down to business


Okay, I have 20 days left until my due date, and according to Dr. Fang, this baby looks like it could come early. Our "to-do" lists are slowly getting checked off, so I'm feeling much better about that. Except I've been horribly sick for the last 12 days, and this cold has finally turned into a sinus infection. Let me tell you, 37 weeks pregnant with a sinus infection is no fun (just ask anyone who has called and I've taken the opportunity to complain to). I started taking antibiotics, so hopefully I'm on the road to recovery. I've had this week off, and I have only left the house on a few occasions. Luckily, I have the best friends in the world and Allie and Belinda have been coming by to feed, entertain, and listen to me complain. They even cleaned the kitchen. Next week is my last week of work, so I'd better be feeling better by then. I want to end on a good note, not a cranky one.

So, I guess I've started dilating, which is common. The baby has dropped a bit, making me have to pee even more. We took our child birthing class last weekend and we have two more classes next week. Damon has been so nice to me, especially while I've been sick, and we've spent the evenings on our new couch watching rented episodes of "The Wire". We are somewhat obsessed with this show now, and I am having weird baby-cop dreams because of it.

As you can see from the pictures, the baby's room is coming along quite nicely. Belinda and Luisa came over last weekend and took care of business and the only thing we are waiting on is the dresser/changing table to arrive. The room is adorable the the pictures that Belinda painted are beautiful. I feel so so lucky to be surrounded by wonderful friends and am thrilled that they are going to be helping us raise this child. Soon. In less than three weeks. Yikes!
