28 days or so left

I am trying to wrap things up to be really prepared for the baby. I am working hard, too hard according to my doula, doing stuff for my website like getting new merchandise up and changing things around and creating the "juicy" world for holiday in the stores. I am planning on stopping everything a couple weeks before my due date to relax, turn inward and get ready. I heard it is a good thing for the baby, they need to feel relaxed too and welcome to come into the world.

I go to the doctor every week now. I am not sure why but I am going. When the doctor felt around on my tummy she said I was all baby, so she should be pretty big. Maybe around 6 lbs. She is head down although she looks quite lop sided (her butt is on the right side).

Classes are going well although I feel like I should know more at this point in my pregnancy. We did talk about labor last week, the stages, what to expect in each and what the baby is doing. So that was good. We also went over some breathing...quite basic but I am not sure I will remember when the time comes. This is why I have a doula.

David and I are going to pack the hospital bag this week and make sure the car seat is in ok. Next week I am full term!

If anyone wants something from my site, please let me know. I am offering stuff at cost or under to make room for more merchandise coming. Just shoot me an email jayme2256@hotmail.com

I am going to give bed a try....goodnight. xoxoxo

Sleep typing...

I am getting so excited to give birth! I cannot wait to meet my daughter! Everyday I am getting less afraid and more ready....thank God!

The nursery is coming together, David painted, crib is there, changing table set up (THANKS LIZZY!) and there is a dresser! I need to wash baby clothes and get a few more things. Oh and decorate of course.

The baby is dropping and my hips hurt a lot but I am happy for the pain, makes me feel like things are "happening". I still cannot sleep well and when I do its like I am not totally asleep anyway. Nature really has its way of preparing you. She is head down as far as I can tell...I have movement everywhere but especially up at the top, where her feet are.

I am more amazed all the time at the gift and mystery of all of this. Being pregnant and growing a human is so miraculous you just know its beyond this world.

I cannot really tie my shoes anymore. Somedays I cannot at all and David has to, others I am feeling more limber and can mostly do it. Its pretty funny. Everything is such a chore! Lol

zzzzzz...got to go.

xoxoxo

ZZZZZZZZZ....I wish!

I dont sleep. It is terrible! I did just find out that pregnancy insomnia effects 75% of women, so I am feeling better knowing I am not alone.

There have been nights lately that I have only had 2 hrs of sleep! My eyes are bloodshot and my body hurts.

On the upside, I am 33 weeks! Yea. I also finally start my childbirth classes this week on Thurs. I am really looking forward to that.

Yesterday David put the crib together and its totally cute. Its the only thing in the nursery so far but I think it looks great! Once I get sheets and stuff I will take a picture to post here.

If only I could type more...my brain is less than sharp right now. ;)

Love to all,
