So I am officially 8 months pregnant! Wow.... I can't even believe have fast the time has gone by. I guess maybe because Michael and I always have so much going on or because I've had a very easy pregnancy, but it seems like the past 32 weeks have just flown by. Which I suppose is a good thing because I've heard from so many other women that their pregnancy just drug on, but in the same token, it feels like it's going too fast and I am starting to panic that I am not prepared!
Our childbirth education class started last Monday and let me tell you, I definitely started to feel that overwhelmed feeling shortly after. Believe it or not, Michael and I were the oldest couple in there, (yes... I was the oldest mom there) and out of all 6 couples, Michael and I were only 1 of 3 couples where the father was present, the others had mom's, sisters or friends as the coaches. It was a three hour class and it actually was very informative and very eye-opening. All I could think about was, "should I be taking notes like in college?" I seriously felt like that, because I am so deathly afraid of forgetting something important and choking on delivery day. It's kind of sobering to think that in 8 weeks or even less, I'm going to be going through childbirth.... holy shit..... I don't know if I am ready for this yet.... ::gulp::
Michael and I's house is *supposed* to close escrow this Friday, but we're still waiting from some final minor things from the escrow company, but we're stilling keeping our fingers crossed for this Friday. You'd think I'd be packing already, but since we don't have an answer on if it'll be this Friday or not, rather then sit amongst boxes I am waiting to get the final say so. Of course our house closing escrow comes at the most stressful time, it never fails right? With Michael scheduled to have business trips these next two weeks and it being is birthday next Thursday, everything is up in the air until we get a final answer on when our house closes escrow. Personally, I think it won't close till next week, but I am really hoping it closes this Friday instead, at least giving us a week to vacate our current home, as opposed to rushing to vacate it in one day... so we'll see!
Ahhhh! All I want to do is get moved in and get the babies nursery complete, maybe then I'll feel a little more at ease and this whole unprepared feeling will finally go away..... I keep saying though.... watch him come early. See I have this feeling, and hopefully I'm wrong, but I keep thinking Noah is going to grace us with his presence earlier than expected. David's girlfriend Alex is betting that he's going to come around the last week of May.... so we'll see. When we had our 4D ultrasound they told me that my belly is pretty small and he looks awfully cramped in there, so that within itself got me a little freaked out that he'll force his way out of there sooner, or that my Doctor will tell me I need a C-Section, so we'll see as the next few weeks progress. But for now, I am just trying to focus on the day to day in an effort to NOT stress myself out! So tonight... back to childbirth education where we will be going over the ENTIRE birthing process..... YIKES!
