32 Weeks

Only 8 more weeks left, but somehow I keep thinking I will deliver early. Maybe 1-2 weeks before my due date. Jeremy is hoping for an October 31st baby, but I just don't think he will stay in that long. I had a scare about 2 weeks ago. I came to work, and just didn't feel right. I was very, very crampy. I had menstrual like cramps and Braxton Hick's like you wouldn't believe. Fortunately I was already scheduled to have a OB appointment. I went to the OB, told them how I had been feeling and they gave me a fetal fibronectin test and ultrasound. They were able to determine that the chances of my going into preterm labor (before 35 weeks) was slim. Thankfully! I am NOT ready for him to be born yet. I have a million things to wrap up at work, and even more at home, well like 1/2 a million at home.

I worked 40 regular hours this week, plus got paid my 8 holiday for Monday, so basically I worked 4 10 hour shifts this week. I was so behind because I had taken 2 vacation days, the week before. I don't have anyone to cover my workload while I am out, so I was swamped! I worked 9:30 am to 8pm, yesterday and 6am to 6:45pm today. There were a few bumps this week, so it was hard just working 10 hour shifts, each day. Ara and Tolk had a death in the family, on their dad's side...and Emma was abandoned at school by her aunt, yesterday. I ended up picking her up after school today, bringing her back to work with me, then Jeremy grabbed her on his way up the hill. Thank goodness my job is so flexible! I honestly don't know how I would manage some days!

My laptop has been in the shop, and I just got it back. So I thought I'd quickly update this page. I am still fighting off a cold. I have a cough that won't go away, it sucks...but I hear that colds last a lot longer, when you are pregnant. I see the OB again this coming Monday, then the following week I have another anatomy ultrasound. Jeremy and I also tour the hospital on Sunday, and will fill out admission paperwork.....

I am going to end this now...Emma is here and she is begging to go to bed....
Update soon!
