Well. This sunday will mark 36 weeks (the point at which I delivered Tan Man).
Some interesting facts for you as we await the arrival of 'carlos':
1-I am almost 10 lbs. heavier than I was last time at this point. Yikes.
2-The baby is resting on my pelvic nerves, creating a seriously painful "kicked in the privates" feeling ALL OF THE TIME. nice. thanks for that.
3-I am not sleeping--this is just in preparation for the sleepless nights soon to come right. Sigh.
4-I am hoping to hold on until May 21st, as this is the day that would mean NO LOSS OF PAY for the rest of the school year! SO AWESOME that being a teacher no longer means great benefits and maternity leave and retirement---since all of those things now STINK!!!! Just to clarify--I get ZERO paid maternity leave. ZERO, Zilch, nada.
5-We are ready. (Mostly.) I cannot believe it!! We have done 99% of our To Do list, and now---we wait. It feels good to be prepared this time around!!
6-I had a complete stranger tell me to find "old drano in the tin can, and pee in it to see what color it is. That will be the surest way to find out the gender." HAHAHAHAHAAH! Loved it.
7-We have NO boy names AT ALL--so if it is a boy....ummm....yeah....
8-Dr. says things are "going" and that he wants to see me once a week to try and predict if we are getting close. So back to the doc next week.
9-I got stretch marks this time. Bummer. They BURN. ouchy. any advice?
10-yesterday, I accidentally wore my underwear inside out--and didn't notice until around 3:00 that afternoon---what a dork!

I just got dressed and my underwear was also inside out. Duh.
I'm so glad that you're finishing up your To-Do list. If you want the Brest Friend...just call/email Courtney.
I really want to meet this baby.
That is so LAME that you don't get maternity leave. How is that legal? Isn't it in your union contract? Very very lame.
