6 Days Left
Tuesday, April 07, 2009
Wow, if that doesn't scare the heck out of a first time mom, nothing will...realizing you only have 6 more days left until your due date! I'm soooo ready and yet not at all ready, at the same time. I know that most likely makes no sense to you (unless you've had a baby before) and then you know EXACTLY what I mean! It is a very odd feeling to know that (literally) any minute you could be heading to the hospital and having a child. Just very weird....
Anyway....the question that everyone keeps asking is, "How are you feeling?" Really, not that bad. I'm very, very tired but other than that, I feel alright. I could sleep round the clock, just like I did during the first trimester, but other than that I can't complain.
It is kind of weird because we have pretty much everything ready. The only thing we are lacking that is a "must have" before the baby arrives is his baby monitor. It has shipped and will be here tomorrow. So, I think we'll be fine there. :) This weekend and the past couple days have seemed so strange because Matthew and I keep asking ourselves is there anything we need/want to do before its time to go to the hospital. And, honestly, I can't think of anything. Baby's bag is packed to go to the hospital and I have a list of everything that I want to pack last minute for myself. I think we're as prepared as we can be.
We saw two movies this past weekend. 1) the new Fast and Furious one, which was a solid 4 out of 5 stars and 2) Adventureland--I was disappointed with that one. I'd say it was maybe a very weak 3 out of 5. I could have waited to see it on DVD. It just wasn't half as funny as I thought it would be. I am a huge Superbad fan, so I was thinking that this one would be like that. Nope, not even close. We did see a preview of a movie coming out in June called The Hangover which looked absolutely hysterical. It is about a bachelor party in Vegas. I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint. As you can see, we're into juvenile, crass comedy. ha.ha. Actually, we're game for seeing any movie that comes out. We live less than 1/2 mile from a theater so we go pretty much every weekend and sometimes a couple times during the week.
Not much else to report. I don't go back to the doctor till Thursday. So, as long as I don't go into labor before then, I guess then will be the next time I have some baby news. Talk to you all later.
