Sheesh, I feel like I am walking a tightrope. I barely slept last night with dreams my water broke in public... I guess I will have to resort to wearing 'Depends' the next few weeks just to spite myself.

Looks like work is rolling in for Jay. A top ad agency called him last night stating they had a lot of freelance work for him. He just happened to know the CD who called from previouse work. He's excited, though I dont think that singing about potty to our potty-training toddlers is the most bearable form to show it in.

Today, I wear the hat of "Taxi Driver". I was going to take my friend to the doctor, only her daughter is sick and her fiance will end up stealing my hat.
I wouldn't have minded, I have a pre-natal this morning anyway- and she REALLY needs that glass taken out of her hand.

Overall, I think it is quite entertaining being hugely pregnant and in public. People exclaim, "Wow! Two so young and another on the way! I guess your done now, right...."

"Ummmmmm.... no-o-o-o-o-o-o.... just need a break."

I think the shock therapy helped them realize that outwardly jumping to conclusions to a complete stranger can be dangerous to how you look.

Hey, I say, "Be open-minded...but not so open-minded that your brain falls out."

Today was very strange. I woke up early because I wasn't able to get comfortable coming back to bed after fixing Abbie who woke up at 7:00 and was crying for a bottle.
But I sure am sore. It feels like I am growing, and it's hurting my ribs and back. Along with this, we had both creditors call for the loans on our cars threatening to repo on Monday. We wont even get a check for anything until mid-next week.
So, Jay is thinking about just moving them somewhere else for now.
Happy thing is that our food card was renewed and we went shopping for food, yay!
Too bad neither one of us has the energy to put away the non perishables until tomorrow morning.
Week 34: I received a phone call from my sister last night. She needed a ride to attend her neurologist appointment, and I know how hard that can be anyway, on her own.

My mom covered the gas money and I picked my sister up early this morning. It's amazing how early the sun comes up now. I almost feel guilty for sleeping in 'till 8:00. But I was pleasantly surprised my back hasn't been hurting me as badly as it has the past week. I have been contracting all day, although I honestly can admit that I can't tell the difference between the Braxton Hicks and the baby moving, anymore.

I am so compact, I dont feel so pregnant, even although I only have a few weeks left.

My big problem is sleeping at night. I so look forward to going to bed at the end of the day, and actually- in the beginning and middle, too- but once I get there, I just feel like there is no way I will ever get comfortable.

I am scared to death of sleeping anything close to on my back after an experience I had last Saturday. Laying in bed reading for a while, propped up with some pillows, I somehow managed to cut off enough of my blood supply that I passed out.

Never had that happen laying down, before.

The maternity ward nurse explained it probably had something to do with the fact that my uterus is getting heavy enough to put too much pressure on my arteries. I had some abdominal stitching just before it happened, so that probably constricted the blood vessels even more. It was too crazy, I didnt even know what to think. For now, all I can think about is getting work and stability.
