Busy Week

Just a quick update. Life is a little overwhelming this week. Keith "helped" me clean the house this weekend. I use the word help loosely, Keith hates cleaning. He gripes, whines, complains, mopes around the house and the whole nine yards. But we both knew it had to be done so we sucked it up and he helped me. He will be so glad when I can clean again on my own and he doesn't have to help. My home computer crashed and burned over the weekend. I'm hoping that my brother can work his computer magic over the weekend and recover my pictures and documents. Keith is bummed that we're gonna have to get a new one but we've been milking that old thing for years now. It's so old and been so slow but I think it's really dead this time.

Monday we finished up our child birth class. We've enjoyed the class. Well, I have. Keith was incredibly bored but I think after the baby gets here he might feel differently :) We learned a lot of things and are looking forward to practicing the things they taught us.

Today we went to the hospital to get pre-registered and take a tour of the birthing room. Provided that we have a normal delivery, we will only be in one room the entire stay :) That makes me very happy. The rooms are so nice and the hospital is so great. The staff is amazing also. At this point I'm not nervous about the labor/delivery part. In retro spect I think that not knowing the baby's gender is really helping me to stay calm and focused about getting through the labor and delivery so I can finally meet my baby. But Keith doesn't have to know that part. LOL. I can't guarantee that those feelings will remain all the way through the process but I'm gonna give it my best :) I like to prove my strength, especially prove it to myself, so I'm hoping that will also help get me through. This all probably sounds so lame to you moms out there but I have to give it a shot. It should be interesting to say the least.

Tomorrow we have our 36 weeks baby doctor appointment. They will start checking for dialation and seeing if the baby has dropped. We will go every week from this point on. I am definitely anxious about the appointment and to see the current progress. I hope I haven't started dialating yet (the baby shower is this weekend). I have been having a lot of false labor contractions the last few weeks. I do hope that means the baby is wanting to come before the 8th of December but I'd like to attend my own baby shower too :) Thursday we have pictures at our church for their new directory and Friday we head home (provided the doctor's appointment goes well).

I will try to update tomorrow after the doctors appointment but I can't promise. As you can tell we are very busy this week. But by Monday our life should be back to semi-normal. HA! Is life ever normal?!

God Bless,
