Guess my brain was working out childbirth class. We&#8217;re now halfway through Childbirth classes. And my dreams revolved around non-<span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_0\">gory<\/span> thoughts like the beginning hours of mild contractions filled with character and laughs (or so it&#8217;s said). And in my dreams Matt and I were unprepared, yet prepared and just waiting in eager anticipation. Last night on the way home from the class we discussed getting the <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\">car seat<\/span> installed in the backseat of my car soon. Just in case&#8230; And it hit me that in a few short days I&#8217;ll be down to a one-handed count of the weeks left before we are due. &#8220;Wow, once we get to five weeks that&#8217;s going to fly. I mean 6 weeks feels long, but something about 5 feels quick.&#8221; I commented to the <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\">Popsicle<\/span> riding <span class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\">shotgun<\/span>. &#8220;It&#8217;s already quick,&#8221; said the 6 week-out church planner, &#8220;especially when you think of all the stuff we have planned for the next weeks.&#8221; &#8220;Yeah, after Christmas we&#8217;ll be two weeks out,&#8221; the words fell out but the reality of that experience still foreign to me. &#8220;And Ellen&#8217;s due next week (Wednesday),&#8221; his words hit the still air.<\/p>\n<p>Matt&#8217;s headed to a Spartan (Michigan State) basketball game with his Dad tonight and he&#8217;ll return tomorrow some time. I&#8217;ve got another late night to put in at work, but I don&#8217;t really mind it because Matt&#8217;s gonna be gone. It&#8217;ll also feel good to be completely caught up with work. Hopefully I won&#8217;t be there too late. But thank you cards await me tonight when I get home and I&#8217;m hoping those will be enough to keep me from going completely insane from the silence. I may need to get creative tonight. =)<\/p>\n<p>For <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\">Jes<\/span>, Matt&#8217;s t-shirts no longer fit well at all. Most of the big shirts I find myself stuffing into with hopes that the tops of my pants that automatically roll down due to my low-rider baby will not be seen due to the centimeter&#8217;s hang-over of shirt to the top of my pants. In fact most shirts I am fearful of stretching out due to the &#8220;eleven pound baby&#8221; that Matt finds to be a funny joke. &#8220;Or have it your way,&#8221; he said last night after his umpteen joke about us having a huge baby, &#8220;seven pounds.&#8221; It&#8217;s sad to watch my pregnancy clothes that used to be &#8220;so big&#8221; slowly shrink to an <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\">un<\/span>-fit-able shirt. And that &#8220;winter coat&#8221; raincoat that I got in it&#8217;s <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\">oversized<\/span> and only $6 glory from the thrift store now has a <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_7\">whoppin<\/span>&#8216; 2 centimeters left in it before I pop out of that one too. Bummer, man. Bummer.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, world, there is more to my life than pregnancy &#8211; for those of you who are getting tired of reading <span class=\"blsp-spelling-error\" id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_8\">prego<\/span> posts. But you must know that in the &#8220;real world&#8221; I don&#8217;t talk too much about pregnancy and, therefore, you all get this wonderful forum of uneventful events. Oh lucky you!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, off to work now.<br \/>Take care, all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of my dreams last night regarded labor.
