Let's see, officially I am starting my 36th week now. Unofficially (if you are going by the new, unofficial due date of Dec 10th) I am 37 weeks. Doctors appointment on Tuesday didn't tell me much, except for that Alexander has a strong heartbeat and is still doing superbly! This weekend is my Delta Gamma baby shower, which I am stoked about! It will be fun to see all (well, a lot of) my sisters again! Although, it is kind of weird going back because I am not entirely in the loop anymore.
A lot of stress has come my way lately with the realization that there is basically less than a month left. We are still short a few very important supplies and knowing that Jason STILL doesn't have a job is not fun. Despite his efforts to apply to a few places, we have heard nothing. And being a stubborn boy, he is difficult to motivate to do anything other than go rock climbing it seems. He has made a list of all the places he is going to apply this week/weekend though, so that is promising! Hopefully SOMEONE will hire him so that we can have diaper money! Of course, the reminder of impending labor via Braxton Hicks contractions isn't too much fun either. It makes me nervous that I will not be able to tell the difference between the beginnings of labor and these. I have never been through it before, so what if I start labor and don't realize THAT'S what's happening to me? I really hope if I have any "false labor" kind of thing it's at a time other than 3am, so I won't feel bad waking up whatever doctor is on call just to have them tell me to go back to sleep... but it will probably happen anyways!
Jason and I have put up our Christmas tree, which is nice, but I have had absolutely NO luck finding a tree skirt that I like that isn't ridiculously expensive. On Friday my friend Brittnee and I are going to the Christmas store by the Galleria to hunt for one, so maybe we will luck out!
Next Tuesday I have another doctors appointment (every week now!) and he is going to see if I have begun to dilate/efface. I am anxious to find out if I have or not because to me it feels as though I could go into labor any day now, even though I am not technically due for another 3-4 weeks. Of course, this is probably just wishful thinking, and these next few weeks are just going to be me complaining of back pain and being tired, and poor Jason having to put up with my moodiness. Sorry honey! :(
Wish me luck!
