C-Sections

My cousin Erin is pregnant with twins - Emory and Holden - they (the dr.'s)have decided that she should have a C-section Wednesday at 1pm. All is fine and there is nothing to worry about but it got me thinking - as nervous as I am about the uncertain-ness of labor (length and pain) I think that knowing that on a certain day and at a certain time that I was going to have a baby would be much more stressful. Sleep would go out the door - which it already has most nights - but if I was told that at 10am tomorrow that I would walk in to a hospital and have a baby I would freak. Some people I know like the planning aspect of it all - it is nice and neat and they don't have to worry about the unknown (they would also be absolutelt ready which is a plus) but I think that that knowing that total certainest is a bit unnerving. This whole pregnancy thing is still so strange - I am growing a baby inside of me - a person - I feel her kick and move and roll over - she'll sometimes respond to my touch - she is a person - I know physically how it all happens but scientifically it is a miracle to me.

31 weeks done

I always get so confused - have I been pregnant for 31 weeks or amd I starting my 31st week - I believe that I have been pregnant for 31 weeks and am officially starting my 32nd week today and how scary is it that you are only pregnant for 40 weeks - I am almost done - I know that I have lagged on the pictures and I need to get on that but for some reason not much gets done anymore. I am tired and working and my ankles have started swelling and we have baby class every week and well coming home and plopping on the couch is a nice thing to do some days.
My work threw me a baby shower on Wednesday and it was GREAT - I had been dreading it as I don't particularly like being the center of attention but since everything was for Bella it made it all that much easier - Bella made out! and once I get the camera settings corrected on my computer I will post some pictures. The people at my work were so kind it was overwhelming - again I feel so blessed to have such nice people in my life.
Happy Friday peeps enjoy the rain....
