That's how many days I have left until my due date. The time is going by so quickly, I know that lil Dominic will be here in no time. I feel so huge, but I still have a lot more to grow. I deffinitely won't miss this aspect of being pregnant, I can't wait til I get my figure back, and I can fit into my own clothes again. I start my third trimester in 8 days. That means that the easiest part of my pregnancy is over with and I'm about to enter a time of all new problems and symptoms. I wish that it would be November already so that this would all be over with, I would have my son already, and I could start looking normal. But at the same time I'm scared to death about going through labor, but I think that's just a fear on the unknown since I don't know what to expect or what's going to happen or how much it is going to hurt. Right now I'm trying to figure out what I am going to do for BJ's birthday. Since I'm due Nov 2nd and his b-day is Nov. 8th I know that he'll be overlooked and I wanna do something special for him. I figured we would celebrate it early that way it's just us and I'm less likely to go into labor during it. I don't know what I'm going to do since I can't leave VA after my 36th week, which starts Oct 5th. But I'm sure I'll think of something, luckily it isn't a big b-day or I'd feel even worse, he's going to be 22. I know when my baby shower is going to be. It's going to be Sept. 5th, which is also my dad's b-day. Oh well, we're going to have my baby shower and BJ's diaper party that day. In case you don't know, or I haven't expained it yet, a diaper party is where all the guys get together while the women are at the baby shower and pretty much just hang out, BJ provides the beer, but in order to drink you need to bring a pack of diapers. I hope I get a lot of stuff at my shower, especially all the big stuff that we really need. I'm a little worried that people will just buy whatever they want though. See BJ and I spent a lot of time looking through things and picked particules strollers, car seat, pack n plays, etc and I'm worried that people will see that we need a stroller (for example) and go out and buy whatever one they want to get us. I'm grateful that people will be buying us things, but we made the registry for a reason and I hope people stick to it. The day after my baby shower is Labor Day, but it's also my b-day. I'm going to be 20, yay me.
