First Full Week of 09

2009 came in with a blast...a blast of rain that is. We have had 4.87" of rain from Monday to Wednesday. That's the official totals from the state for this area. Besides the rain this week has been kind of 'blah'. I had terrible pains in my belly area on Wednesday night, it just turned out to be those wonderful Braxton Hicks contractions. Pregnancy in this late stage isn't really fun. You get so worn down and tired just doing regular things around the house and then sleep...haha what's that?! I sleep for a few hours a night then I'm awake. I guess my body is trying to get myself into a functioning habit so that I can take care of Fallon when she arrives.

That's the next thing, I'm so intent on concentrating on the fact that she could come at any time. I didn't really focus on this before now, besides dreaming about it almost every night but other than that I didn't really worry about it and now I am almost panicked over it. There are some woman that are part of a message board that I frequent that were due the same month that I am and were just a week or a couple of weeks ahead of me and they had their babies either right after Christmas or right after the New Year. They posted pictures and the babies were so tiny. It scares me and I think the thing that panicks me the most is when I think of "do I have everything that I need if she came tomorrow?"

I have a good start I believe. I have a ton of receiving blankets, bib, and sleepers for Fallon. I don't have the little things like burp clothes and don't have a clue how to do the feeding process until my milk would come in (TMI). It really worries me about all this coming together once she does come. I guess they will enlighten us in child birth classes and if it's God's will that she come early then I will cope now won't I? After all the worry, I am very excited about her arrival. I am really ready to be a mother and be as great as my mother is.
