Wait, WHAT!?
I think I've finally starting getting a bit nervous. I'm not feeling very confident about having a baby to take care of all the time! But at the same time, I'm so super excited. It's like I can't decide exactly what I'm feeling. It's crazy.
Monday I have another doctor's appointment. It's getting harder and harder to walk around--especially hard to walk up the stairs. I'm always out of breath! It takes me like half an hour to recover! (Probably not actually a half hour...exaggerating of course!) I wonder if I will have gained the normal weight (2 pounds? One per week apparently is good at this point.)
Baby is still moving around so much! It's pretty much constant now, I almost don't notice sometimes! But I see waves across my belly and I feel her moving. I can't believe how big she must be in there already. It's like, whoa. I have such little energy, and she has so much!! :)
Tomorrow we have our last birthing class. It's all about baby care, hooray! I wonder if we'll have little dolls to put clothes on, haha. Probably not, it's not that hands on. Last week's birthing class was terrible- we watched a video with pregnant moms dressed up in white bodysuits from the 70s and men with huge hair and big glasses that rubbed their wives while their wives faked contractions for the purpose of the video! ha. I feel like our practice breathing through fake contractions does absolutely nothing to prepare me for labor. I always feel ridiculous and like, how am I supposed to know from this how a contraction feels?
Today on thebump.com, there was a disucssion titled: "Things I'm looking forward to after birth". Here is one of the answers that I laughed out loud about because it's exactly how I feel right now:
If you can't read it, it says, "Being able to think, "I'm going to stand up now," without thinking about how to go about doing it..." :) That's really how I feel!!
We still have so much to do before baby comes. I sure hope she isn't early! haha. We have to get the crib (this CAN happen after she's born though, since we have a bassinet for now,) I have to wash her clothes and diapers, get Romeo neutered (lol, poor guy,) get a car seat and install it...and become mentally prepared! (Does that actually happen?) I sure hope we get all the necessary things done in advance! Pray for us :)
