37 Weeks (maybe 3 left!)

Well last week I wasn't ready to do the whole labor and delivery thing, but this week I'm all for it.  In fact the sooner the better ;P  Pat on the other hand could give it a couple of days if not the whole 3 weeks.  He is very very busy at work and even though he loves me and his children, he has a passionate dedication to his customers and will find it difficult to put anything on hold to go have a baby.  But he will do it, and I told him to start booking a little lighter next week cause thats when SJ is being born.  No I haven't developed a precognative condition, I'm just hoping and praying!

As for Mr. SJ and his grumpy mama, well he is growing by leaps and bounds, my stomache grew by 3 cm's in one week, and I gained 2 pounds!!!  Last week I was measuring a week behind, 35cm for 36 weeks, but this week I'm at 38cm for 37 weeks!  So he's huge and I'm past uncomfortable.  His movements aren't annoyances anymore, they are painful and almost deliberate.  Coupled with the HORRIBLE heart burn and many other complaints, I am totally prepaired to have him much sooner than later.  Another reason I think I'm going to have him early, I just don't feel good.  It's not just the normal complaints, I just feel crappy.  And I remember feeling that way with Alex the day before I had her.  I've already burned through all my nesting energy, finishing SJ's room was a huge undertaking!  So I'm using any energy I have left to go about my day to day routine, try to get this disaster of a house cleaned and finish year end!  My day to day routine is taking a hit, Alex is going to be missing some days at preschool because by Wednesday I really don't have enough in me to take her lol.

While I'm typing this part of the entry its actually 4:30am on Wednesday.  I woke up with a charlie horse and cannot get back to sleep.  Oh I'll get there eventually but it will be at 8:00am when Alex is up and asking for a million things at once lol.  Just another little complaint lol.

As for the Princess Alexandria, I am amazed everyday with all the new things she does and the stuff that comes out of her mouth.  Last week she and Pat were home together one night while I was out with Des picking up her wedding dress.  Alex was being really cuddly so Pat was looking up on youtube all the old cartoons we used to watch as kids.  Well he came across Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Alex fell in LOVE.  She thinks it was the greatest show invented and sings the intro very loudly.  The really funny this is she won't watch it unless Pat is home.  He comes through the door and after she does her daily yell of "DADDY YOUR HOME!"  she asks "can we watch the turtles?"  She is also getting impaitient for SJ to come.  She has asked Dr. Keller at every visit if he can take him out.  She has also convinced herself that telling SJ, through the uterine wall, to come out will work.  "Joseph you're going to come out so I can change your diaper now"  Then she looks at me "Mom you should go to the hospital so I can change his diaper."  So even Alex is ready for this monster to make his apperance.  Even poor Bruce is getting impatient.  Everytime I go near him, he kinda looks at me like "Ok now is the time to disrupt my senior years, get it over with already cause I'm not getting any younger!"

Well I hope the next post will be to announce the arrival of our little man!  May you all be sleeping right now, because I sure wish I was ;P  lol
