let's talk about this baby...

Well we are almost there! Friday will mark our 38th week which leaves just 2 to go! We are so excited and so ready to meet our little girl... well, as soon as we get the dresser we'll be "officially" ready. (It should be ready by tomorrow to be picked up Saturday... or so I've been told.) All of her clothes and bottles and bedding and all has been washed; our hospital bags are packed and waiting, with the carseat, by the door. (We do plan on putting them in my car sometime soon but with it being as hot as it was, I don't want anything in the bags to melt... not that I can recall anything that would melt, but that's not the point.) Let's see... I have no major complaints aside from the sciatic nerve pain that randomly comes and goes and makes me want to cry. I have never felt pain like that before... yeah, I know, "wait until labor" blah blah blah. At least with labor, I know the end result will be GREAT and well worth it--with the sciatic pain, the end result is me falling onto the couch or chair in agony, crying because I can't get up to pee. Oh, and with labor, there are wonderful, magical drugs to help me through it. Tylenol only does so much for the s-pain (since it's not an NSAID--Google it). It is kinda funny though--patients feel SORRY for me when they see me hobbling along or trying to get up... it's sweet. There they are, possibly staring down dialysis and yet, they feel sorry for me. Kinda sad though--my pain is temporary--theirs may last, unless they get a new kidney. ::sigh::

This kiddo moves constantly. I love it. The Braxton-Hicks... yeah, don't love them as much. They've been getting more frequent and stronger and I've been getting more and more cramps lately. My next appointment is Cinco de Mayo and they'll do another internal then so we'll see what (if anything) is cooking. I'm in no rush--as much as I'd like her to get here and to relieve the pressure on my nerve/butt, I know she'll make her appearance when she is good and ready.

Well, that is all I have to say for now. Now I attempt to sleep... wish me luck on that!

Well well well...

lookey at what we have here! Now I can entertain the masses somewhere other than Myspace. (Entertain or annoy--it's your call really.) That's all for now... I'm sure I'll have something else to say shortly.
