The Little Man and CHA Champs!
Well, as of today I’m 36 weeks and I am excited, but not because of the week, I just want him here. Things have been going as well as to be expected. Both of the baby showers went well and right now we only need to get a few little things for the crib and other miscellaneous toys and such. I’ve started a countdown on my white board at work with how many days I have left. As of today its 29 days and that keeps me going, because soon I will have a 2 month vacation from this place. I know that I will stay busy at home with the little guy, but a 2 month break from work sounds really good right now.
I think Will and I are just ready to have the little guy here. We’ve waited 9 months and are ready to meet him. Also I just want a break from getting kicked all the time and I welcome the thought of getting woken up by him crying instead of him thinking my bladder is a punching bag.
I started swelling the last couple of weeks and I am to the point I can’t wear either of my rings. I was warned this would happen and that the weight gain would start to pick up due to water retention, but I just didn’t expect so much! Some days I feel like a large balloon, but I know here soon it will be over.
I just realized over the past few months that I don’t like being pregnant. Some women I have talked to loved theirs and can’t wait to have another, but not me. I don’t like how nosy people have become about the details of what is going on with my body when I only talk about that with very few people and half the time I’m not even comfortable talking about it outside my doctors office. I don’t like the attention it brings and can’t wait to just get my body back to normal. I want to be able to do simple things again and not worry about how it looks. Oh and I want to be able to climb on aircraft again with out the belly being in the way! I know this all sounds pretty trivial, but I am just ready for it to be over.
I start weekly doctor’s appointments this week until the little guy is here so if we get any news on Thursday I’ll post it that afternoon.
In other news, UAH actually made it to the NCAA Division 1 playoffs! They won 3 games in 48 hours and all of them were come from behind victories. The thing is we were the #5 seed in the CHA and won it all, and now we are the first team since 1978 to go into the regionals with a losing record to go to the playoffs. Everyone around here is really excited and we can’t wait to see how they do in the first round against Notre Dame in the regionals. No one on the team seems to be phased that they are going up against the number one team in the nation, but then again no one expected us to get past the first round of the CHA semi-finals, so maybe this is the motivation that the guys need. Anyway, everyone here will be watching the game on Friday night and hoping for the best!
