28 weeks

In less than 3 months I could be holding my baby.  That statement makes me happy and terrifies me all at the same time.  Brad stays scared and there are times I think "Can I handle this?"  I just keep reading my books and try to soak in all the knowledge I can.  I am also blessed with people in my life that I can ask dumb questions to and not care if I feel like an idiot.  It's going to be fine.  I keep telling myself this.

On another note, I am getting more and more tired and more and more bigger.  As I get more uncomfortable, I keep thinking "Baby is getting bigger which means he will be born more healthy."  I try not to get too stressed at work so that he will stay put until he is fully baked.  Speaking of work, it has been keeping me extra busy.  Which I am grateful for since it helps pass the time along.  I am just so worn out at the end of the day.  One night this past week, I could not even remember which patients I saw that same day.  On Friday me and three others at work did a group interview for my replacement while I'm on maternity leave.  She is really bubbly and has lots of experience working as a social worker in hospice.  I know that my patients will be in good hands.  However, I think she's more qualified for my job than I am.  Hope I still have my job when I need it back after my leave. 

After re-reading this post, I think it sounds pretty negative.  I'm really not in a bad mood, just tired.  Good things are happening too.  I took down the pink butterfly border from the baby's room.  Just didn't seem to suit my little boy.  Brad bought the paint and plans to do that soon.  Green walls will look a little more masculine than pink and brown.  My mom is coming next weekend and I'll get to show her all of my stuff that I have already gotten for Baby.  Baby's furniture is also on the way.  Not sure how much longer it will be until it arrives, but should be in plenty of time (if Baby stays put like I've told him to until he is ready). 
The next three weeks should be pretty busy too.

Upcoming events:
October 24th: 28 week appointment
October 31st: Ultrasound with OB and Mom here
November 6th: Baby shower at church

And soon I will start doctor's visits every other week.  Busy busy busy!
