34 weeks yesterday! I can't believe that in just 3 weeks she will be considered full term, or that in just over 2 weeks my doctor wouldn't do anything to stop me if I went into labor. The realization that we are going to be having this baby very soon is really starting to hit. I went on an online shopping spree last night at Babiesrus and got a lot of things we still needed. They were having a big sale on clearance items plus I had a bunch of coupons. There are still some coupons that I can only use in the store (which is fine because some of the stuff I want can't be bought online anyway) and I have some gift cards to use so I'm planning on making a trip to the store sometime this week or next too. The nursery is really getting full, but right now it just looks like a warehouse instead of an actual room. I really need to find the time to organize and clean it, but have been super busy with the arts and craft show this coming weekend. Hopefully after Saturday I will have more time to get stuff done around the house.
This weekend I was going to do a bunch of cooking. I wanted to make a bunch of meals and freeze them so that when Lily comes and we are just too tired to cook we can just pull one of them out instead of ordering pizza. I did end up making about 8 meals (all of which are big enough to actually be 2 nights worth of food for us, or at least one dinner and lunch the next day). I still have 6 more recipes that I want to do, but I ran out of chicken and was too worn out to go get any more. The 8 meals I did make only took me about 2 hours to do. Hopefully we like them because I'm hoping this is something I will continue in the future just so we have some already made meals handy. If we do like them I will post some of the recipes on here in case other people would like to try them as well.
One night late last week was littered with dream, both for me and the dog. Selene kept making noises in her sleep and moving her paws like she was running. It was quite adorable, but did keep me up. My dreams weren't quite so adorable. I had my first labor dream. It really wasn't a bad dream, but I can't believe how vivid it was for something that I have never actually experienced. I wonder how true it will become. The second dream I had was actually kinda cool. I was walking around a neighborhood and there were a bunch of people sitting out in their front yards and garages. At first I thought I was just going to garage sales, but then realized that I wasn't actually buying things, but that the people were giving me baby things. There were other pregnant women walking around to each house too. It was kinda like Trick-or-Treat for pregnant women.
This past week my co workers threw me a shower. It was great to spend time with all of them, eating wonderful food, celebrating Lily. They were all very thoughtful and got us the Exersaucer that we registered for and a gift certificate. I feel very special to be a part of such a wonderful group of people.
