Well, I am almost 38 weeks (so much for going in early). The biggest thing that has been going on lately is that I am super exhausted. I feel like all I am doing right now is working and sleeping. I get home and I just can't keep my eyes open, this baby is using up all of my energy. It is kind of hard right now because I am trying to get a lot done at work so that the sub will not have to do it (and do it wrong) and my partner teacher will not get stuck with everything (cause that would suck). I have all of my student assessments done, but I would like to enter them into the computer, and now I have to be concerned that they are going to close the school because of the "swine flu". I find it weird that the national statistics have not listed Wisconsin as having any confirmed cases, yet milwaukee is closing everything.
The baby is still moving a lot and getting very big! I went to the doctor and there is absolutely no progress!!! I thought for sure there would be something with all of the pain I have been experiencing (but still no contractions). Sleeping is horrible right now because I can't roll over without help or leverage, I feel really helpless. I have another doctor appointment on thursday, which includes an ultrasound...I am curious to see what they estimate the baby's weight to be now.
Abe has really been taking care of me lately. I see a nervous excitement in him and it is wonderful to watch. He gets very sentimental sometimes (look at his last post which made me tear up a little) and he just starts telling me everything that he is thinking. I know he is going to be a wonderful father, and that is a very comforting feeling to have at this point. What is even better is that I know that he is very patient (with everything that I have been throwing his way lately). I don't think that I could have asked for anyone better...even though that may not be what I express to him on a daily basis =) ~Valarie
