I'm feeling really grumpy. It's mostly b/c of our heating situation and my hatred for this house. I'm just really irritated. I'm sick of being poor and not being able to afford to keep our house warm. I'm tired of being cold. We can't afford to fill our gas tank, so if it gets too cold outside, I can't use the central heat b/c then the gas heat would kick on. The only other way to heat our house is the fireplace, which I have to put wood in pretty much every hour and then the living rooms is burning hot and the rest of the house is... not.
Today, I really want to move somewhere else.
The temp tonight is supposed to be 12 degrees. It kinda makes me want to cry thinking about it.
*sigh*
Anyway, the baby has dropped. Or as all my books call it, "lightening." Apparently, according to my books, with your second and subsequent babies, it's rare to drop before you go into labor. I dropped Sunday. Still not in labor. I'm an exception. Fantastic. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday. He told me I haven't dilated anymore and that my cervix hasn't done anything... which confused me b/c I could've swore last time he said it was 50% effaced. Whatever. Point is, not having a baby any time soon. Although, he did say that I should be having it in about 2 weeks which is 2 weeks before my due date. So, we'll see how that goes.
When I read in my book about lightening and how normally you go into labor shortly after, I got REALLY paranoid. I was nesting like crazy. I felt unprepared and extremely overwhelmed. I guess it's a good thing I'm an exception b/c now I have time to prepare some more. Plus, now that she's dropped, I'm not having that awful pain anymore. woot! I just have to pee a lot more than before which is ALOT! And sometimes my hips and other body parts in that area hurt. haha
