June 9, 2008, cool and 31 weeks!

AND I HAVE THE WINDOWS OPEN!!! I can't believe it! Went outside with the dogs and it was cooler than it was inside! I knew something was odd when I heard the A/C kick OFF around 5:30pm...

Well, I think the baby is going through a growth spurt...all of a sudden tonite my tummy feels really heavy, like pulling me forward heavy, like harder to get up all of a sudden heavy. It is strange. Maybe its because I just finished the biscuits and gravy. But there were only 2 biscuits left. It's not anymore than I would normally eat, and I am FULL. But I think it's the baby.

I feel like I have been shopping online with a vengeance! I bought Adam's birthday presents the other day, I got maternity panties, I ordered 3 (yes 3) Ipod car chargers, because mine broke, and these 3 with shipping was cheaper than the ONE we bought at the apple store over a year ago, and I don't want to have to get a new ipod battery...

Of course now that I look it up on Amazon, I find they have them for like $10 plus shipping.

Although - now that I have signed up for amazon prime, I can't find anything that I am shopping for that qualifies for the super saver shipping. Irritating...

Back to shopping, I have found a laundry hamper that I am about to buy. It is $20 and iron, and I may keel over if, after sorting the laundry on the closet floor, I find one more HUGE cockroach. So, I am about to make this purchase. We may have a delivery every day for the next week or so!

Oh, and I must confess, it must be the hormones, but all of a sudden (in the last month or two) I am strangely attracted to MIKE ROWE!!! With a sickness! Every time I see him on dirty jobs, or some old you tube of QVC, or perhaps signing the National Anthem, http://youtube.com/watch?v=1xhSBniwGbM&feature=related , or one of my favorites http://youtube.com/watch?v=WN7D-iTOvTQ&feature=related I just can't get enough. I mean I have Dirty Jobs paused on tivo RIGHT NOW!

I go back for my 2 week visit on Thursday, and then another Maternal Fetal Medicine appointment a week from tomorrow, which means it has been another month. I will only have ONE more MFM visit, after next week, before the baby comes!!! WOW!! It is getting so close.

I have been OCD'ing on other pains after birth, besides my 'undercarriage' being completely destroyed for a while, I have nipple pain to look forward to. OH BOY! The baby will want to feed about 8-12 times PER DAY, sucking on the same 2 places, over and over and over again. And we cannot begin bottle feeding until he is a month old or so, because he will get 'nipple confusion'. I will get pee'd on, sucked until raw, awoken ALOT, bleed, and STILL BE SOBER for all of this excitement! But, there will be a sweet little baby boy relying on me completely to sustain his life, and make him as happy and comfortable as possible. I sure hope I can take some sort of vicodin or something, and least to help alleviate my vaginal floor discomfort (if you will). This, I look forward to the least.

However, Adam will be staying home with me for a month, and this reminds me, we will need to get the paternal leave paperwork back from the doctor on Thursday. (Niner is smiling and panting furiously right now...)

Didn't sleep for shit last night. Kept thinking about all these damn lists I need to make. Bris invitation lists, thank you notes, I can't even remember what else... OH! ADAM IS HOME!!!!
