Oh yeah....
I knew I was forgetting something! I just want to take a second and ask everyone to keep my friend Heather and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Heather was 25 weeks pregnant and on April 9 her body started to reject the pregnancy, so by emergency c section baby boy Elliott was born weighing in at 1 lb 1 oz. Miraculously Elliott is fighting hard and hanging in there. He is being monitored in the NICU and has even gained a couple ounces. I've seen pictures of him and he is no bigger then the size of my hand. He has a long tough road ahead of him but the Dr's seem very confident that he is going to make it through.
The Homestretch
Wow its been a long time. I was trying to do better about posting more but between work sucking the life out of me and getting ready for baby girl, the only other thing I do is sleep. As I enter the homestretch I just have no energy for anything extra and unfortunately blogging has fallen into that category.
So here is a quick rundown of what has been going on since the last time.
At the end of March my friend Tracy and I went to an all day childbirth class at the hospital. I didn't really learn much more then I already know but at least I know what to do and Tracy has an idea of how to wing it when the time comes.
April 4 my sister Katy and my moms best friend Deb threw me a baby shower. A lot of people showed up and it made me feel extremely blessed that so many people support and love me and my baby. I got some pretty amazing things and I can not wait to put those tiny little outfits on her, especially the Guns N Roses onsies from Jake :)
About a month ago I went to see my friend Kristi and her daughter Kirra. Kristi is married to his brother and they all live together. I hadn't seen Kirra since she was born in September and it was really nice to catch up with Kristi. I felt reassured that I had her and Brandon's support despite what is going on with Him. She did mention that Father of the Year was talking like he was going to have my daughter all the time and telling them all the things they were gonna do. Excuse me for a second. Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahaha. OK I'm back and I fell better now. I have not had any contact whatsoever with him since JANUARY. He has made NO effort to get ahold of me to even talk about how we are going to co parent this child and he thinks he's just gonna swoop right in and have her whenever he feels like it? Doesn't quite work like that.
Things are progressing very well. I'm sitting uncomfortably at 35 weeks and 4 days right now. At my last appt my dr told me that after next Monday if I go into labor they won't try to stop it. That excites me and terrifies me all at the same time. She has been head down for weeks and she's dropped a little bit. I've had fake contractions on and off all week. Its so crazy to know that at any time now, I'm going to have this amazing life that I've carried for so long now and it just seems so surreal. I should probably pack my bag soon I might actually have some spare energy to do that today.
OK I think that catches me up but I could be forgetting something. Stupid pregnancy brain :) Now I need to do something else I've been putting of for too long. Writing thank you cards.
