Countdown!

I've got one more month...if even that! I have another ultrasound tomorrow to see how big she is.  Last time she was a bit on the hefty side...so we'll see. I cleaned my car out today and I'm going to see if Jay will help me put the car seat base in when he gets home from work. Gettin ready!

Poor Mika is not a happy camper right now. (Which means neither is mommy.) He has acid reflux, as I believe I blogged before, and sometimes does this weird swallowing, licking, nausea thing.  Well, he did it all evening, threw up his dinner, couldn't calm down, so we took him to the emergency center at midnight.  They took some xrays, couldn't really find anything except a bit of an upset tummy and, of course, the acid reflux.  So they sent us home with meds.  Mika still was up almost all night doing his annoying thing (annoying to him AND me, but Jay manages to sleep right through it all) and he hasn't rested much.  I talked to his regular vet today who said to double his pepcid and call him in the morning. (haha. take two of these and call me in the morning.)  So I gave Mika pepcid and then breakfast...threw it up. And he is still doing his thing. Poor guy. (Plus he's gassy...even more so than pregnant me.)  Sigh. I hope we can figure this thing out.

Back to baby.  I pre-admitted at St. John's hospital yesterday.  They have us do that so that when we are in labor we don't have to worry about paperwork. :) We got a tour of the "baby" wing and its really nice.  All private rooms.  You have labor and delivery all in one private room, and then after baby is born you are moved to another private room for after baby is here.  We stay there two nights and are allowed to have baby girl in there with us as much as we want (or don't want.) Right after she's born, they won't have to whisk her away to the nursery...the nursery comes to us.  We watch her get checked out and weighed and then right back to mommy! :) I'm getting pretty excited.  I still haven't decided between going all natural, or having the epidural, but my doctor says I don't have to decide until the moment comes...so I'm gonna see if I can do it.

Well, its spring break this week! I just had my birthday! Lots of fun stuff! I am now 29 (getting awfully close to 30) and pretty content with life. I am trying to stay productive during my time off.  I need to get up to the school to get absolutely everything ready for my sub! They hired my maternity leave sub and she will be coming to "shadow" me next week.  I feel so important! She is older than me, so I hope it won't feel weird telling her how things are done. "After lunch we do our math lesson...if that's ok with you...ma'am." haha.

Well, Mika has calmed down a bit, so I'm gonna go luv on him. I'll try to blog some more during my break.
