rkoldBut it's just so hard when you're 37+ weeks pregnant. I feel guilty for not keeping up my baby journal. I need to sit down and work on it tomorrow. I got frustrated when I completely messed it up on the plane and skipped to the wrong week >>; Of course since it's been so long I won't be able to remember all the days I puked as easily which is sad since I really do need to remember that in case I ever get tempted to have a 2nd child.
So Ryuchan is still kicking me and I think I figured out that one of the weird movements she does is actually the hiccups! I'd read babies hiccup in the womb and you can feel it and that babies outside the womb tend to hiccup a lot but had no idea what it would feel like. Sort of sad that it has taken me 13 or so weeks to figure this all out.
We had a bit of a scare on Wednesday when I finally got some very noticeable contractions and I realized that I don't really have 3+ weeks to get everything organized, that SHE COULD COME ANY DAY NOW BECAUSE I AM TERM! I've been working on the assumption she would come at week 40 or later and was more concerned with the specter of induction than thinking of her coming any time soon. This was a not good thing, as I have a list of crap I am supposed to have for her birth, of which I was missing many things. (Thanks to the shower I actually had some 0-3 mos clothes and an actual hat, but was missing: swaddling and booties which have now been bought from Amazon.) We also still need to figure out where she is going to sleep , hahahaha And set up the car seat...
Of course the biggest problem is now I can not plan anything since my plans could change if I really do go into labor. Tomorrow we are going to try to go to Coventry I think, but all plans must be loose and open since who knows.
I also discovered I desperately need more clothes as the temperature finally changes since you can not wear jeans, leggings or sweat pants to synagogue. >>;;;
