You know that country song, "Emotional Girl" by Teri Clark...? "...I'm an emotional girl, I can't help myself. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry, sometimes I do both and I don't know why..." Yeah, that's me these days! I've decided that hormones really suck! I had 3 major breakdowns within 2 hours the other night. It all started with me trying to find something to wear to go to dinner. Nothing fancy, i just wanted to throw on a decent tee shirt and my jeans (I was in my jammies, they're waaay more comfortable than real clothes) and go. No such luck. Every shirt I have fits no further than my bellybutton. Not attractive, even with the layered look. I have very nice maternity shirts, but they require some thought and planning to wear. They're more dressy than I was needing at that time. Anyway, yesterday I had to go buy new shirts. All is well for the time being. ;o) The other two breakdowns were really ridiculous and not worth sharing! LOL! Poor Cory! I figure if he can stick with me through this, he'll stick with me forever!!! This 3rd trimester is a lot more emotional than the first...and than I expected. I'm finally ready for this pregnancy to be over. I'm not sick of it, I still enjoy all her, not-so-little, movements and the hiccups are great. I love watching her reaction to music (She loves Michael Buble too!) oh, and heartburn has become my new best friend! I'm ready to meet her and I really miss being able to tie my shoes. I can see how eventually you're just flat out done! In about 3 weeks I'll be considered "full term" and although they won't stop labor from progressing at the point I'm at now, they'll be expecting it then! That's so amazing to me. The time, as it happens, seems to go by SO slow, but when you look at the whole big picture, it seems like it's flown by!
Anyway, I'm a slacker, so here's the update from my last appointment.
32 week check up: Everything, once again, was great! I weighed in at 147 *sigh*. Next time I go in they're going to have to start off by moving the big weight thing on the bottom directly to 150! ;o) Oh well! As long as I have a healthy baby! Ellie is still head down and this time the dr. said it's unlikely that she'll move from that position. Kind of cool! Her heart beat was strong as well as her movements and the dr. had a hard time keeping up with her to get a heart rate! Busy, busy, busy! Other than that we really didn't find out anything new. We have an appt. on Wednesday (April 2nd) to pre-register at Labor and Delivery so that when I go into labor, I don't have to stop at ER or anything first, I can just go straight up! Should save us a little time and brain power in the heat of the moment! I can't think of very many things that would be more annoying than trying to fill out my name, SSN and signature 3258745 times while working through contractions! :o)
34 week check up: April 15, 2008

Doing your paperwork ahead of time will definitely save you a big headache. We did purs at our 36 week appointment, so that all that was left was for the nurses to fill in Hayden's birthdate. The funny thing is...they screwed that part up! We just got an uncertified copy of her birth certificate to look over and submit back to the state with any corrections, and the only thing wrong with it is the birthdate! It shows March 5th...she was born on the 4th! Oh well, I'm glad you're pregnancy is almost over...it is the best feeling to finally be able to hold them. Take care sweetie, and we'll talk to you soon!

Aww sissy! I can't believe you're almost done! I remember when I was in the position you are and was crazy emotional (which I am normally anyway lol so I was a zillion times worse I bet) and wishing it was over! Pretty soon she'll be 6 months old and you'll be wondering where the time went and wishing you were pregnant again! lol
miss you
hugs Buzz & DC
