37 Weeks

On Friday Dan and I went downtown to see Kathy Griffin live. I was a little bit stressed because the seats were will call, so I was worried we would get stuck in the middle section in a middle row and it would be hard for me to get in and out of the row. Also, parking downtown always stresses me out. Plus, since me and 140 other people bought the will call ticket, I was worried the line would be forever long!

Well, it all ended up being ok. I emailed the theater's ADA service center and told them I'm 9 months pregnant and would like to request an aisle seat so I don't have to climb over people. I was a little worried about asking, but I really didn't have anything to lose. They got back to me and it was great! They saved us a pair of seats at the bottom of a section (so no one was in front) and at the end of row. Also, we found free street parking only a block away and the line for the will call section was crazy short!!

The show was ok, 2  hours was a little long for me - but a quick nice night out.

Starting that night my fingers started to feel arthritic. Ever since them my entire had has felt that way. It's even very painful to open a bottle of water or hold my hair brush. I'm sure it's "normal" but I would like a way to manage the pain - so i'll bring it up tomorrow at my meeting.

Also, LaNette just posted these pictures of the birth center...so now I can start to visualize my space

We had our final meeting with our doula this week too - it went alright. Since I was up late the night before with cramping and she showed up late again, I had an incredibly hard time staying away during our meeting ....and i felt bad. She was over at our house and I wasn't the best host and I probably didn't look that engaged with her when she was talking to us. I did tell her before we started how tired I was so I hope she understood. She gave us A LOT of information. It was mostly about taking care of a baby and breastfeeding tips. She did remind me that she will bring this all up again, she just wants us to hear it at least once before. We were also supposed to watch a video about the 4th trimester, but she forgot to bring it. So, she will be sending it to us to watch later.
