38 Weeks & No Baby...YET

Wow. Its been awhile since I have blogged. But a lot has gone on that has kept me from doing so, so I will try & update a bit.

Right when I hit 36 weeks, I went on my pregnancy paid leave (the 4 weeks leading up to the birth). I didn't orginally plan on doing so, but I was getting more & more uncomfortable at work. I didn't feel like I was being very supported by some of the higher ups either so I know for my own sanity I needed the time off. I'm actually hoping to find a new job before my maternity leave is up because I haven't been happy there in a really long time. I'm still going to school to be an ultra sound tech, but I still need a job while in school so I'd like to find something better where I am more happy & maybe even some more money if possible.

Anyways, being off has been great. I have been able to finish up my "nesting" & get things done that are easier to do during the week & not during the weekends. I was doing a little bit of errands & cleaning everyday until last week when I almost passed out in Wal Mart from the heat. So lame I know. But now Joe & my Mom have ordered me to not be doing anymore errands alone. So I still clean up the house everyday, which gives me some contractions daily which is nice because I want this baby out!

I'm due June 26th, but I just don't see that happening. I just know in my heart I'm going to go til 42 weeks & then they'll induce me. I rather not be pregnant that long, especially with all the pain I am feeling now. I hurt everyday all day long. I can't even sit or lay down comfortably. I barely sleep at night, I probably get 2 hours of sleep at night & I try to nap during the day to get some rest. But that doesn't always happen either because I can't get comfortable.

I feel bad complaining because I have actually enjoyed being pregnant, I'm just done with it now. LOL! I am ready for my baby to get here & slowly but surely get my body back! I have really enjoyed this whole journey, but I am ready for it to be over so I can actually start being a Mom!
