29 weeks

I’m really losing steam on completing my weekly updates.  As I write this, I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and trying to remember the details of week 29.  Exhaustion has set in.  So you can pretty much assume that whatever I mention that I did from here until delivery is literally all that happened in my life that week (with the exception of dragging myself to work and then promptly putting on pjs the second I get home).

Big sister Lia likes to feel the kicks too   :)

So Tuesday I had another doctor appointment – this time meeting midwife #3.  To cut right to the chase, I waited on the paper covered exam table for 40 minutes before I finally walked out and told the nurse that I couldn’t wait anymore and I was starving and about to faint.  She tells me “Rachel is heading in to see you right now.”  Lo and behold this woman Rachel is just sitting around in her office while I’ve just wasted my entire lunch hour waiting on her (and also starving to death).  So basically I dislike her immensely and never want to see her again.  I *did* however stick around for my 5 minute appointment after finally kicking her butt into gear.  I didn’t want my chart to be missing any information.  I need to find a way to ensure that my regular midwife is the one present for my delivery.  I might just have to beg to be induced on a day that she is working.

In happier news – along with Bobby’s new job came a company car for him to drive.  So last week we said goodbye to his enormous Toyota Tundra (and the car payment and insurance payment that were also kind of enormous).  What a blessing!  Freeing up this extra cash left Bobby feeling hugely generous and he decided to splurge on a “birthing gift” for me.  A term he must have come up with all on his own; in girl world these are more commonly called “push presents”.  But because this is never something I ever brought up to him (because honestly I see Brooke as the ultimate present) it made his terminology all the more hilarious and adorable.
