Yawn....
I'm so tired. I'm not supposed to be working 8 hour days, yet it's my own fault because everytime I decide I'm going to cut back something happens and someone goes home early or comes in late... although it's getting really old that the girls can't get to work by 4 because of their stupid boyfriends. Shouldn't work and school be a priority? Apparently not, it's all the rage to skip school and work for no good reason. Whatever. I won't whine about work anymore it's depressing because I have to go back tomorrow.
I'm feeling large, very large. At least Lily has dropped now so I can breathe, that does make it a lot easier to be at work, and makes me feel a lot less panicky.
Lily's room is looking really good. There's still some boxes of things I need to put away, and some bags of packaging that need to be taken downstairs. I think Dustin said he was going to do that tonight. I'm trying to get the energy to take a shower, that's my goal for tonight. Well that and make some mashed potatos, green beans and ham, but that doesn't take all that much effort. Just some peeling. The kitchen is a mess but I don't have the energy to clean it up. I don't have the energy to pick up the DVD's from the floor, or make the bed even. *sigh*
So yesterday we had Baby Class. Newborn care. We got to play with dolls HAHA Dustin looked so cute, he burped the 'baby' and fed it and diapered it and swaddled it and cleaned it's nose and mouth and eyes and gave it a bath! (I think he's a lot more of a hands-on learner, and we will be learning a lot once she's actually here, me too. It's nice to be exposed to it at least, especially him since he's never been around a baby) They played a tape of a crying baby and tried to teach us how to think through it. That'll probably be a big challenge, Dustin said that part was the hardest for him. I did learn some things though, for example it only makes sense but when she's born it's a bit of an easier transition if you keep the lights low in the room, because when you think about it, she's just spent 9 months in the dark.
I'm so excited though, I can't wait to be able to touch her! She's doing a good job kicking me and I think her left foot is currently pressing against my ribs, but it's neat to be able to push back and have her respond to my touch. Dustin said he enjoys falling asleep because he can feel her moving and he feels like it's just him and her (even though I feel it too)
There was a couple in my class who had a baby at 32 weeks, and he's doing fine. Still having trouble regulating his body temperature but he's feeding and breathing on his own. The back of his hand is the size of a quarter! So Lily's a little bit bigger than he is!!! So cool! Also strange how Lily's been a week older than him, but now that he's born he's 'older' weird.
Okay can you tell I'm avoiding getting off of the couch and taking a shower? Too much work....
I'm going I'm going....
