baby week has arrived...

-
So, it's officially baby week in the MacDonald household.  Alex is over the top excited about 3 things -
1. Getting a baby
2. Spending a couple of nights with his Nana & Papa while Mommy's in the hospital
3. Getting his Uncle Adam to come visit

Good thing we've got a few things to keep us entertained over the next couple of days.  Swimming lessons start today, then a haircut for Magoo, a pre-baby BBQ with my SIL & her family, and a baby appointment, soccer & more swimming on Wednesday.  That is, if this baby belly of mine stays put until Thursday which is induction day.

I've been having some pretty steady contractions over the last few days but no other signs that anything is imminent.. so I'm pretty sure Thursdays' gonna be the day.

I can't believe how quick the time has gone.  I've tried to enjoy every minute of this pregnancy, because I know it's my last - but the back aches, sore belly & barfiness will not be missed.

first of all.. thanks to you mommas out there who posted comments on my "bad day" post. none of my friends really have babies and nobody quite gets what i'm trying to say. i guess i'm going to have to find a way to meet some other moms. on another note, we just brought my little man home from outpatients. he's got infections in both ears and a terrible cold. he's miserable, but still smiling. update: little man is finally in bed. mark & i decided to stay here in oxford for one more night just so we didn't uproot alex after the hubbub of the hospital. we're going to head off tomorrow. i'm looking forward to getting home to my own house, but it sure is nice to have mom's help with alex being sick.

i am sick.

i normally don't go to the doctor. i broke down and went this morning since my cold has turned into something a little more evil, a little more menacing. that's right. i've got a throat infection and was on the verge of strep throat. so, 10 days of penicillin are supposed to cure me. god i hope so. mark's home today, so we just took alex out for a walk, with a pit stop at the kiwi for white hot chocolate & the best ginger cookies on the planet, and i'm a happy camper. 5000 calories later, life is good. i weighed in for weight watchers on monday and lost 1.6 lbs last week. that set me at exactly what my weight was at my very first OBS appointment when i was 11 weeks preggo. only 29 more lbs to go.
