The Peanut Gallerie

The excitement for his arrival is ridiculous. I cannot imagine being overdue. I am giddy now and patience went out the window. I told Sarrah it's like knowing you are going to Disneyland soon, but not really knowing the exact date. It's hard to sleep!

Although, I think Disneyland has a less painful entry fee? Sarrah says it depends on how you view lines... or crowds... but considering we are usually laughing through the madness together, we don't see this being any different.

I did get a burst of energy. I started to clean things (mom is out of town). Then I stopped because I read not to overexert myself so that I can save that energy for the big show.

Other changes, well, I stopped craving straight sugar. There was a few weeks where all I wanted was sweets.. day and night. Yesterday was the first time I was craving a salad. Yep, a cucumber sounded like the best thing in the world. I've also stopped craving so much milk. I'll drink a glass here and there, but I'm no longer going through a gallon every couple of days... and the thought of milk isn't so appetizing anymore.

Not being in control of your body and it's cravings is a very uncomfortable feeling (yes, even more uncomfortable than a baby's head putting pressure on your pelvis). I'm am just happy no one tried to deny me. 

I think I would have killed them?

Let's see, what else. Oh! The Braxton Hicks contractions are getting more frequent and stronger. The other night it was difficult to breathe through one.

I'm seeing my doctor again tomorrow and taking a breast feeding class at the hospital later that night. I was a little worried about going, but what better place to start the labor process than at the hospital surrounded by informed nurses and supportive pregnant women.
