36 Weeks and Counting

So we're getting down to the finish. I'm now 36 weeks pregnant...9 months. This is something my students just don't get. They don't get how I can be 9 months pregnant, but still have 4 more to go.

This past weekend Lauren came to visit which was great. Friday we walked around Annapolis, downtown and tried to look for shoes. Saturday was my baby shower here and then we went out with the girls. Sunday Jim joined us and we walked all around D.C., the mall, the capital. It was very sad to see her go. Made me very home sick for everyone back in MI.

Monday morning I was up at 2 a.m. and then again around 4 a.m. and called my mom because, let's just say something was not right...leaving out the details. Decided that I would wait until 8 a.m. and call the office. Got up at 5:30 a.m. and went to work .Called the office at 8 a.m. and left a message for the triage nurse. She called me back around 9:20 a.m. and said she needed to call the doctor. She called back again and said i needed to go to the hospital. By now it was 2nd period, only one left for the day, and I called the main office and said I needed to leave, printed up my class list, talked to my class, got another teacher to cover my 3rd period if there was no sub and then headed back to Annapolis. Stopped by the house to get Jim and headed to the hospital. I was really in no hurry as you can tell.

We were thankfully only there for a few hours, but since the staff was concerned my water had broken I needed to make sure. Dr. Keith did a wonderful spec exam, so not fun, and confirmed what i already thought...water was still intact. I was just too active over the weekend. I need to slow down and rest more. Funny how last week they were telling me to walk more. Make up your minds!!!

It was a good trial run because it made Jim and I realize that we have a lot to get done before her arrival. Need to get the car seat set up in the truck and car, get a ped doctor (4/8) I go, and just get our bags packed in case she makes an early appearance.

I'll try and keep the blog more current, but I'm still working two jobs and going to grad school so I fall behind a times.

Be well!!!
