Today marks a milestone in my pregnancy -I am 1 month away from our due date today! It really is unbelievable that we are so close. I packed our hospital bags over the weekend and washed more newborn baby clothes and blankets so that would be out of the way. So overall, I feel we are fairly ready for him to arrive! The nights have been harder as well as the days at work. I am getting more and more uncomfortable sitting, standing, and lying down. I have to do each in moderation to not feel 'ugh'. Baby Baker is still as active as ever kicking, punching, rolling his hands and feet, etc. He still is pretty violently moving around to the point that I say "OW!" hahah. He definitely lets me know when I need to eat as he moves nonstop at night until I eat and he calms down. I have a feeling just from my pregnancy that we are in for a night owl baby! I told Gordie it is time for us to buckle our seatbelts! :) I am still training my replacement at work and it is going well despite my forgetful brain that feels like I am always saying 'oh yeah this this and this' hopefully I am making some sense and she retains all the organized chaos that I take care of on a daily basis. :)
We stood in line last week for 2.5 hours in the snow to get the H1N1 vaccine. I was encouraged by every doctor and place we went that I was high risk and needed it but no one could give me a place to go to get it without going to a mass clinic and waiting in extremely long lines. Gordie and I stuck it out and went to the mass clinic in Layton last Tuesday. That just happened to be the ONLY day it actually was cold, wet, and snowy this year. We got there at 6am and didn't get our shots until 845AM. We were thankful we were able to get the shot; however, it was way too long to sit/stand in line just for a shot when we could have gotten more sick being in the elements waiting for the shot. Luckily, my prenatal vitamins have kept me healthy. Gordie just battled an awful cold and being out in the cold didn't help it get better but I was thankful he went with me so I wasn't out there alone plus they gave him the shot as an upcoming caregiver so that he didn't have to wait until the baby was born to get it.
I have 2 weeks left at work and I sure hope I survive! I am starting to get a little sad at having to leave something I really enjoy doing for so long but know we are really going to enjoy our new adventure ahead of us!
Love yall!
