Week 35

Doing my blog a day early today, mostly because I am going to be super busy this weekend.

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day, and in honor of that, I'm doing corned beef and cabbage! Tossing corned beef into the crockpot bright and early tomorrow morning to let it cook with the veggies allll day, doing cabbage right before dinner. No green beer, but I don't like beer anyway. We're having some friends over for dinner, so I'm going to be spending the day cooking/cleaning/organizing (hey, great excuse to also get things all set up for Molly too!).

Sunday, we have a wedding up in the SLO area. We're planning on making a day of it and having a nice fun relaxing time. In the rain. Yes, it's supposed to rain all weekend. Lucky for us, rain doesn't matter! Going to be a nice fun busy weekend. I also had the odd realization that since we'll be traveling 3 hours away, I should make sure to pack an emergency bag and the carseat. Just in case. Thankfully, I know exactly where the hospitals are up there. And yes, I did clear it with my doctor.

Molly is definitely getting cramped in there. She keeps moving, and I keep going "Oofff" whenever she does. She's all wiggly/stretchy/pushing out now. Apparently she's almost ready to get here or something! Which makes sense since there are only 36  days until her due-date! Which probably means less than that. Oh my goodness. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed that she's going to get here that soon, but I think most of it is just I haven't actually organized/ordered the rest of her things. I'm going to be ordering stuff next week (when our BabiesRUs coupon, 10% off ENTIRE registry items!, is activated), and spend next weekend going crazy with the baby stuff organizing. Hm...maybe I am getting that whole nesting thing.

I'm doing well. This whole time change + waking up every 2 hours isn't very nice though. I'm pretty tired, even when I do go to bed early. I'm also getting unbelievably hot, even with the fan on high and the door open for a breeze. Bear in mind, it's still getting into the low 50s at night. And I feel like it's 80* in our room. Strange thing having a built-in incubator I guess. Also in pain  at night cause I'm not moving, so when I do, it feels like everything has to stretch out/crack. Which makes moving a bit of an annoyance. Feet are also beginning to swell, off and on, depending on how cold it is outside. I'm definitely drinking LOTS of water and keep my feet up, sleeping on my side, etc to try to combat it.

I guess I'm getting to that I don't want to be pregnant anymore stage? I'm not terribly uncomfortable (that could change though), I'm just very impatient. I mean, c'mon, 36 days?? That's a month a few days. That's barely any time at all. And I'm full-term next week (24th), so she could literally come at any time  after that. I'm a bit impatient! Hubby and I both are. We want so desperately to hold her and see her. Cradle her in our arms, kiss her face, smell her hair, and just stare at her for hours on end.

I have a doctor's appointment next Wednesday, and I would imagine that starts the "come in every week" appointments. I have a few questions for him, which he is always great at answering for me. I also have my own little to-do list, most of which involves organizing Molly's stuff and getting things set up for her.

Our lives are going to change so drastically in just a few short weeks. I cannot wait!

P.s. No picture today. I'll post one probably Monday. :)
