Sleep?

Due to cats and other pressing (Bumpy) issues I didn't get much sleep last night. Though it's been better that I am not stressed out from work, I am still trying my best to get the nesting done (I don't think it will occur until I can move again without baby). Went for a walk with the new stroller. Instead of baby there was a stuffed monkey looking at me. Yes I know it's weird but I didn't want to be a pregnant lady with nothing inthe stroller. It gave me some experiance that I wouldn't have know about and I could make mistakes with out it hurting bumpy.

I also mad a small video for Bumpy but until I edit it no one will see it. Promise it will make you all cry!

Stayed home and slept

Am a stay at home cat now. Went to work to give them my MD note and took care of some small things like turn in my time card and try to unlock the web portal that is a window to the world at work.

Came home and stayed awake for a bit to look at a few websites and then took a 3 and half hour nap. It kept getting interrupted by the airplanes that fly above but it beats the apartment that I was staying in during my last home stay. So officially I am 36 weeks and yesterday was measuring at 37 and a half weeks with bumpy.

Cinco de Mayo and staying home

Today is some what of a great day. I got to get out of work to an MD appointment where I was admonished by the doctor because of not seeing my med doctor (can't help that with no car BTW) got to see Bumpy in the head down position which I think it will stay for the last 4 weeks (36 weeks tomorrow!) again plus or minus depending on the attitude Bumpy takes. Heart beat very much beating away. Got my "get out of work disability" card as well. I went to the Medical claims area and they stated that I needed to go back to the MD to get the note that's required, so I filled out the forms and went back to the MD office. I was told to wait for a few minutes but it was turning into an hour. I finally got the note at 4:50pm and then went home with hubby. By the time we got home we were so sleepy that we are going to kick the kitties out tonight and see if we can get a better night sleep.

Braxton Hicks or just my back getting angry at me?

I think both. At work I can't sit very long and I am having trouble walking to and from the potty and the small cafe that has free soda. (Bonus in my opinion!) But it very much hurts and even though I went to be at 8:30 last night I feel like I am getting 4 hrs max sleep. Hubby stated that I tossed and turned through out the night when I woke up at 5 am when the alarm actually went off. Tomorrow I go to the OB and going to measure Bumpy to see the approx. size that it will be at the time of delivery. Again Estimated weight and length. I am thinking around 8 to 8.5 lbs and 20-22 inches long, by the looks of my belly.

I am hoping for the OB to say "you need to stop working. I'll write you a note". Yes it means solitary again but being able to take a break from sitting or standing is all good in my book.

Also I need to organize a bit before Cyclone Baby Shower and Bumpy arrive. I can't believe its this weekend. So long ago I was saying that it would never get here. But I guess at the time being hit by the Truck and having the If Bumpy survive question in my head made me a little doubtful I would get to this point with this belly! I don't need to ponder the if's any more, just the whens and hows.

Its one month till EDD

Yep its May 3rd and Bumpy is EDD June 3rd. Didn't do much just went to Berlingame Ave and ate Brunch at Burger Joint (very disappointing from the ones in the City) and then went to Costco for some food stocking up, as people tend to do as the baby gets closer to being due. I got hubby mad at me for wanting him to come to where I was in line and because it was crowded he got upset that he couldn't move because there were a lot of people cutting him off. It was resolved in the end but tears were shed and I feel bad about the whole situation. Then we went home and I am in bed and feeling TIRED!

May Showers to bring June Flowers (?)

Have no clue but its been rainy off and on today so that's helping me with my body heat and not getting too hot. This morning/after noon we went to Bridgepoint and ate brunch at Mimi's. My thoughts is that it's a place where you take your grandmother to and have some family time.

Then we went to the Hallmark store and bought the thank you cards for the shower. They are going to be shipped here so I don't have to go there on a Saturday when I could pop at any time. Also I was looking at a birth announcement that was really simple and had the Pooh theme with a picture window so when the baby is born we could make prints and send them a picture with the announcements. Also since the envelopes can be lined, so I got the idea of lining them in the color of either gender when Bumpy (LBJ) comes out. Something of a small but nice touch in my opinion and I bought a Mom and Baby angel. I couldn't buy the pregnancy angel because Bumpy is almost done baking and when we went there the last few times they were all sold out :( So I was allowed to buy the Mom and Baby angel as it fit the next stage in my life. I am going to get the pregnancy one for the next time. I think Hubby is thinking I will forget it. HA No chance!

After that we walked to Target and got some items for the house. I got a new pillow for the night time. Extra firm, I wonder how long that will last.

Rounded back to SF and got our one year 6" cake order from Victoria bakery. YUMMY! The lady there stated that Bumpy was looking like a boy. I feel bad that I haven't put any pictures up of the progression of Bumpy. :( I will at least have the shower pictures and more things than just words on here, I promise!

Then went to Lucas on 22nd st and got some treats for me, hubby and Bumpy. Another YUMMY! I think we stocked up good and plenty for the few weeks that I have left to be pregnant. I don't know if the food will last past that but it will be enjoyed for the time its here.

Came back home but stopped to get Adult cat food for Bindi. She's turning 1 yr old this month so we are in transition kibble mode for her. I am a bit sad because she's not tiny and kitten like any more. I am going to take it probably harder when Bumpy gets older.

I am going to get a talking to tomorrow because I haven't told them about my MD appointment yet and its Tuesday. And I don't think I am going to make up the time if I get the MD to sign off on Disability so I may have to use the PTO I have left. A whole 1.5.

Its MAY!

WOOT! I am not going to make a huge deal as I did spend the day at work and had OT (voluntary but still OT) today. I got a bit more educated on the maternity leave today and its due able that I can stay out for a little longer than I expected. I was very uncomfortable when I was sitting at work because my back started to seize up and was getting over heated just by doing work with a fan and the AC blowing. So I think its my last few days there at work. :( But bright side is that I get to relax at home and ponder the baby items and to make sure that I get rest when I need it and not when I get off of work.
