Whew. What a day. It’s been a crazy day of ups and downs – very emotional one. Unfortunately, it looks like I will not be having a home birth. That was our big plan, our hope, etc. But I think Dave and I are both getting used to things not going as planned. Am I happy about this? No, but I have to just believe it’s for the best and there’s a reason for everything, including this. I’ll leave it at that for now because it’s been a long and draining day. Tomorrow are tests and then we’ll know more. But without further ado; some full term photos (man, I really wish I were more photogenic!) So, I look tired, have a really stupid constipated grin on my face and it looks like there’s a dead kitten on the ground next to me. Aren’t there photogenic classes that I can take?!:

So, the other day I mentioned already starting to miss being pregnant and this special relationship the baby and I have right now. But I’ve also been thinking about the things I’m looking forward to (besides the obvious, which is this new awesome baby for Dave and I!):

• espresso/lattes/coffee
• vodka (yeah, not like pre-P, a little more in moderation…) in the form of very dirty martinis
• being able to lie on my stomach
• peeing less
• red wine
• sunny eggs (mmmm)
• no full time work for two months
• yoga (power yoga, heavy breathing, difficult poses, not the easy breezy prenatal yoga – the trick will be in finding time/energy I presume)
• non-tight boots
• my rings fitting comfortably
• my socks fitting comfortably
• naps (?) This one is interesting. I know, I know, nap when the baby naps. The problem? I hate naps! Just about as much as I hate baths. I’m grumpy after I do either (groggy or pruney)
• Possibility of a move

And a few things that I’m a bit apprehensive about:

• naps
• lack of sleep
• naps (they really do make me grumpy!)
• breastfeeding
• lack of alone time
• possibility that I stretched out too many “normal life” clothes
• money, but that just seems to be a normal life thing
• brain function returning to what it was before
• creativity functioning like it did before
• time for romance
• missing my pregnancy calmness
• diapers

That’s all for now….

So, for a while, we thought today would be more like 29 and a half weeks, but I’m 28 weeks pregnant today (right, Dave? I think? Oh wait, actually was it yesterday?)! I have a feeling this baby will be early though. Ha ha ha ha ha! Just kidding. Unless this baby is totally infiltrated by Dave’s early genes my (perfectly honorable) late ones will win I’m sure. They are stronger. I guess that will be my payback the waiting people have done for me. Extra pregnancy at the end.

On a side note, the baby has been kicking up a storm! Woo!
