blood

I've been awful about posting. Sorry! :) I'm tired and not sleeping well at night. Plus I feel like I'm doing even more nesting and trying to stay sane enough that I can keep my job at least through the end of December. The money is way to nice right now. The word is that they are looking at the people who occupy my type of job and seeing who they can eliminate. Jerks.

Erich is going to give blood tomorrow for the triplets. They will need it next week and then they are planning on taking all three home the first week of November. I volunteered to stay a night or two sometime in November to help with nighttime feedings and such, but to be honest I don't know if I'll be able to do it. I'm so tired and seem to be getting rounder by the day! So keep Erich in your thoughts, he hates needles and blood (I know the delivery might be quite entertaining) but he is braving it just for the boys. :) Isn't he sweet? I'd give except they want O type blood ( I have A+) and they wouldn't take it from me cause I'm pregnant.

Speaking of pregnant, there are only 98 days until my due date! Everyone at work says Jan 15 and the guy I work with who never gets gender wrong says girl. So we'll see. I have to go back to work, my break is over. I'll try and write more but busy weekend. Tonight I'm babysitting after work (12 hour day at least! Yipes!) then we go tomorrow to give the blood and then babysit in the evening, and then Sunday I'm going to clean like a mad woman. I'm tired just typing it! Have a great weekend.

Diaper Days

My mom just ordered my diaper package from Earthbaby.com. Yay! One less expense for me. The next big expense I anticipate is the co-sleeper. :) She is giving me the diapers for my baby shower which is November 22. You are all invited though I doubt you would be able to make it to the midwest. :( I have my registry started and there is a ton of stuff on there. Erich put a lot of stuff on there too. I can't help but think that there is something missing from it. Boo. I also have a small registry at Pottery Barn Kids.

Bleh

It's one of those days. I just don't want to be anywhere...

Belly Dancer

I just spent the last twenty minutes or so watching my belly "dance". My mom would have killed to have been here for that. She is dying to feel the baby move, but she is always around when I am eating or when I just get off of work, which are usually down times for baby.

I was lying on my back on the couch and when I am on my back, I put my hand on my belly because I know baby will start to move and I'll feel her. Well I decided that I would lift my shirt and and look down and sure enough my belly ring started moving along with the rest of my stomach. It looked like a little alien stuck in my body trying to get out. Ella, my puppy, even saw it and cocked her head to the side in awe I believe. :) It's so cool. I'm glad she is okay and getting strong. I can't wait to meet you baby and hold you in my arms.

MIA

Sorry I've not been around lately. Busy week last week. I was hit by a 300lb motarized endo cart and pinned to the wall. Baby is fine. I sat in maternal fetal medicine for about 4 hours while they monitored her heartbeat and they did an ultrasound. She is sitting frank breech in there and still keeps her legs closed to see well enough, but they are still saying girl. I have to get back to work now. Enjoy your day and I'll try and write more.
