33 weeks

On Wednesday, October 13, 2010, we reached the 33 week mark! Possibly only 7 more weeks to go to the big day!

We graduated from our birthing class and were able to take a tour of the hospital. Brad and I have been to the hospital several times to visit friends and babies, but we had never seen certain rooms/areas so I'm glad that we went, although seeing an actual birthing room and all the rolling hospital beds was quite frightening. Brad picked up a little cold, but is feeling better now, but now I am feeling a little under the weather-I'm definitely not at 100%! You can't take any of the good medication while you are pregnant!

I decided that this weekend would be dedicated to washing most of Ellis's stuff. I went and bought some Dreft detergent and wash bags yesterday and did load after load while I also did some work that I brought home. This was exhausting, but Ellis has freshly laundered bath towels and washcloths, burp cloths, blankets, socks, hats, hospital clothes, newborn clothes and most 3 month clothing. The drawer liners are also in and I've started organizing all of the stuff that needs to go to the hospital (including my necessities). I feel like the count down is definitely on and I just don't want to be too unprepared.

Work has been very kind to me and has hired a temporary employee to help me out. It is going very well, but it just reinforces the fact that I could be out at any time, which is sort of scary! I decided if it was appropriate for me to have a temp at work that I need to start training my "temp" at home (i.e. Brad). We've gone over how to clean the bathrooms, how to put clothes in the washer/dryer, and how to vacuum. Although Brad doesn't perfectly vacuum where you can see the lines in the carpet, I've decided to ignore this and just be grateful for the help. :) Yes, I am very ocd, this is nothing new.

After a 9 hour workday so cut me some slack. :)

Do you think we can make it to 40 weeks?!
