Almost time!!

37 WEEKS - I had a Dr. appnt on Tuesday. I'm 1 centimeter dilated, 75% effaced and his head is "really low". Yeah. I know. The pressure down there is killing me. So things have started to progress. That was encouraging.

I had a meeting with my new boss last week, Jill, Director of Events at Deltek. She is wonderful. I'm so happy to be working for her. So I guess I'll be doing only events now. It should be pretty fun, although I do enjoy doing all the other Marketing related things as well. Anyway, I've been working this week to hand over all my duties to the appropriate people so I can have a restful (regarding work) maternity leave. I'm looking forward to the time off. Randy and I have discussed how long I'll take off. I'm pushing for 10 weeks, he's pushing for 8. We'll see.

Wednesday night I started having painful contractions. They were every 3-4 minutes and lasted about 2 hours. I was a little worried that we when in for a trip to the hospital that night. I wasn't ready for that, so I ignored them, went to bed and they stopped. I haven't felt anything substantial since then. I've been frantic at work since then, getting things wrapped up. I should be good to go by the end of the day today, just in case.

Easter was fun last Sunday. I have to mention that so I can post a pic of my gorgeous boy. He had a great time and the house is over flowing with chocolate, which isn't such a bad thing to a pregnant woman.

We'll see if I make through the weekend!!!

One more month...

Yep, one month left. I had a dr visit on Monday. I’m not “progressing” at all yet, unfortunately. I’m so looking forward to not being PG anymore. I'm feeling pretty good, and people keep telling me I don't look 8 months pregnant. I guess I don't really feel that big either.

I am getting nervous about having a newborn again. Will I remember what to do? We bought Ryan some new furniture last weekend, to be delivered tomorrow. So this will be a big preparation weekend, getting the boys rooms in order.

Regarding work.... in talking with the Deltek events lady, I’ve pretty much decided that I’ll leave WelcomWorld for them to run and just not worry about it. I really do like the Director of Events (Jill, my new boss). She has two kids, 3yr and 5 mos, so we bonded on the mommy level. She assured me that I have a team behind me now, and not to feel like I HAD to be there at the conference. Made me feel good. I was pretty stressed out about trying to handle it and childbirth too.

Ryan is increasingly excited about his new baby brother. He wanted to know how Nate was going to come out the other day. I said “I already told you. He will come out of my privates.” He said “But the baby is too big.” I said “things will stretch and he will come out.” He said “Eeew. I don’t want to see that.” LOL He’s freaking hilarious.

I realized yesterday that I have to sign him up for Kindergarten next week. I had a little breakdown here at my desk. :-( He is getting so big. And doing SO well in Pre-K. He has started learning how to read. He's amazing.
