Well at 35 weeks I am only now just starting to get up in the middle of the night (twice a night) to pee! Finally. I've read alot about peeing at night and feeling the need to pee during pregnancy but never expereineced it until now. That's a good sign! It means the baby is 'engaged' and her head is pressing on my bladder. Weeeee. :) Looks like I have to start gearing up for work in the morning a bit earlier than I have been because summer is over baby. School starts in two weeks so our office is getting back on track with the 9am start time. Ugh. :P Oh well- it was fun while it lasted!
We have our second to last pregnancy class tonight. That's exciting. Next week is our last class and we finally get to check out the maternity floor and delivery and recovery rooms.
We typed up an email to send to family laying out our expectations for during labor and delivery but we're both having second thoughts about sending it now... I guess we just needed to type it up to feel like we got some of our anxiety out. We will probably still send it out but at a later date and after maybe another revision or two. It's hard because we love our families so much but we also need to state our needs so that nobody has hurt feelings about being there at certain times when we would like to be alone with our baby.
Kind of feel like we shouldn't even have to state this stuff but sometimes people just don't get it and get wrapped up in what THEY want not in what's best for you. That's just the way of the world at times.
Feeling pretty good! Saw an excellent video of a Kardashian giving birth and she did it so easily and so quietly- it inspired me to do the same. One of my students told me to watch it and I did and I'm glad I did!
Our basement is stinky. Too much rain... too much mold.. ugh. I have so many phone calls to make - to get our cars inspected, to get our pond repaired, to have our roof repaired, to get the insurance guy to come see our basement that was finished and has since been flooded... water can really damage things and it looks like its going to keep raining all week. Terrific! Our house smells like old crotch and cat pee from the mildew and mold that is festering now in the damp basement. Wow! Timing is everything!! Of course it had to happen right now. My husband's unemployment is now officially over. That means there is no income coming in right now except for my job and we only have a couple hundred dollars in savings left to pay the mortgage for September. I don't know how we are going to do this. I really don't.
I believe in my heart of hearts (can I sound any more naive?) that he will get a call back on a job in the next week or two... But of course that means that he'll be starting a new job a week before I deliver---- so what does that mean??? There goes the mommy daddy and baby bonding time out the window... again with the timing. Unbelieveable.
Oh well- can't do much except go with the flow....
