Week 35

work shower
Let's start out with the crabby and end with the good.

I have been really oily lately, it's pretty gross. I normally only shower every other day and that seems to be enough. However, when I do that now, by the time of the second day I feel so gross! Most of the oil seems to be coming from my face. This seems to have been a problem starting maybe just a few weeks ago.

WTH: There has been a strange pattern going lately with "my team". so, on last Sunday we had the no-notification cancellation on the birth class. Then I was supposed to have my actual prenatal appointment with LaNette this past tuesday. I left work early to go the appointment but right before I left I decided to just play on facebook for min (which I normally wouldn't do) and happen to notice that LaNette posted that she was on here way to a birth about an hour before. I decided to text her...well, of course our appointment was cancelled and she forgot to tell me. I didn't receive this "noticed" until I was only about 5 min from her house. I guess at least I found out before I rang the bell! Well, the next day we reschedule the appointment for this friday (yesterday) for 8:00am. I set my alarm early so I can get there ontime. when I wokeup I had a text waiting for me that she was at another birth and we need to reschedule again. Well, we are supposed to meet tomorrow afternoon - so we'll see if that happens.

Along the same lines, we had our first meeting with our doula on thursday. We headed out to get to our appointment and after we were on the road for maybe 5-10 min, we get a text that she would like to push the meeting back by 30min. Ok fine, we turned around...took Mr T for a walk and headed out again. We get to her office and she isn't there...she calls me just after 7 and goes "i'm here" and I reply back with "i'm here too". Well, we were waiting at her office and she was waiting at our house. Eventually she made it to her office and we started the appointment almost an hour after our original appointment.

And that segway into the good part of the week

The meeting with our doula went really well. I really didn't know what to expect so I was pretty surprised (and tired!!) that the meeting lasted about 3 hours - so until 11:30pm. So, first good thing. We still really like her - we all got a long well and were kind of chatty so that's a good sign. The second thing, the appointment ended up being a crash bradley course in the three stages of labor. Most of it I've sort of read before, but it's always good to hear it again.

Final good thing this week - I had a surprise baby shower at work from my team :) It was only an hour long, so it went pretty fast but it was cute. They decorated at meeting room and even had a few games! I was super surprised too that they had a gift for us - the swing! So, generous. The funny thing is that we ended up buying the swing maybe a week ago or so, but I didn't say anything. So, tomorrow we are going to return the one I bought (since it's still in the box).

Oh, and this weekend we are trying to finish up the baby stuff- and are getting pretty darn close. the baby's room is done and his clothes are in the dresser. Also, as I type Dan is installing the car seat and putting the swing together :) )
