pregnancy update week... um 37!

I've probably been uncomfortable since week 33.  But it hasn't been that bad.  These last 3 weeks I've been feeling especially heavy.  Sleeping is difficult because it's hard to shift my weight around.  Noticed stretch marks about 5 weeks ago.  Sigh.  They're not bad, but they're not fun either!  Hope they fade.  We want to breastfeed exclusively, I hope it all bodes well.  I've done lots of research so hopefully I can stick it out.  Lots of women stop earlier than they plan to for various reasons.  Breastfeeding can be difficult and painful and inconvenient.  I stopped reading all the pregnancy books a looong time ago because they were all freaking me out.  I've started to read baby books now and it's doing the same.  I might give up on that soon as well. 

I came hope from work today because my back felt so tense and I had some painful contractions.  Louis said, "Hmmm, we should pack.  Like now."  So we did.  Now we're really ready to go.  Selah's got all her stuff ready. 

As much as I've complained, this pregnancy has been really easy compared to other women.  I've had some bumps along the way, food poisoning (from the magic mushrooms in spaghetti), tonsillitis from 'allergies', a fall (walking Issac over wet mud), and the ever nice vagina shooters as my midwife calls them.  Other than that, doing well!  My husband has been ever gracious with me cause I really have been acting crazy.  My patience is out the window, I've had a really short fuse, prone to anger and just irritable overall.  Pregnancy is not an excuse for sin. 

After some research, and I'm doing more, I think we're going to use an alternative vaccination schedule.  Selah's immunizations will be more spread out than the national recommended schedule and we're putting off most of them until she's at least a year old.  We want to give her immune system a chance to develop properly before we bombard her body with vaccines. 

Sorry if this is too girlie or boring for most of you, I really just wanted to jot down some thoughts so I'll remember what it was like.
