One month to go!

This baby is due one month from today... unbelievable.  This past week I've been feeling more tired.  I sleep pretty good but Mike says I'm restless - lots of tossing and turning.  It takes a lot of work to turn over in bed when you have a XX pound belly.  I'm starting to get uncomfortable in my work scrubs.  I keep wondering why I didn't buy maternity scrubs.  I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy pants, they just sit below my belly.  I get tired of pulling them up all day.  We can wear hospital t-shirts at work so I ordered a size medium this time and they work well for pregnancy.  The hospital where I work built a new ER and it opened on Monday.  I feel like I started a new job.  It is four times bigger than the old ER.  Everything is brand new and I love it!  I am so ready for some time off though.  

Our friends are getting married in Dubuque this weekend.  I really wanted to go, but my OB doesn't recommend travel more than one hour away during these last few weeks.  I'm sure it would be fine, but the 3.5 hour car ride / being away from home / worrying if Darrell is behaving at the in-laws / and I'm the thrill of being the DD is almost worn off.  Plus I would freak if I went into labor there.  The super-plus side is that my sister is coming to DSM this weekend.  We have lots planned and it will be fun to have one last pre-baby "Sista-Sista Weekend."  

Mike seems to be enjoying his new freedom from school.  I know I love having him around more.  I have a list of chores he needs to do before June 1 in preparation for the baby.  He is slowly getting them checked off, after much nagging and one small freak-out on my part.  

I think Darrell knows the baby is coming soon.  The other night I noticed he wasn't in my sight like usual.  I found him curled up in the recliner in the baby's room.  Just waiting for her to get here.  It was so cute.  He loves sprawling out on her furry purple rug.  And one night I heard this rattle noise coming from the living room.  Darrell had swiped one of baby girl's toys (doll with a rattle inside) from her room and was carrying it all over the house.  Oh Darrell!
