31 weeks
32 weeksOnly about 6 and 1/2 weeks until my due date! I can't believe it. I'm almost 34 weeks now. It will be here before we now it. I'm really having fun getting everything ready. I've had a long list of baby things and we've been wittling away at it for a while.
I have had a few nights where I have been up with contractions for four to five hours. But my Dr. checked everything and said that everything looked good and to come in if they were any worse than they had been. I haven't had any nights like that for a couple weeks. Just a few contractions here and there. Like last Sunday when I was giving a talk in church. I felt my face get really hot and I almost skipped to the end and sat down. But I decided that my talk was already short enough that I should finish. It wasn't the funnest thing though. I'm just glad that it's over. It was a long week worrying about that stupid talk...poor Billy. He has been wonderful to me. My Dr just had her baby a couple days ago so now she won't be there for a month. So he has to stay in there for at least that long!
