Thirty-one and still Pregnant

I have entered a new year of age and I still have a baby inside. I have been on bed rest for a little over two weeks and it will stay that way until she comes. They are monitoring my blood pressure which is high but not really high. I have no other signs of preeclampsia, thank goodness, so they think the bed rest is doing me good. I guess to an extent it is. Two more weeks! Can you be scared and excited at the same time?

Darin did not use 31 candles but for some reason they burned fast. There were a few that stopped right at the frosting. My farbit birthday cake, rainbow chip with rainbow chip frosting. Thanks to my old roommate Lisa for making it and Darin for frosting it.

Picture Wall

Angel saw a metal wall hanging, but it cost too much. At work they were getting rid of these metal shelves so I brought them home for free. This is what we did with them.


PS. This is Darin's first post. I am teaching him how so he does not have any excuses when the baby comes.

Happy Anniversary!

Here's to 48 years and many more.

It's a Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom!

65 and Medicare, what a year!

Feet

My feet have creases.

Anticipation

Well I am 34 weeks and counting. I have called the hospital and pre-registered for giving birth. I still have many more questions for my doctor, like, do I call you before I go to the hospital? Well I guess that will all come in time.

Things I am wondering about...

-when is she going to come

-is she really a she

-will she kick this much when she is no longer in my belly

-will I be able to handle the pain

-will I want to do this again

-is it going to hurt a lot

-how do I take care of a baby (almost by myself, because 2 days after my due date Darin starts school and we only see each other for 2 hours a day)

-what will she look like

-will I(we) be able to get her to stop crying

-I hope I can feed her so we won't have to buy formula

-I hope she will be a healthy, happy baby that turns into a healthy, happy child and adult

-how do you raise kids

Well these are the things for now as I think of more I will let you know.
