Are We There Yet?

34 weeks down, 6 to go. 6 weeks has never looked so long, and unreachable. I don't even have much to do to get ready for her. We found some cute little plastic dressers at Target (only 11 dollars each!!) Unfortunatly it is not allowing me to upload a picture to show you. So I will just have to tell you that the frame of each is white, while each have different colored drawers. Blue, Green, and a purpleish-pinkish color. =) And right now all of her clothes are folded and put away in them. We will be getting baby hangers to hang up most of her outfit and using the drawers for blankets, bibs, socks, shoes, etc.

Oh! My wonderful mama has bought Elliott the cutest little bassinet! Here's the picture off the internet. (it hasn't gotten here yet, so I can't take a picture of ours. But ours will be exacty the same.) Ok nevermind! This stupid thing wont let me upload ANY of the pictures I intended on showing you! Gah! Now I am mad. I was going to show you my poor little belly button, thats as flat as can be and slightly poking out. I was also going to show you my pretty 34 week belly. But nope, you can't see it now!

So apart from being highly cranky with this stupid thing that wont let me show you the pictures...I'm bored. I would show you the pictures and doodles I've been drawing...but again my computer is retarded.

 I almost cried today because I asked Matt to pick up Taco Bell for lunch (mmm!!) and I thought he had misunderstood and wasn't coming home for lunch and only buying for himself. He showed up with my burrito shortly after I started getting hormonal. =)

I've had little feet in my ribs aaaaalllll day today! And the owner of those little feet has already had the hiccups 3 times. Which is actually less than normal. She usually has hiccups 5-6 times a day. But it's only 3:06 pm...she's got time to catch up. Oh and she likes pushing her little bum out, I got a picture of it. You can see a bump at the top of my belly. But I'm not going to even try and upload it, only to have it tell me that it failed to upload. Stupid computer!

Speaking of her bum...I'm pretty sure she is heads down. I feel her hiccups pretty low and there are other reasons why I think she's heads down. But anyway...at my last appointment the doctor was feeling my belly to see if she could tell how Elliott is postioned. She said that she couldn't tell, and she'd try again at my next appointment, and if she can't tell again she'll get an ultra sound. I'm kind of hoping that she can't tell, and she does an ultra sound, then I can ask her to confirm that Elliott is in fact a girl. (I'm paranoid!) My next appt. is May 4th, the same day I get on the train for K-Falls. Exciting! Thankfully I'll only be gone a week because I'm going to weekly appointments after this next one. Oh and mama is planning  baby shower for while I'm down there! I didn't think I was going to get one. I'm so excited!!

My record for this last week is 6. I woke up to pee 6 times in one night. SIX! It's rediculous! I'm going to do my best to NOT beat that record.  I also managed to eat 6 cupcakes in 2 days...yeah it was yummy but I sent the rest with Matt to work, because I didn't want end up gaining 6 pounds in one week. =) I managed to drink 6 cups of water yesterday, which is pretty good for me. And of course I only have 6 weeks until my due date. 6 days until I leave for K-Falls. Oh and I got 6 stars on Mario Party last night. =) lol I wonder how many other 6's I can find. Wow..I'm bored.

8 Months

8 months (32 weeks)

Ok so I've got about 5-10 weeks left. (Since "full term" is 37 to 42 weeks) I'm hoping to hit her due date, give her enough time to cook. But I'm bored. Don't get me wrong, I love feeling her move, her hiccups, and all that. But I'm in that part of pregnancy where nothing seems to be going on. I'm used to her kicks, I'm passed all the "big" appoitments. The next big thing to look forword to is labor and delivery, which feel like forever away. I've finally got TONS of clothes (mostly from craigslist) but  have to wait until next Tuesday to wash them (I want to soak the used clothes in oxyclean to get out any stains and dingy-ness.) Tuesday will also be the day we buy little baby hangers to hang up all her little outfits, and some plastic storage dresser thingy's to put her onsies, towels, lotion and other assortated baby items. That at least will give me something to do for a day or two. I was hoping to have Elliott's bed (a pack-n-play that has a bassinet top someone is giving us) last week, but it was decided that it would come up next month. I'm not sure why and I wish it where different considering I have no idea when next month and Elliott could easily come anytime next month, and it'd be nice if she had a bed.

Other, slightly not baby related, stuff we have to get done...We are looking for a hide-a-bed couch, so that when mom and Holly get back up here they will have somewhere they can sleep that we can easily put away during the day. Our apartment is so small that once I get all the baby stuff organized there will be no room for guests to sleep (hence the hide-a-bed couch.) We've got to get rid of some stuff (my keyboard, and random nick-nacks, and hopefully Peggie's hope chest) so that we have the room to actually walk around in the apartment.

I've got other things to keep me busy until Mom and Holly come back. We just bought Zelda (used) for the Wii. Holly dropped off 3 books and a couple of Wii games when they were here, and then there are 2 more books that Matt and I bought not to long ago. But I can easily finish one book in a day if I let myself. But I sit at home alone all the time so even reading isn't helping with that.

I've made a friend. We met a while ago, and she just had a little boy on Easter. We might get together this weekend to hang out and so I can see the baby (which will more than likely just make me want mine even more.)

Doctor appointments are every 2 weeks now. But they seem so pointless! We'll sit there for over half an hour and only talk to the doctor for about 5 min. They check weight, ask how the baby is moving, take a urine sample, listen to baby's heart beat, measure my belly and send us on our merry way. It's tireing. The only good thing about the days I have appointments is Matt gets half the day off of work.
Ok now I'm just rambling because I'm bored and lonely. =P
