Now I'm finally almost 36 weeks. It feels like it has taken forever to get here. Especially in the last month of so. Yes, I'm getting really tired of all the aches and pains and just waiting for it to be OVER. Maybe for good. Maybe not. Michael and I haven't decided yet. But that's another discussion for another day.
I'm working on my quilt. I finished the top layer and spent hours with my sewing maching trying to machine stitch it. ..... and it really looked like crap. My tension was all off, the blanket was heavy (which worsened the tension), the stitches were all uneven, and now I'm 2/3 finished unpicking it. I'm going to have someone do a cute little design on it and probably finish off the binding because after 768 little squares, I'm done. The thought of having to do one for James makes me exhausted. I think about the mess, the thread, the lint, the tedious, tiniest, little squares. I really wanted to make a summer and winter blanket for both kiddos but that might be a little ambitious. Not that I'm not ambitious, it's just that we are finally landscaping the backyard this fall!!!! Totally EXCITED! And we are painting the house too. I just submitted the application to the HOA today and I will know in a few weeks if we are good to go. The weather guys at work say they think it will be a warm, dry winter. My guilt has taken over because James tries to desperately to open the patio door to go play outside. Unfortunately all there is, is lots of dirt and lots of bimmer bombs.
What else? Work is pretty blah. I think I might be cross-eyed now from staring at and building spreadsheets all day. I think at work we are trying to push Excel to its limits. It's just crazy how much modeling we have done in Excel. Seems almost like abuse. I can't wait for my next rotation - hopefully I will get to go to a gas plant - preferably Santan. We will see.
The plan is 6 weeks off, and 2 weeks back part time, full time after 8 weeks. I will probably die. I tried to "gear up" by hauling Michael to Costco with me to get some Monster Energy drinks since they had a coupon for it. . . and I got yelled at. I got the word of wisdom lecture and so I didn't fight him on this one (I'm pretty stubborn usually I get things my way). But I think he might be right. I'll just have to find another way to stay awake. In the morning I usually do pretty good with just ice water and fruit. Oh how I love crispy apples. My favorite!
The contractions have pretty much gone away and now I'm afraid she's not going to come early. BUMMER. I'm debating whether or not to ask my doc to induce me a week early. I have no reason to, other than the fact that I'm tired of working my butt off and am just ready to take some time off.

I read your post to Art and here is his 2 cents:
Eat sunflower seeds to stay awake.
Don't induce early. the baby isn't ready. that's the problem with our society today: nobody wants to wait anymore. if you wanted to take the baby out early, you should have just taken it out at 3 mos and thrown it in a fish bowl.
oh yah, and dirt is good for kids so let James play in the dirt.
Art said it all, not me.
oh and let me take out the last 1/3. really. just let me.
You can do it!!!!! :)
but no energy drinks, cut down on other things that will allow you to rest more :)
also, enjoy these last days with just James... they are precious!
You always amaze me with all of your talents! :D
