Thirty-Five WeeksI had a nice baby shower last week at work. It was so sweet of the ladies I work with to set it up. And I didn't have to play baby shower games.

Thirty-Five Weeks, One DayHarry Potter came out today and we were there with bells on! The movie was great, and I only had to get up once in the 170 minutes to go to the bathroom. But boy did I fidget. I bet the people behind us were expecting the kids to do that, not the adult! I'm glad we went, we all had a great time.
Thirty-Five Weeks, Two DaysI am so tired! I'm also getting cranky and hormonal. I try to hide it, mostly by being silly or just retreating. I find myself wanting to cry at lots of different things, including dumb things. I suppose I appear rather apathetic or distant to some because of this. I just feel like I'm on the verge of snapping.
I came home from work early yesterday because I didn't feel well. I know they didn't expect me to come back. And then today after my ultrasound it wound up running late so I missed work all together. The good news is that the babies are nearly 6 lbs and 5.5 lbs. As of Thursday my labor will not be stopped. I refused to let them look at my cervix. I told her it would be pointless since labor wouldn't be stopped. Not to mention it's uncomfortable and depressing to hear I'm still not dilating (which was a good thing before)!
The other midwives came and my BP is great, urine negative, everything was great. They agreed that the first baby (Owl) is down very low. That is probably why I'm so uncomfortable. I'll live. :-)
My friend Sharon's birthday was yesterday. She's probably mad I didn't have the babies then. She also says it's two girls.

Thirty-Five Weeks, Six DaysIt's hard to get up in the mornings. Though I am sleeping better at night. I still get up a lot but I don't stay up like I used to do. Our water bill is probably outrageous because of the number of baths I take each day. It's really the one thing that really helps my hip.
Kevin and I were able to talk a bit this week. He's sorry he's not feeling as into the pregnancy and he does realize it's our last. He's just depressed over his physical illnesses and job situation. He's trying to do better. And let's not even talk about names for the babies!
