Slowing Down
Wow, I am really slowing down. What used to be so easy (laundry, doing dishes, walking long distances), is becoming a little harder than I'm used to. Lifting up the laundry basket is starting to aggravate my back, my belly bumps up against the sink for dishes, and turning over at night is getting to be interesting as well. By Friday at work, I'm just pooped. Teaching these kiddos this year is really keeping me on my feet and busy! My feet are definitely swollen by the end of the week.
Yesterday we had our birthing class/hospital tour. It went really well. I think it was more for my husband, than me. He totally had a different picture of what was going to happen to me than what actually will. He said he understands now the purpose of a "push present" (which I still may not get, since he is cheap, but whatever!). He also said he didn't realize how long it could possibly take from going in to labor and then delivering the babe. We enjoyed the tour of the hospital and to get a picture of where this little man will enter the world! I also feel like I have a better grasp of what I need to do to get this little man out of me. I'm pretty sure I want to try to use as little drugs as possible to get him out. I am not opposed to some pain killers to take the edge off, but I really do not care for an epidural. It's not the needle that bothers me, it is just the idea of not being able to control my bottom half after it is given, in addition to the side effects. I figure women have been giving birth for thousands of years without epidurals, if they can do it, I certainly can endure the pain and do it, too.
After the tour and class we went to an Atlanta Braves game with our friends. After the game Adam's favorite band, O.A.R. played, so we stayed for that, too. It was great! I really enjoyed myself. However, the walk back to the car was annoying. I wanted to walk so much faster than what my body would let me. My ankles were nice and swollen, and I just couldn't speed walk! I had to tell my super speed walking hubs to SLOW DOWN!
I also feel I should mention how great he has been. I figured he'd just carry on with normal life and I would still carry the burden of cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. He has been doing dishes, vacuumed the whole down stairs, and even SCRUBBED THE TOILET!!!!!!!!!!!! He never cleans toilets! If I was up for a roll in the sack he'd totally be getting some tonight! ; ) haha
Hope everyone is doing well!! = )

Getting excited!
I am getting so excited for this little man to get here! I can barely contain myself. These next few months are going to fly by with baby prep classes, baby moons, baby showers, and the fact that my body is slowing down. Flipping over at night has become a process, and I can no longer lay on my back as I am starting to feel like I can't breathe. We're also getting some of our shower gifts shipped to our house. So far we have our stroller, pack and play, high chair, and breast pump. For all of you preggers out there I got the most expensive medela breast pump at Baby Depot by Burlington for almost $100 less than what it is at babies-r-us. At babes it is 329, at baby depot it was 279, plus a 15% off coupon! However, I'm not opening it until I know that this guy wants to breast feed! Once the seal is broken it can't be returned.
Also last night he was doing some sort of gymnastics in my belly that made my left side protrude out and it almost hurt a bit. He must be running out of room because the feelings I'm getting aren't just little kicks any more they are stretching and all out bouncing throughout my womb. He is still sitting right on my bladder which proves to be interesting when I'm teaching 25 10 year olds all day and can't leave (I have some emotional behavior disorder kids in my room that I REALLY can't leave!).
Less than 3 months to go! YIPEE!!!!!!!!

Buckeye Baby Bump
I'm not a big fan of taking pictures of myself, but I haven't taken one of the bump in almost 10 weeks, and I actually did my hair and make-up today so you all get to see two pics!
