Getting There

So now I am 34 weeks and 5 days (I think? It will be 35 weeks on Friday) pregnant. Things are moving along. I am getting big. I have been on vacation from my main job for a week and a half, but have two and a half weeks (5 shifts total) at my part time job. It sucks. It's getting really difficult to do. But then again, I'm just putting in the time. I do my best, but the bending over is impossible.
I had my last ultrasound last week. Little man is big. Big head, about a week bigger than his age. So who knows what that means. Hopefully it means he will come early? or at least not too late. Or maybe it means he will be monsterously large. Both?
I started getting stretch marks around 29 weeks I think. They started really small just on one side. Now that side is pretty large, and theres some smaller ones on the other side. Sigh. Part of it that cannot be avoided. Too bad I dont have awesome no-stretchmark genees. When I am done having kids I guess I will just get my belly tattooed.
Hmm what else is new... Oh yes, I recieved my cloth diapers the other day. I put them through a pre-wash and hung them to dry in the house. They dried very well, and I just have to take them down and fold them up and they will be ready in waiting for Little Man.
Also, after much painful deliberation, we have chosen a Name. But for now its just between me and the Papa. That way there is no more discussion.
This weekend I am having my second shower (yes, I am spoiled). It is with my dad's side of the family. Also will be picking up the crib from my grandma's house. It's the crib that my dad, uncles, aunts, myself, my sister, and my cousins have all slept in. I look forward to making up the bedding and having that ready for Little Man as well. Of course he wont even be sleeping in that very much at first. We have a little cradle for the first couple months. It's beside our bed. We are picking up the special hand made bedding for it this weekend also.
So really it could happen any time from two weeks from now, to seven weeks from now. It is pretty crazy exciting and scary. I dont know what to expect really.
