Week 29
Part of me is starting to feel impatient, anxious for the birth to come. At the same time, I'm a little bit freaked out by how soon it actually is--how little time there is to do things I want to do before the baby comes. Not that there are a bunch of specific things I'm worried about finding time for--I'm just starting to realize that a lot of that time is already pretty planned up. I've definitely budgeted time to rest and take it easy, both now and after the baby comes, but it's just kind of crazy knowing that much of the next six months will have a momentum of its own, with fewer and fewer decisions within my control. I will be sort of carried through a series of events and experiences and it's up to me to sit back, get ready for them, and react to them them as the come. Like an amusement park ride.
I've scheduled a final interpreting job in Boardman for September. A full forty hour week, followed by a weekend off, and then three more full days. I'll be interpreting in a potato snack factory. The client knows that I will be 8 months pregnant and will need a chair as we move through the factory, that I cannot be on my feet 8 hours/day. I'm happy to have the opportunity to do one last interpreting job before the baby comes--the money is definitely welcome, and I won't be able to interpret for a while after this--but I am a bit nervous as I always am before taking an interpreting job. I'm still feeling really well these days and having a super healthy, mellow pregnancy, but I definitely have less stamina than usual and it's always to be sure how things will change from week to week. For example, what if I don't sleep well at night and am totally exhausted? But I've accepted the job, so now I just have to do my best to prepare and deal with things as they come. For now, I've been sleeping quite well in pregnancy, better than I did before I was pregnant.
