I was right. The doc has had me coming in weekly starting at about the 8th of March. Which is cool. I get to hear the Crib Lizards little heart beating every Wednesday or Thursday. Awesome! Plus it gets me out of the office about an hour early once a week!
This next up coming week (the 26th thru the 30th) my usual doc/midwife or whatever is on vacation for spring break, so I have to go see a stranger. Luckily, she won't have to violate me. I will just have to do the usual; pee in a cup (which they should make bigger, like kool-aid pitcher size, once the belly gets to big to see over), get weighed in, check my blood pressure, measure the belly, and listen to the Crib Lizards heart beat. That's is basically what my appointments are every single time. Last week I had to have my poonani swabbed with a giant q-tip to test for Group B Strep, which came out negative. Meaning no anti-biotics for me when I go into labor. In fact the doc said yesterday that I could hang out at home as long as I wanted when I started to go into labor and then come into the hospital when I was ready. That made me laugh. As soon as the Hubby knows I'm in labor, we will be in a mad dash to the hospital.
The doc also told me yesterday that the Crib Lizard could be born at any time now and be just fine. In some ways I am very ready for him to be here, but in other ways I'm not. I would like to stay pregnant for just a little longer, even with all the little discomforts, like not being able to sleep well and taking a full 5 minutes to get up out of a chair. I know that the things I feel right now (him moving inside me, the special feeling I get when I rub my belly and talk to him) are mine alone and I won't ever get to feel those things with him ever again after he born. It makes me a little sad. On the other hand, I can't wait to share him with the Hubby. It's a very confusing time!
I wasn't planning on posting about me and the Crib Lizard today. I was going to talk about the little annoyances I have been experiencing, but once I got to talking about him I couldn't stop and I realized I didn't want to relive and rant about the things that pissed me off this week. Its really not worth the stress at this point, you know?
I hope all of you are doing good. Please feel free to post updates on whats up in your world these days in the comments section. I do actually read every single comment you guys leave me and they never fail to make me smile.
*Love and Hugs*

Hello miss anj!!! Im glad to hear you are doing so well, you said post an update about our lives so here you go, My child is a true Trennepohl he is cute and accident prone!!!! We got to spend another fun filled afternoon in the ER!! This time he proke his nose clean straight through and possibley fractured his face, we go back to the Dr. this afternoon to check on it then to a specialist next week. I asked him what he has against his face he just laughed at me in his short 8 years he has knocked out 4 teeth needed stiches in his hear but refused to leave elk camp to it (another tride and true sign of being a Trennepohl) busted up his lip and now his nose. I am so proud of how brave he has been a real trupper he hardly even cryed!! Munchy is doing great and being a good helper to her bubba:) and thats about it around here. I love you and think of you everyday and cant wait to meet little james:)
Baby baby baby baby baby! 18 days is not very long, dude. Ooooh, I'm so excited. I wish I could be there to see the wrinkly little thing when he comes out. Ew, maybe not. Ha. Call me or something sometime soon. Definitely after he comes. But not immediately after. Rest a bit. I hear labor is some tough stuff.
I'm glad you're feeling good! You have to let me know your postal adress one of these days so I can send you a proper card once the little one's there. Do you already have "training contractions"? Every couple of parents to be rushes off to hospital for nothing at least *once*, so if your way is a little longer...
Here? Packing things in cardboard boxes. And yesterday, I almost burnt our kitchen down, which I take as I sign it doesn't want to be moved. :)
