36 weeks!

A full 9 months has passed and i am now considered to be "full-term." i still haven't fully packed my bag and i have to re-wash all the baby clothes and blankets and stuff because the cat got into them. i've been feeling really odd lately. Confusion and disorientation during the day and night. Sleep is a joke. Either i can't sleep or i can't wake up. I'm trying to finish my finals before anything happens but physically, i just don't know if that's going to be possible. The last official day of school for me is December 8th. The baby is all of a sudden low. I don't know if he's dropped or not but i'm feeling the kind of pain i did with Ice and Kev soon before labor. I can tell he's very uncomfortable too.

Today i went to Art just fine, then sat around for an hour talking with the UPS people that were recruiting on campus. I decided to go home then and rest and i felt like my blood pressure was dropping fast- i had coffee and plenty of mentos that morning so i don't know why, but i barely made the drive home- fainted on my couch as soon as i got in the door.

Yes, i know that was dangerous but i was out of other options. Lots of contractions which are now accompanied by medium to painful cramping. i don't know how this is going to end but i'm hoping i can get the two finals i have to do tomorrow done, then a Thanksgiving break and then we'll see. i really want to finish this art class.

34 weeks tomorrow!

These are 2 of the pictures from the photo shoot S. and i did. She was 37 weeks and i was 32. Both on our 3rd kid. How unfair is that??

33...

and huge! No new stretch marks but i did have a personal first when my side of the bed broke while i was sleeping on it. Really. Sleeping. I'm only 3.6 lbs heavier than i've ever been. That's a total weight gain of 3.6 above where i was BEFORE i was pregnant. i heard a spring pop and felt the movement. Then, that night when i sat on the bed the box-spring frame cracked. Luckily we had an extra in the boy's room. Sheesh. Breaking beds, running out of clothing that will fit my belly this time. I'm humonguous.
