Sorry, I know its been a few days, but things have been a little crazy here!  To quickly catch you up, NO I DID NOT HAVE MY BABY YET AND HE IS GROUNDED NOW.  On a much much much better note, my brother-in-law fixed my car for me on Sunday and its running great!  I am so happy to have it back!  THANK YOU!!!

I turned in my work key today… it was almost sad.  Tomorrow is my last day (the day I never thought I’d make it to because I was supposed to have my baby earlier).  It will be weird for me- not working.  Any time I have left an occupation, I’ve gone straight from one to the next.  Since I was 15 years old, I’ve never NOT had a job.  Of course, we all know that Levi will be my job now!

While at work today, I found out that my other brother-in-law and his wife are having a baby boy!  I believe she is about 25 weeks pregnant and just found out the sex of the baby today.  When she texted me to tell me it was a boy, I responded, “Lol, well I won’t tell him that you called him BELLA for half of his fetal existence!”  Although she really wanted a girl, they are happy to have a healthy boy.  I think it will be nice for Levi, too because will have no other cousins close in age to him.

Yesterday was quite a day in itself.  As I mentioned in my previous blog, Tim started his full-time job Monday and I had appointments all across the universe.  Tim was mentally exhausted when he came home and I was physically exhausted.  He’d had a mental over-load, it being his first day on the job, and I was fed up with errands. To make things worse, he’s adjusting his sleeping schedule marginally and I couldn’t go back to bed after he left.  The apartment was strangely empty and I felt pretty lonely.  I’m sort of glad I had to leave all day.  It did me good to be driving in my car.

First, I went to my WIC appointment (which is QUITE a drive down a very unsafe road) only to find out that my appointment wasn’t on that day!  Thankfully they fit me in any way!  Maybe it was because I told them that I couldn’t make it any other day this week…

Second, I went to Paul’s to buy groceries.  I barely had time to unload JUST the freezer and kitchen items when I got home before I had to leave again to see the doctor.

So, third, I went to the doctor.  He said my cervix isn’t opening yet, but Levi has dropped FURTHER- which I did not think possible.  Thankfully, the cervical exam did not hurt at all this time.  I was a little worried it would.  Both the nurse and the doctor complimented me on my toe-nail painting abilities DESPITE the large sphere the hinders me when I do so! :) They jokingly asked me if Tim painted them to which I responded, “I don’t think I would even let him try!”

Fourth, I went to Walmart to pick up toilet paper and a fake wedding ring.  I met a lady on Sunday who had the same due date as I and I told her how lucky she was her wedding ring still fit.  She was like, “Oh, its a $10 fake, my ring is too small right now!”  I had considered picking up a fake ring before, just to have something on my finger and not feel so naked.  So that’s what I did- and I’m not sorry either- I feel a little more normal and my fingers have room to grow into this one!  My real wedding ring is a size 5.5, and I think I’m up to an 8.5 right now…  I hope that goes down shortly after birth because I really miss my ring.  The most interesting thing about my Walmart trip was that I was laughed at in the parking lot.  The car that parked next to me, parked ON THE LINE so there was about a foot and a half of space for me to open my door and squeeze both my belly and purse through.  If you’ve ever been pregnant, you know how hard it can be to get out of a car that is very low to the ground when you are so big!  So here I am, trying to get up and squeeze through this tiny space without scratching the other person’s car with my car door.  I think it took me about 3 minutes.  When I finally make it out, I look up to see this man laughing at me.  At first I was just flustered from the work-out I’d just given myself, so I didn’t really laugh with him.  He then said, “I’m sorry,” and held up his little boy, “We’ve been there too!”  At that point, I had to smile and laugh a little to.  That would be one of the few times I’ve walked into Walmart smiling.

Well, lastly I want to tell you about the nightmare I had the other night.  It was seriously one of the most horrible dreams I have ever had.  The dream started with me being at home and I suddenly went into labor.  I went to the hospital where I was told I was NOT in labor, but they could induce me if I liked.  I, of course, accepted.  So the nurses induced me and then… NOTHING HAPPENED!  The whole stinking dream I walked around the hospital waiting for something to happen and NOTHING!  I was quite put out and I must say that my dreams did a pretty good job of reflecting how I really feel right now.

Well, I am 100% sure this is my longest blog yet- I hope I didn’t make it too long!  Please let me know if I loose your attention! ;)
