somehow for your brother I never wrote anything between 34-39 weeks...my guess being because I was getting so tired. ha then I didn't work full time or was trying to take care of a 4 year old. your poor brother has had a tummy bug then a cold and a viral ear infection over the last 10 days and mommy sliped in the rain and dislocated her knee and its been all sore and bruised since then. somehow you were compleatly unfazed...hope you have that same laid back personality outside of the womb.
We know you are head down for sure, I'm measuring on track week wise...I know where your butt is and you like to push one of your feet into my ribs several times a day. I think you have long legs. my belly is round round round and I think you are starting to move down a bit. The heartburn at night from 10:30-12:30am is something fierice...I feel like the berry flavored tums are just making it worse at this point and am going to try mint flavored ones. I will be excited if you have some hair! I'm still working full time although I am really tired at the end of the day and sore and pretty cranky. my body is getting really worn down. last night I cried for about half an hour because I'm overwhelmed at the thought of being pregnant for possibly three more weeks but also scared of taking care of you and your brother while all this wedding business is going on. if you could come just a few days early that would be great!
my last work day is next friday the 19th. next monday is a holiday and there is no school and next wednesday is a late start day...we can do it! This friday work is going to have a baby shower for us and two other teachers from school. dad's work gave him a shower last week. people are giving us a lot of hand me downs as "gifts" but not the kind you want a lot of the time...like a half used box of tea for mommy and a half used belly casting kit. Clothes that are super worn or out of seasson or really boy like. But dont' worry mommy and grandma jackie have made sure you have cute stuff. just had to cave in and say you will wear pink at first. We are all set up and ready for you...even have some newborn size diapers. Oh maybe need to get some diper cream although I plan to basicly slater you in coconut oil for everything. I will admit there are two baby items I wish I could buy for you...a small pack n play/ rock and play combo and a snap and go stroller base thing. maybe I will cave and get one, although frankly we don't need either. I guess I want just one new thing for you but we will see. I did sew you a cute cover blanket thing for your car seat so hopefully people won't touch you were there germy hands. Even thought I dread the thought of breastfeeding....dread is a strong word...worry about...we will be nursing till we are out of cold and flu seassons come hell or high water.
oh that was really disapointing...last week I learned Drew can not come meet you in the hospital because of cold and flu seasson. Frankly I think a lot of the adults in your life are way less vacinated and bring a much higher chance of making your sick and it's supid that your brother, who will be with you the second you come home can not come meet you at the hopsital. Let's try to have a natural and uncomplicated birth so we can get out of there ASAP alright?
I need to go to work although I'm super tired. I'll try to write once a week till you come out...hopefully only about two more entries!
