3.5 weeks left!!! Woo hoo!!!

The past couple days have been busy!!!

Yesterday I had my chiro appointment. I love going there. It's just such a positive place, and I always feel great when I leave there. I go tomorrow too!!!

After the chiros I went to TJ Maxx to see if I could find something to use for a diaper bag. I got this amazing bag, and am going to use that. At first I thought it was too big, but when I got home and packed it for the hospital I found that it's not too big at all!! But it looks HUGE! I may get a small one as well, but I love the one I found at TJ Maxx. And it was only 25 bucks!!!! Even better. lol

At noon I had to go to the stinkin ortho because a bracket came loose last week. So they glued that back on. After that I went to Wal-Mart and did some major shopping. I wanted to make sure we have everything we need in case I go into early labor! Plus I still had a couple baby things to get. I wanted to get 8 gallon trash bags for the diaper pails, huggies diapers (I already have Pampers, but of course the baby could be allergic them, so I wanted to make sure we had a variety).

Today I had my midwife appointment. She helped put my hospital fears at ease and assured me that I could have the natural birth I want in the hospital and that the nurses wouldn't be a problem. She says the nurses are used to working with the midwife patients and natural birthing mommies, that it's not a big deal. So I feel much better about my labor and delivery now... it was just a momentary freak out. Don't get me wrong, if we could afford it I would totally be having a home birth, but it just isn't feasible. Of course I have to freak out about something! But talking to the midwife today really helped put my mind at ease.

Oh and I passed my Group B Strep test!!! It was negative!! Woo hoo!! So I can totally have my IV free birth!!! Yippee!!! My blood pressure was 110/68!

Jen came over tonight to give me a hair cut. She did an amazing job!!! I love it! I wanted to make sure I got my hair cut before the baby was born. My hair was getting so long and I don't want to have to deal with it after the baby is born. It's so much easier to get out of the shower and go without having to use product, blow dry, etc! lol... After the baby it'll get so hard to do all that, and now I don't have to if I don't want too!! Of course, if I want to dress it up a bit I can. So that's good.

Jen seems to be doing good at Megans. She took a few more of her things with her when she left. So she's starting to get everything out of her room so I can get in there and get it all cleaned up for my mom. She didn't seem to be mad at us or anything, so that's good. I was afraid it would be akward, but it really wasn't.

Not much else is going on. Paul and I are doing good. Baby is doing well too! Coopy likes to move around at night a lot and his heartrate was 132 today... Just 3.5 weeks until my due date!!! Yikes, Yay! don't know which one to be...
