23 days...

Just over 3 weeks now from my due date and I feel like hell.  I just stopped working this past Thursday and have felt like crap since!  I thought stopping working was supposed to make me feel better!  I guess work was a distraction for me...

I've been having random contractions the past few days, lots of sharp pains "down there" and really bad headaches and backaches.  Last night was rough, I was up most of the night trying to find some form of comfort.  I ended up using the heating pad and taking 2 Tylenol PM's.  Didn't help much though, I was still up at 6:30.  Tylenol PM doesn't work like it used to I guess.  I actually took 1 around 11:30 am today to try and get a bit more rest.  I ended up sleeping for 3 hours.

I have an appointment tomorrow morning with the high risk doctor, so I'm hoping we'll see how things are going in there.  I'm really hoping she's face down, last appointment she was sunny-side up and I really don't want back labor!  I'm also curious to see how far down in my pelvis she is, feels like I have a bowling ball between my legs lately!  If all is good, this should be my last appointment there (keeping fingers crossed!)

My sister and Brian are leaving tomorrow for Vegas to get married!  I made her bouquet yesterday, it looks so pretty!  I wish we were able to go, but there's just no way.  I'll be there in spirit though!  I can't wait to see the pictures, I know Kim will take about a million!  Here's to wishing them a beautiful wedding day!

And that's about it for now... feels like a contraction is coming...

35 weeks 3 days

Less than 5 weeks until my due date!  Hallelujah!  I am so ready to meet our little girl- and some days  it feels she's just as ready!  I've been having lots of Braxton Hicks lately along with some pain and cramping.  The swelling of my feet and ankles has gotten a lot worse!  I can't even wear shoes anymore... just slippers and flip flops.  Thankfully I only have 4 more days of work left, I can hardly wait!  I just need some rest and comfy clothes!

I've been washing/folding baby clothes for what seems like FOREVER.  The nursery is a slight disaster area at this point.. there isn't a place for everything and everything is not in it's place!!  It'll get there eventually, I hope so anyway!

I've devoted today to doing nothing at all.  I worked all week, 8 hour days with a hospital tour and child birth class thrown in there too.  I'm beat!  We may go out with the gang tonight though, I'd really like to, but we'll see if I can gather some energy to go!  I'm hoping maybe an afternoon nap will do the trick.
