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
