would seem that pregnancy brain has kicked in and I can't remember what I wanted to write about for the life of me...


This weekend Tommy and I finally have our birthing/Lamaze class. It is all day on Saturday. Since we are an hour away from the hospital, we decided to stay up there tomorrow night so that we don't have to get up so early on Saturday morning. I guess you could say that this is our last little getaway sans baby. I'm looking forward to spending some time with Tommy. He has been working straight midnights for longer than I can remember now. He also works most weekends. This means that there is little time left for "us". It has not really been too bad until the last few weeks. I'm am really not able to do much at all once I get home from work. My feet have now become something that I no longer recognize. I pretty much come home from work and try to keep them up as much as possible. There is so much that needs to be done, but my body is telling me that I need to just slow down and take it easy.


Lil Dumpling is still fairly active despite the fact that she has to be out of room. I am down to weekly Dr. appointments and everything has been right on track at them. Our dogs seem to know that something is up. If I move an inch Barbie is on alert. The other day when I was walking around the yard with Remington. He came over to me and nuzzled up to my belly. He did that several times and then finally left me alone. I half thought that maybe I was going to go into labor soon because he NEVER does that. Alas, I did not. I guess everyone is very excited to meet the little one!!


I'll end with a picture of me that Tommy took today on my lunch hour. I don't look all that great, but hey I'm over 36 weeks pregnant so what do you expect?

let the countdown begin

According to my baby countdown timer there are only 40 days left until my due date. Um, how in the world did that happen? It seems like the weeks are going by so quickly now. Monday I have my last 2 week appointment. The following week I will start my weekly Dr. visits. It's starting to get real folks. Lil Dumpling is so active these days. Tommy gets a kick out of talking to her and feeling her intense kicks and rolls. All I can say is that I'm so excited to be a mom!! It will not be long now!
