Fight for the Title!

I feel like my little boy is fighting for the title belt at the end of a long series of boxing matches. He literally has me in pain this morning from all the kicking at my ribs. I love it when he moves around and I feel him, it really is the best thing about being preganant but this rib kicking is making me feel a little bruised from the inside. It is so bad I find myself waking up on my back and that is a no no, but I am starting to get more uncomfortalbe sleeping. I guess I should thank my lucky stars it is just now starting to happen and not 10 weeks ago. I sleep pretty good once I get comfy but all this punching and kicking of my ribs is really getting out of hand. I sometimes physically push on him to move him down.....which hopefully he will be dropping soon so there is less chance of reaching them....we shall see.

Tim is home from NYC, he got back last night. He was really tired and I think he is tired of traveling just as I am. I knew he would be safe but anymore when he leaves me on a trip I wonder if he will come back to me in one piece. I guess it's the hormones, but it still makes me nervous and I think it makes him mom nervous too she calls all the time to see if he made it home or not. I think she is starting to wear on his nerves though....oh well that will be me one day. I was able to check his flight online for her and let her know he landed and that he will prob call on his way home from the airport. So he was a good boy and he did.

He sounded like he had a really good time with everyone on the trip, seems they did some pretty neat stuff. I think they hit up a minor league game on Staten Island, and then went to an awesome Improv Comedy club as well as some neat trendy restaurants. I was a tad bit jealous but then I knew there was no way I could have kept up with their schedule....I can barely get ready to leave the house anymore without taking a break first. But all in all he had a good time with long time college friends and it was worth his trip to see them all. Phil promised to share photos soon. Tim isnt the most proactive when it comes to using a camera he could care less. I send it with him but he came home with only photos of the baseball game on Friday. Wuss!

My weekend alone was pretty low key. Work started to get out of hand late last week and so I felt like I needed to take some of it home to work on. So I took about 6 files home and done as much as I could on them till I was back in the office. I was also able to get my work laptop to connect to our connection after an hour on hold with TWC I ended up figuring it out myself. I was glad to get that situated since I will be working from home some after my maternity leave.

Friday I went out to BRU to take advantage of their diaper sale, I also bought the carrier we registered for with a coupon and the gift card that I got from the diaper buy. Diapers are very exsp but we shouldnt need any for quite a while once this baby gets here unless he wears NB size very long. I have only bought 100 NB for now and more of sz 1 since i have no clue how big he will be and I know he will be in sz 1 longer than NB. Betty Jane came by on Satruday and we went to lunch and checked out the new Hanes Outlet, I wasnt impressed with it but I did get a nursing bra on clearance. Still not sure about it yet but I wanted to be prepared in case I do try for a couple of weeks. She also brought me her gifts that she didnt get to bring to the shower, saldy I had to return it. This boy has so many clothes that there was no way I could keep them. So I took them back and just got a credit, I am sure there will be things we need later that I can save the $$ for. So yesterday I just hung out on the couch, took a much needed nap and worked on the files I brought home I got quite a bit accomplised.

I started packing my hospital bag this weekend per instructions of my husband. He wanted me to at least get a few things together. I think he just doesnt want to worry about it if we go earlier than expected. So I did, it is not done by any means but I did put my nursing bra, pjs, and other things together that I could now. I didnt pack anything for the baby yet but there isnt much to pack for him really so it can wait.

As for last minute things, my focus is on work right now (as you can tell by my bloggin this AM). There is so much to do and get ready for that it has me a bit stressed. Oddly enough I havent felt the same way about my house. I know there are a few things I want to get done but I havent had that overwhelming nesting feeling at home yet like I have here. I guess I know there is someone else at home that can take care of it where here that isnt the case. In any event there will be a few things I try to get accomplished in the next couple of weeks, like getting the guest room ready again for the IL.

Well this week looks to be low key which is exactly what we need so I am looking forward to it. I plan on scheduling my prenatal massage Saturday and adding in a pedicure and and eyebrow wax. That will be my last hoorah before the baby. Lets just hope that he takes it easy on his mom for the next few weeks, I wonder if anyone has ever had a broken rib from their child inutero? I am serioulsy giong to google it and see what I find.
