It's been so long . . .

but I've got some random thoughts to share.

This pregnancy is beginning to wind down and I guess I'm sad. Being pregnant makes me extremely emotional as it is but knowing that this is it makes me more so. I do love being pregnant despite the exhaustion, the perpetual cold(it started in October and never left), oh and then there's the whole leaking pee thing. Yeah that's not fun but I'll still miss it when it's over. I finally had a dream the other night about this baby. In my dream the baby was a boy and of course we named him Liam as we have already planned. I used to believe these dreams whole-heartedly. They were right for Matthew and Amelia. But Gillian broke the whole trend. She was 'supposed' to be a boy. My dream had said so. I was convinced. So I'm not banking on the whole boy thing. We still have not agreed on a girl name but I will not be caught off guard like we were with Gillian. I just thank God now that I've come to love Gillian's name as much as I do now. At the time I was not sure about it at all.

I am scheduled to work for three more weeks(exactly 14 more days). That's 7 more kindie days. I really kinda dread those days now because they take the most out of me. Teaching 20 four and five year olds all day(some with severe behavioural issues) just drains me. I'm thinking I may need to take a couple more mental/physical health days before I go on mat. leave.

I washed some baby clothes yesterday and that's the most I've done to get ready for this baby. I definitely hope I will be more prepared than I was with Gillian. She was almost 4 weeks early. Totally threw us for a loop. Todd still has to get all the car seats arranged and in place. Mia is moving to the back with Matthew and the new baby will take her place but the van is a mess and it's been too cold to give it a good cleaning. Don't want to put a new little baby in that crazy mess!

So that's the latest pretty much. My life is never too dramatic and that's probably a good thing. Todd got a new job within his police service that will put him closer to home which is great especially with my quick labours. He currently works almost two hours away from home. Not good if I go into labour. His transfer is supposed to be in May but because of the situation it may be pushed to early March. I REALLY hope it is. If not I'm going to have to be extra cautious and pay a lot more attention to any ctxs. With G, we arrived at the hospital at 7 am and had her at 8:27 am. Can't afford to cut it that close with this one.
