I've been horrible about updating this thing. I think about it often, but actually taking the time to do it is another thing.
Today I am officially 38 weeks, one week into being full term. Apparently this means very little to Henry. We had an appointment on Friday only to determine he's made no move to get out, at all. I am not dilated, effaced, stationed or whatever, nothing. In fact the doctor had to realllly dig around to even get to the cervix. Yeah I know, lovely picture, but that is the case.
Because we had no reason to worry about him coming this past weekend, we went down to Houston for a family reunion. Well technically the reunion was near Woodville 2 hours away, but we went to my mom's Friday and then drove up for the day that day. All in all, we were probably in the car 13-14 hours this weekend. I am thinking probably not the best thing for a 37 weeker, but oh well, didn't seem to do any harm! It was so wonderful to see everyone one last time before Henry gets here. My family is SO excited.
I'm being a horrible slacker lately. I don't even have my hospital bag packed. For some reason I cannot do it. I keep worrying that I will forget something or do something wrong, etc, so I just don't do it at all. And then there is the matter of school. All of my projects are coming to a head. A huge powerpoint presentation is due Monday. I'm about three slides in and it probably needs to be about 18 long. Hey, that's progress right! Plus the huge project that is due next Sunday, April 25th. Just thinking about it makes my blood pressure skyrocket.
Speaking of which, I should get back to it.

Week 29, Snow, School, Stress, and some other S words
S words....that reminds me of a Celebrity Jeopardy episode from SNL. I'll take Swords for $200 Alex. That's S Words, oh nevermind.
Well I've reached week 29. Sleep (ah ha, another s word!) has been very hit or miss. As I type this, it is 10:30am. I never went to sleep last night. I tried, believe me I did. It just never came. I cannot lay in bed awake too long. I start thinking about all of my stressors and it just worries me even more, making matters worse.
School has been totally kicking my butt lately. I'm taking two courses this semester, and while one of them is cake, the other one is a mess. I have to create a course, beginning to end, on a topic of my choice. I do love my topic though - Baby Sign Language. Jason and I are completely on board for teaching Henry to sign. I took over 3 years of sign language while in high school and college, and it is amazing how much of it I still know.
This book has been our favorite and I highly, highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in teaching their baby to sign. The benefits of baby sign language are countless. I could spend an entire post on just that. But I won't!
So, the snow. Yesterday we received the largest amount of snow that Texas has seen in one day in recorded history. It's completely insane how much we got. The DFW airport reported 12.5 inches. I know to my MD/VA friends, this is nothing. But for here, it is completely unprecedented. While it is a bit frustrating being stuck at home (we cannot make it out of the neighborhood in our Civic, well ok, I don't want to try), it is also absolutely beautiful outside.
It's been a lot of fun walking around in it with Jason. He's been very reminiscent of his childhood up in Washington. They spent a lot of time skiing. Me, personally, I've never seen more snow than this and of course have never been skiing. Absolutely beautiful! Especially since Jason and Mike (my father in law) were able to dry out the satellite. I MUST be able to watch the Olympics tonight. Opening ceremony! SQUEEEE!!!! (another s word!)
One week from tomorrow is my shower (oh my, there's another one!). Can't wait. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful family that cares so much about me to throw this for me. My grandmother has really outdone herself. I think she's just as excited about Henry as we are. From the way she acts, possibly even more so!
Ok, that's enough S Words for one day.
