New schedule with Chance. Starting today, I now have Chance 80% of the time (His dad and I have had a 50/50 share for two and a half years).
Chance is starting kindergarten (!!!). I'm extremely excited. Soon we'll get to do my favorite thing in the entire world- school supply shopping.
New baby. There's going to be another person living here in.. four weeks? Though my guess is closer to seven weeks. I really don't want to get induced again (it'd be my third time) so I'm going to let this one stay in an extra week and see if he comes forth on his own. Plus Mary and I made a wager that if I'm still pregnant on September 14th, she has to buy me dinner. I'm going to make her take me someplace nice. (Though it's win-win, really, since it's a bet I would happily lose.)
Small changes-
Less cravings, less breathing, more peeing. This is when a lot of women start complaining about having trouble eating and breathing. If the baby hasn't dropped down all the way into birth position yet, your diaphragm, lungs, and stomach start to feel pretty crowded. You'll usually notice it has happened because all of a sudden you're peeing coooonstantly. Oddly, I have both symptoms. My ribs hurt, I get lightheaded when I walk up the stairs, I can only eat half a meal at a time, and I'm peeing every ten minutes. How big is this baby?
I can NOT get Shamus out of my bed. He's definitely starting to sense all the change and it's manifesting itself in the fact that he's now in our bed pretty much every night. It's getting kind of crowded (plus, where will the baby go when he gets here?) so I'm trying to put my foot down and put him back in his own bed. Now, after the second or third failed attempt to creep into the bed, he's taken to sneaking out of his room and sleeping on the floor of our room or the hallway until James leaves for work, then finishing his morning sleep in our bed. It's ridiculous and pitiful and kind of cute. Hoping if I keep talking to him about it, it'll sort itself out. Or I will accidentally step on him during one of my sleepy trudges to the bathroom and he'll stop doing it. Either way.
