33 WEEKS!!!

I am such a terrible blogger!!! My last post was before Christmas! Whoops! Well I am still pregnant and now we know the sex of our baby, its a BOY!!! Those that do read this probably already knew that! I am getting bigger everyday and everyday becomes harder than the day before! To bring you and anyone else up to speed, we have decided to name him Everett, everything is going good, he is measuring right on where he should be, he has nestled himself quite well head down and his legs or butt or something kicks me all day on the right side of my belly! Its the most annoying thing ever.  Its not fair to the other side of my belly. My right side is constantly bruised and getting jabbed at and the other side is just chillin' with no pain! Not fair!
I am so done being pregnant.  I don't know whose bright idea it was to keep babies in us until they are 40ish weeks... I am praying for him to come early and last night I read anywhere between 38 - 42 weeks is O.K. so he better come on that 38 mark or just a little bit sooner, it will make my life so much better!
A few weeks ago we started a natural birthing class, its the Bradley Method way.  I have an Aunt and Uncle who are very adament on natural births.  I am fine with that idea and if that is how you want to have your babies, more power to you.  I am a wuss.  I know it, I know my husband knows it and he would probably prefer me on some kind of drug to keep his sanity! I am in no way offended by that.  I am naturally crazy and I don't want to know what I will be like when I have millions of shooting pains going through my body.  Anyway, we're taking the classes.  So far they are enjoyable, we are learning a lot more than what we thought we would have and although most of it I feel we knew about, there are those little things you just don't think about.  Oh and everyone knows I am pro medication.  Our teacher thinks that by the end of the classes I will change my mind. Doubt it.  Currently we are starting to write up our birthing plans.  Never would have thought I could have more of a say in what is going to happen.  Charley and I both probably just figured we would go through the motions, take what was thrown at us when we're at the hospital but, we now know a little better.  I don't want my baby's cord cut right away, there is great benefits to letting him stay attached for an extra minute! I want a soothing room, not a sterile room, dim lights.  And yes I want Chipotle waiting for me after I give birth!!!
