Counting Down

The countdown is becoming more surreal at this point.  In just five days it will be time to deliver this baby, and for my head to spin!  Marty has been reading up on child birth education, what the husband can do to be supportive.  We weren't able to take a class unfortunately.  The want you to wait until around 3 weeks before your delivery date to take the classes.  We had just got the pamphlet at my last doctors appointment on the 31st of December to sign up for classes in February, and the very next day I ended up in here on bed rest.  They had a daddy boot camp class but Marty is not into "bonding" with other men he doesn't know.  He says he would rather learn how to change diapers from Derek.  Derek has decided he is ready to show Marty what to do with the baby for a fee, $20 per day.  Erik would be so proud.  He is such an entrepreneur.  

Still working on getting through the Bones TV series.  I am on the 3rd season, and I should finish it by today.  I am trying to spread my shows out over the course of the week so that I am entertained all hours of the day.  This series has kept me busy for quite some time now.  I am going to give Marty a list of videos I want from Blockbuster I think.  In case I can't spread this out.  I technically only need to stay busy today thru Thursday because Friday is delivery day. That isn't too many days, so I am sure I can find something to occupy my time.  I started a new show called Lie to Me and it is really good.  Once I get out of here I am going to be hooked to so many shows and there won't be time to watch them all.  Not with a new baby at home anyway. Even with Tivo!  

I am really happy that Derek is still in school and this isn't a summer baby.  This will allow me time to really bond with the little guy and he won't be jealous.  Once he gets out of school I can put the baby in the swing and help him with homework.  I have been trying to put together a schedule of how I think things should run in the house.  In the beginning it won't be too tough since babies like to sleep, but I will just have to take it one day at a time.  I know I am going to be exhausted, especially with the pumping schedule.  I want to go back to Weight Watchers, and back to an exercise routine.  I will join my aunt for meetings on Saturdays.  I am probably going to need a few weeks to adjust before I start.  We shall see, hopefully the weight pours off of me. Since I will be nursing it will help!

I didn't get much sleep again last night so I am going to rest for now.  I am just getting increasingly nervous and anxious.  It's hard to rest when you are thinking about getting out of here.  I am so excited to get home I don't know what to do with myself!  I can't wait to shower in my own shower, sleep in my own bed, pet my dogs and eat home cooked food.  I am tired of the food in the basement, as well as the food from the restaurants around here.  So good night for now, I will update if there are any changes later today otherwise I will be back on here tomorrow.
