It's May. In case you haven't heard, I'm due in May. And here May is. Crazy. I can't believe it's already here. It seems like January and February went so stinking slow and then all the sudden here is May. Not sure what happened there. Now, I'm not such a fool as to think, "this is the month she is going to make her appearance" because you know the second I say that she is going to come late and make herself a June baby. So I will stick to, This is the month that she is due. Sounds less finite anyway.
I decided 34 weeks was the time that things got really hard. Work has become almost impossible. All the bending down and being up on my feel for 12-13 hours is just plain hard. There are times when I'm working where I really think, what am I doing? Why am I not at home lying in bed with Ryan rubbing my feet 24/7? Those are the questions of life. I'm actually thinking that bed rest sounds pretty amazing right about now... haha. People ask me at work when I'm due and I say, "May 27th." Their next question almost every time is when my last day of work is. "May 25th" I'm beginning to think I am crazy for working until 40 weeks but maybe it will urge this little girl out a little sooner. Just maybe.
The other question we get all the time is if we have picked a name yet. The answer unfortunately is no. For some reason this time around I feel like I have to see her before we name her. We definitely have a list of names we like but we don't have ONE that we love yet. Hopefully seeing her will inspire us.
We are feeling a lot more prepared for this little girl to come these days. While Ryan was out of town, my mom came to stay with me to keep me safe and be here in case I went into labor sans Ryan. While she was here, we emptied out the spare bedroom, boxed a bunch of stuff up and put it in the garage to make room for all of baby girl's stuff. It isn't really the nursery I was hoping to have but it will work for now until we get a house one day. At least now we have a place for her to sleep, a car seat, a place for her clothes and diapers, etc. Now, every time I walk passed the room I don't get stressed out since it is pretty much ready to put a cute little girl in. We are so excited and I just can't believe that Sunday I will be 37 weeks!! That is technically term! I can't believe it! We are so excited to meet this little girl so soon!
As far as naming, we were the same way with James & are the same way with Baby Girl. We have a few names that we like, but we can't know until we see her. I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteohh that is so exciting! Landon came at 37 weeks, my body's way of saying there is no way you're working and carrying a baby until 40 weeks. I say take off a few more days prior a rest! Good luck!
