Well on Thursday I will be 35 weeks, I am starting to get nervous about the delivery and all the pain and everything, especially because I have no idea what to expect. I do know that my period pains were some of the worst pains I have ever experienced, so yeah I am pretty excited to see what labor pains will be like..lol. I am also very nervous because so many of my friends/relatives have had so many complications with birthing their babies, it really scares me! Even if I do everything right who knows what kind of complications I might have, I guess I just have to prepare for both scenarios and hope for the best. I am so excited to meet this little guy, he gets hiccups several times a day now and I picture his cute little self hiccuping and it makes me very happy.I am not exactly sure if he is head down yet, at times feel he is because all those hiccups I feel usually seem to be located more around my pelvis area, but other times he really seems sideways, who know he might still be changing positions some. I do know that on my right side he has this favorite spot next to my ribs where his foot or some body part likes to be. He is still crazy active, last night I tried to fall asleep and it took a few hours, partly because he was moving so much. He seems like a hyper baby, but I hope it means he is happy in there. I already love his personality, or I guess what I have imagined it up to be. Since we are nearing the last few weeks it really is becoming more real, over the weekend we went through all the baby clothes he will be wearing for the first few months, it takes a lot longer than you would think to take tags off baby clothes, socks, blankets, etc. Harley sniffed everything curiously, anytime he would see a toy or anything I would remind him,this is for the baby, I am hoping if I say the word baby enough when we bring home the baby he will be able to associate it somehow, long shot I know, but Harley is pretty smart.
Scott has been busy with school and work and has finals this week, I don't really know how nervous he is about labor or how he feels, he acts like he is excited but I think when the time comes he is going to get very panicky. I have a feeling the next month is going to fl by because work is pretty busy and then Scott's family is coming up for Christmas. Then once January hits things will slow down because I won't be working, so I can lay around a lot with Harley and perhaps will this baby to come early! I am still feeling pretty good, my pulled groin is my biggest complaint, I worry that it is torn and that their will be permanent damage to it, but I don't want to stop working out yet because I know I will have to take it easy after the baby comes. So I don't know if I am doing the right thing but I am hoping that after the baby is born it will heal. I think towards the last few weeks of my pregnancy I am going to switch to more yoga and stretching, and less cardio. Walking is actually the most painful because of how it affects my pulled muscle, which sucks because obviously I can't run anymore, so the elliptical has been my cardio of choice mostly. The pulled groin makes my waddling seem much worse, so I probably look pretty silly at times walking around, but whatever.
Scott and I feel so blessed to be able to have gotten pregnant and to be expecting this little one so soon, it is coming up quickly and we are very excited to meet him. I can't wait to see what he looks like, and see what he got from mommy and what he got from daddy. We are still working on a name, we have a few that we like, but we really can't decide until we see his sweet little face!
