So I'm about 90 % sure I have begun getting Braxton Hicks contractions. The good news is, that they're not bad at all, just a little annoying and makes me nervous a little b/c she really does still need to "bake" a few more weeks. The bad news is, that they're starting to become more frequent. I probably had about 6-10 at work today. Not something you want to have happen when you're in the middle of taking care of patients. My only true fear of labor is having my water break while at work in front of everyone. Other than that, I'm really not that stressed about it.
I am going to attempt to at least labor in the water and if the right doctor is on call when I go into labor, I intend to attempt a water birth with no drugs. People think I'm crazy. Don't care. I really honestly think if I hadn't had the "shakes" so bad and been only 17 the first time around, I really could have made it with no drugs the first time, but we'll see.:-)
Only 49 more days of pregnancy left and only 26 days of work left (both approximations of course). I can't wait! Don't mind the being pregnant bit, but I am SO ready to meet the little ballerina living in my belly!!

I still suck at blogging, but hope my new netbook helps...
Hello all! It has been a dreadfully long time since I last posted and I apologize. As soon as I get home these days I get something to eat, do homework with the kids, and usually then go to bed. It makes it hard to blog...and on top of that, whenever I do have time to blog, I have no computer on which to do it...since the kids are always on the laptop and my husband is generally on his computer. Or Kayla's on Shawn's computer and Jarrin or Jimmy are on the laptop. Sigh. So, I had mentioned to Shawn that I might like to get a little netbook that would be just mine that the kids can't use and that I can use when all the other computers are taken. He surprised me by ordering one this week and it arrived on Friday. It's pink and adorable and I like it so far...it is a bit small and will take some getting used to, but I'm sure it won't take long.
On the pregnancy forefront, I cannot believe that we have only SEVEN weeks left before our baby will be here! And that is if she doesn't come early! It's a shocker I tell you! I have been counting down the days though, especially now that at least the living room is painted and the carpet is in. One less thing to do. I am working on painting a changing table now. Chocolate brown and I'm going to do pink accents. I also need to do a second coat on the bassinette and my co-worker is working on putting a new cover on the bassinette pad. I am also going to put some ribbon accents on it. It should look cute:-) I also made her a blanket. It's fleece and all I did was cut it and tie the ends, but I don't care. I still made it. LoL.
The shower is finally scheduled and coming up soon. I can't wait! I have been holding off on buying some things, especially clothes, because I don't want to buy a bunch of stuff and then get a bunch of doubles at the shower. Right now she only has one winter outfit...to come home from the hospital in! Lol
Anyways, everything is going great and I'm feeling fantastic. I still need to get some belly pics on here (I KNOW Amber...) but I can't take them myself and we've all been so busy! Hopefully, I will get my USB port working soon and put up some pics of the house (once everything is back where it's supposed to be) and belly pics too. Love to you all and hopefully I will be posting a lot more often!
