Anxious!

Well, first of all, I made it to week 35, that is very good news! If I have the baby now, he won't be required to stay in the NICU and the chances of him having long term health effects for being born too early are pretty slim. I had Little Miss in my 35th week so it's difficult not to think I'm going to have this little guy this week. All I can do now is wait as patiently as I can. I'm currently on bed rest because my doctor wanted me to make it as long as possible but now I'm wondering if she will keep me on bed rest after my appointment on Wednesday because at some point, it's not going to be a big deal if I go into labor ya know? My contractions are still here and some nights they definitely get up there in numbers but I've decided that if I'm actually going into labor, the contractions won't stop so I'm not running to the hospital anymore when I get to 6 in an hour. I've just been waiting it out and seeing if they stop or not. Since I'm writing this and you haven't heard that I've had a baby, they've obviously all stopped. :-) That's the update on me.

Not a whole lot is going on though. The house is really coming together and I'm starting to really love it. My mom came into town last week, which was great, and I was excited for her to see where we live. Since I can't do much walking, I couldn't really show her around the neighborhood much but we'll get plenty of chances for that once the little one is here. It's been so beautiful here. I've heard that the weather in Colorado has been fairly crappy so it's been very weird to know that our weather is better than Colorado's lately! I'm getting the feeling that Wisconsin doesn't go back and forth between sunny days and snowing the way Colorado did. Even if it's a cold day here, it just rains, never snows it seems. As I've mentioned before, with the nicer weather, people seem to be coming out of hibernation. We've met some more of our neighbors and they are outside A LOT! MH has been over there playing bean bags with them and just hanging out chatting. One of them came over to talk with me with the guys were outside playing and all of them have offered to help with Little Miss once we have to go to the hospital.

As for work, I've basically caught up on everything so things are pretty set in case I go into labor any day. Now watch, I'll end up going another 3 weeks or something crazy and I'll have done all this prepping for nothing! Haha!

I'm cherishing every minute I have with Little Miss right now. She is just so great and I know things are going to be different once the baby is here so I'm just loving getting to hang out with her, even if I have to sit on the couch the whole time. She's such a character. She continues to try and make us laugh whenever she can and I don't know where she comes up with the stuff she does but she's hilarious!

Well, I should get ready for the day and keep up with work. I'll talk to you all soon!

Positive Wisconsin Note: My mom told me last week that she might be able to trade some time for the Wisconsin Dells! She suggested having a family trip out there and that would be SO great! I've heard the Dells are a lot of fun in the summer and to have my brother, sisters and nieces here would be amazing!! I hope everyone else thinks so too!
