I feel abnormally happy...

So last night, I started craving chocolate so I had Eman drive me to the store while I ran in and bought a bag of chocolate. You know what I realized? I should have compared the cents per ounce of the bag to the bars!!!! Hmmm... Okay, next time.



Eman has some pretty good songs. Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground is surprisingly good. He has a bit of good music, and it is all very diverse (Sex and Candy started playing after Marc Anthony's "You Sang to Me," haha). Oh, and guess what just came up after Marcy Playground... Marvin Gaye. He has a lot of Johnny Cash. I haven't warmed up to Johnny Cash, yet though. I didn't like Pink Floyd, but Eman kept playing them over and over and over again, and now I think they are pretty good.



Well, to conclude, I'm expecting Katrina and Dave today, the condo is very, very clean save Eman's clean, folded laundry that he hasn't put away though he said he would by last Wednesday, and I'm extremely happy. Maybe I'll give myself a pedicure today. Yay.

36 weeks and 3 days...

I saw my midwife today. Since it's my 36th week, I'm going to have to start counting 10 movements within 2 hours. Also, I was advised to take Primrose Evening Oil and do perineal stretches. I really, really should start walking. My mom has been urging me along with everyone else. I'm soooo LAZY! And don't even get me started about my chocolate-eating habits... =S



Off to sleep!

The Home Stretch...

Last Thursday was my midwife appointment. They had to swab me, umm, you-know-where, and Eman started to giggle like the pansy he is. I'm going to have appointments everyweek now until the baby is born. I think she's a-comin' pretty soon, though. Sooner than we all expect. I really ought to add more pictures in the picture thing, but I don't have a scanner and must go all the way to the university to go scan them. I really ought to wash the baby's clothes, too. Ok, that is it for now. Oh, yes, there is lots of pressure near my pelvic area, and I cramp up quite a bit. I think the baby is getting annoyed of being so squished.

AHHHH!

I can't wait to meet Daphne Jade!!!!!!!!!! Right now, I just can't stand it! I can't wait for her to be born!!! I want to see her grow up, already! I can't wait until she turns 1 and then 4 and then 12 and then 16!!!!!!! I want to go hang out with my 8-year-old daughter!

Child Birth and Baby Basics Class

Eman and I had our first Child Birth class on the January 4 last week. The instructor is teaching us a combination of Bradley and Lamaze techniques. It was sort of interesting. I have exercises to do every day from 100 kegals to pelvic rocks and butterflies. The pelvic rocks are the oddest things. We had to do them in front of everyone in the class, but they were doing them, too. The Baby Basics class was today, and it basically went over newborn baby care. Eman says he didn't learn anything new save how to bathe a baby, but I sure learned quite a bit. Tomorrow, I'm going to work on making a scrapbook for Eman, the baby and myself. It is going to start with how Eman and I met all the way to the baby's arrival. I'm hoping that it will continue farther than that, and that I'll be able to document quite a bit of happy occasions.

Constantly Hiccuping

Eman felt the baby hiccup for the first time last night, and after a while he kept asking her to stop because he thought it wasn't good for her. He was mortified when he found out she could open her eyes because of its contact with her urine (amniotic fluid). It was funny/cute.
