35 Weeks!

Everyone thinks that Annabelle will have a personality a lot like Jason. That is probably true as she is already entertaining us. I don't know how I can handle two Jason's but I will - he makes my life fun and I know she will only add to the goodness. I have a great life and I am very happy in it. I stopped stressing out about things a long time ago, even before I was pregnant, and have not stressed about a single issue since being pregnant. I think that not only was that good for me but it was good for the development of the baby and for her personality. Jason always makes me laugh and some of the stuff he used to say about pregnancy would make me laugh for days (he really had no idea lol). We had child birth class last Saturday and I think it finally hit him what labor and delivery were going to be like. We were put into groups and his group had an epidural needle, his eyes got so big when he was looking at it lol. It is a very big needle - my grandmother told me I wouldn't even feel it. I hope to not need pain medication but like I have mentioned before I have nothing to prove so if I want it I am going to take it.

I went to the doctor on election day and only have one more 2 week visit - after November 19th I am weekly. I get my first exam next visit and the doctor is also going to estimate, by feeling of my stomach, the baby's weight. I am guessing she will be at least 6 or 7 lbs. I figure she is 6 now. I will find out if I have dialated any at that time too. Depending on what the doctor says at my next two visits we will or will not be going home for Thanksgiving.

Due to my body being extremely weird we really have no idea about my due date. Going by the first ultrasound it is December 11th but the doctors said 14th, going by entirely weird and long cycles it would be December 7th. As my doctor told me on Tuesday, ultrasounds are very unrealiable so I guess she could be here as early as Thanksgiving. I think we are as prepared as we can be. We only have small things left to get which are not vital and we will probably get those this weekend. We have cleaning to do as well as getting a building. We plan to get the building the day after Thanksgiving at Lowe's. No interest! Mom always taught me to either pay for something out right or buy it with no interest.

We did some Christmas shopping Saturday and got really good deals. We now get up at the crack of dawn because we go to bed at about 8 pm so we catch good sales. I have three people's Christmas presents bought and my goal was to be done by December 1st and it looks like that might happen. Still unsure about what to get Annabelle - probably Baby Einstein videos, some toys and maybe a walker.
