Pregnancy, Week 39

~ I've had a recent foretaste of what being homebound with an infant is going to be like. I've had a cold for a week now, a strange mix of pregnancy and cold symptoms. Heartburn?-- pregnancy. Runny nose and hacking phlegm?--cold. Headaches?--could be either. My doctor's going to prescribe antibiotics on Thursday if it's not gone by then. I'm just praying I'm not sick when I deliver this baby!!

~Speaking of which, Joey thinks she'll be early. I think she'll be late, July 1, to be specific. Any takers on when she'll arrive? (I've only had Braxton-Hicks contractions 1x, about 2 weeks ago. I am not dilated at all.)

~We finally agreed on a name=). I didn't think I'd end up w/one so traditional, but Joey vetoed all my 'weird' 'trendy' names. It's probably a good thing.

~I don't know why, but I've frequently thought to myself "this would be so difficult as a single parent." Joey's been amazing & so attentive throughout this whole experience. I love my husband.

~Joey's office has been partially converted into a nursery. We're ready for you baby!!

hahah I love how the football calendar hangs near her mobile, perhaps she will cheer for the redskins early on! make sure you buy pleanty of boxes of nursing pads- i personally recommend lansinoh(most comfy). hmmmm what else...you know what helped me during my labor- john and my mother massaging all four of my extremities- it's supposed to help progress the process!
