34 Weeks

I don't think I've ever been so busy in my whole life!

Some exciting things this week;
Our first Birthing Class
Dr Appointment
Baby shower Saturday here at our home

I have gotten to a point where I just don't give a crap about much. Haven't done my makeup in 3 days. My hips hurt and there's pressure everywhere. If something drops on the floor, it stays there until Ben can get it. We have these tiny ass chairs at work ( perfect for the 5 year olds in my room) but absolutely horrible for my butt. I'm thinking of bringing the exercise ball to sit on tomorrow.  I can feel his head has lowered to my crotch region, and when he moves it, holy moly, it hurts. I have "lightening crotch". That's what they call it lol
My back hurt so bad last night that I used a heat pad and slept in my pregnancy pillow and I was still completely uncomfortable all night. As much as  love to feel him move and I love being pregnant, I cant wait to get him out and have some body normalcy back in my life!
Another thing to mention is Jasper. 1/4 of my comfort during sleep problems are related to Jasper. He is extra clingy these days. Ben and I really cant tell if he's being jealous and needs extra love, or if he's being protective. It's probably a combination of the two. He is constantly on or trying to get on my belly, and his little paws apply a lot of pressure on it. If he's not sleeping on me, or in the crook of my arm, he's at my knees in a position where I cant stretch my legs out. In my sleep I just know I give up on moving him because he is dead weight. Punkin can sleep!

As I wrote above, This week, tonight actually, we had our first birthing class. It was at the hospital from 6-8. Ben didn't think he was going to be able to make it because of his work shift, so Mom went with me, and then Ben showed up, so I had two birthing coaches. The Nurse that was giving the class basically introduced the hospital policies and changes they are implementing in the next few weeks. The hospital is actually undergoing a huge renovation, so I hope maybe it will be over in that part of the hospital. Also they are in the process of changing a few of their policies too, like how many people are allowed in the delivery room. Right now it's five, but it's going to go to 3. Maybe they will not have implemented that new rule until after I have my hospital experience. Then she started talking about the symptoms we should be experiencing in the last weeks and labor symptoms and how to ease them.
It was very interesting and we go back for the second half next week. It's kind of fun to be in a room with other pregnant ladies learning small details like breathing patterns and stuff. Glad I have two great coaches who are gonna help me so much. There are also breastfeeding support groups that meet once a month, so since I am planning on BF, I am going to try to check out these meetings.

We have an appointment tomorrow morning. Ben gets to go with me this time! And it's with the doctor that is my favorite : )


I said this was a busy time for us. Saturday there is a baby shower being hosted at our house. I was so excited for everyone to come to our house and see it, and the nursery. I was soooooo excited. Stupid me. I have crap everywhere!!!! in my dining room I currently have a sewing machine and fabric on one side, and I took on a wedding flower job, so the other half of my dining room is home to about 6 bouquets in progress. The ribbon and accessories are spread out over the bar. I have no dirty dishes, but need to scrub down my kitchen. Both bathrooms will need to be cleaned Friday. They aren't bad, just need a wipe down. Everything needs to be vacuumed. Our bedroom needs to be cleaned and all the wall decor needs to be hung in the nursery. There are a few other little things that will need to be done last minute.
My MIL told me to call her if I needed help one night this week. I am thinking of calling her. lol
And Mom also said she could help Friday night. So I'll probably take her up on that too.
I could usually get all of this done, but I simply cant overdo it, and Ben had a completely full week. IT WILL GET DONE THOUGH!!!!!!!
