Preg-O

I don't know if anyone actually reads this, considering I don't keep up on it more. I believe I will once baby "I-don't-know" comes along. You'd think I'd have LESS time, but I think I'll have MORE desire. Right now just being pregnant takes everything out of me. Here's the deal. I'm 33.5 weeks along. The baby measures a week ahead. I measure small. Last week we had a second ultrasound because I was measuring so small (I don't actually know what my measurement is) that the doctor wanted to make sure the baby was okay. She's fine. As said, she's a week ahead.
I'm ready to be done. But I want her to stay "baking" until she's "done." Heartburn, constant backaches, everything aches...just not fun. Let's just say I'm glad it's my last pregnancy. My goal was to be done by the time I was 35. I'm pushing 34 (I can't believe that!) So, I'm done. We still intend to adopt a child, but we'll have to wait and see how the details on that actually play out.

We toured the new IHC Riverton Hospital today. NICE!!! The delivery and recovery rooms are very nice. It'll be great to deliver in a NEW hospital. But hopefully we'll wait at least 2 weeks, so they can work out the "kinks". I love that they have a fold out sofa bed for overnight guests. So many of the other hospitals just have one rocking chair, maybe a recliner, and hard chairs to sit in. Where's the spouse supposed to sleep??? Now that this is child #4 I don't actually expect (or want) Jeramie to be sleeping at the hospital, but they have the sleeper beds in the delivery room also, which will be good for him to get some rest. If we're going for the status quo here, I go into labor at night, I get the epidural (so I'm not up and around) and I'm in labor for about 9 hours before I deliver. So nice rooms, and I'm glad they've thought of the guests.

In the meantime...if only this little one would reveal her name to us. We're stumped.
