3 weeks left

and yet I'm still working. Whatever possessed me to agree to working through my 37th week of pregnancy? Ignorance, obviously. But someone really should have informed me of how stupid that was. Even though my pregnancy has been easy, I didn't realize how restless and sore I could be this close to being done. My wedding ring doesn't fit anymore, so I had to go out and buy something to take it's place. Sigh.

The baby shower is this Saturday, which is great, especially considering the fact that I still need quite a few things, but I can't buy anything until I know what other people have bought. I still need to buy things for me for the hospital. Nothing like waiting 'til the last minute. SERIOUSLY.

I had a great Easter yesterday. We went to church & then had Easter dinner at my parents house. Later that night we drove (with Kate & Wes) to Grandma & Grandpa Bro's house. Apparently I shouldn't be in a car that is traveling for 1.5 hours (round trip) because my back is sure suffering today! :(

Four more weeks!

I had a doctors appointment yesterday (my first weekly appointment). Everything was "perfect" - to use the doctor's words. And apparently Olivia is very easy to find when they want to listen to her heart beat, and that's good news for me. I haven't started dilating yet, which, I guess is a good thing, though since I'm ready to be done, it wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear. I think that next week is when it's alright to be started. Since these appointments are supposed to be weekly, one would assume that my next appointment would be next Monday/Tuesday, but no, my next appointment is next Friday, which is pretty much 2 weeks away. Lovely. That Friday is also my last day of work! :D I'm so tired of working.

I have been so exhausted these past few days. Part of which has been the late nights we've been keeping, though most of it (99.9% of it) is just because I'm pregnant. :P I can't wait to be done.

I recieved two boxes via UPS that I didn't order. Turns out my ex volleyball coach sent me a bunch of baby things. :) That pretty much made my week. Than my mom came up yesterday to spend the day & go to the doctor's appointment and she brought a few baby things with her, which of course, made me happy. :) Baby things are so dang cute.

Next Saturday (the 29th) is my baby shower which I am really looking forward to. Mostly cuz I can't wait to finish getting all the baby things that I need, and so I can start washing everything, and so I can finish putting the room together. Which brings me to painting the room. That still hasn't happened yet, but I'm hoping for this week! :)

Sigh, I'm really tired of working & not getting enough rest.

6 weeks left!

Can you believe it? I can't. It's just around the corner, and I'm starting to feel ready, yet not even close to being ready. I found a good stroller on sale this week that I'm going to go ahead and buy - mostly cuz I doubt that I'll be getting one as a shower gift. I just won't put it together, just in case I would happen to get one, and then I can take it back.

I have a doctor's appointment this week and it'll be the first one that I've gone to alone. =/ I'm not really looking forward to that.

Last Thursday, when we had our last "big" snowstorm, I pretty much almost died. I have never been so scared in my life. I was driving down Ridgeway, and somebody either couldn't stop, or decided that they weren't going to stop until they were 2-3 feet out in the middle of the road. I hit my brakes and my car just wouldn't stop. I kept sliding closer and closer to the car, and somehow (only by the grace of God) was I able to miss hitting them. There is NO way I should have missed them, but my car somehow managed to go around them and miss hitting the car that was in the next lane as well. When I reached the Ridgeway/Ansborough light I noticed that I was shaking and, of course, crying. Way to scare a very pregnant woman. I thank God for keeping me safe especially since so many bad things could have happened. The saddest part is that I hadn't noticed anyone else slipping around up until that point, and I had just driving to Cedar Falls and back, and as I near my house that happens.

And I've also managed to catch a cold. I honestly can't believe that has happened. This couldn't have happend at at a more inopportune time. SERIOUSLY.
