Great News!

*35 week ultrasound. The tech was so nice and did a 3D image for me of the little one! It was a really nice perk since I wasn't planning on getting one at all.*

So I had my ultrasound last week and got great news! My placenta has now moved enough, yea! I was getting really antsy, and just wanted to know what I could plan for. Now I know I can try natural birth. I've been working on a few relaxation and visualization techniques, and I hope that it works out. I will, of course be open to other things because there are some things you just can't predict. The only dream I have had about childbirth so far is that I went to the hospital and had a water birth that lasted 5 min. and wasn't painful at all. Sounded pretty nice. The only thing was that my brother-in-law was the only person with me. Yeah, I've got weird dreams sometimes, well, all the time really. No birthing nightmares yet, but we'll see. I hope that I've educated myself enough so that my mind and body can handle it better. It still scares me, but I am really trying to prepare my mind for what is to come.

People have been asking me if I'm getting excited, which I am because, holy moley, I'm on my last month! I don't feel ready yet, though. I mean, he'll have cloths and diapers and a place to sleep (oh! I finished painting the nursery), but I don't have a carseat yet, and my hospital bag is not packed, and there seems to be a million tiny things to do, so I'm not feeling as prepared as I would like to be. Eventhough I am so excited for him and want to be in the next phase, I want to feel like everything is ready, which it is not yet. I'm still waiting for that burst of energy that supposedly comes with nesting, but it hasn't really kicked in yet. I'm still so tired, so its more like a burst of anxiety. I have to take breaks alot so things take me forever and sometimes I just fall asleep. It's annoying when there is so much to do! But I know things will work out. Things have been pretty good, my sister-in-law had her baby, and my friends who were adopting finally got their sweet baby girl. And my baby shower is today and it is so great to finally be the one that it is for. I might actually enjoy this one ;)
