Ive offically begun to crack......
Im about ready for my meltdown. Ive been so good this whole pregnancy. I really havnt been moody, or hormonal or anything. Steve will even attest to that. That is, until now. In a few short hours it will be December. DECEMBER! How did that sneak up on me so fast! That means, Im due NEXT MONTH. Which, in my world means baby could come at anytime. Im not worried about bringing the baby home, Im worried that Im not going to have everything done in time. Im trying so hard to be prepared this time. Is my Christmas shopping going to get done? How can it when I have zero energy to do it, and Steve has zero time. Do I have everything I need for the baby? What am I going to need at the hospital and what am I going to forget? Overnight bags need to be packed for all of us. Whos going to take out the dogs and feed the zoo? How long should I stay at work? All these things are now running through my mind. Although he would never admit it, Im starting to become the bitchy wife who has a honey do list. Car Seats and strollers need to be assembled and put in my car and swing needs to be put together. Shelves in the babys room need to be hung. Poor Steve, I dont know how he puts up with me! Like every mother, I just want a good night sleep, everything done, the house clean and for me to just be home waiting to go into labor, maybe sometime in the late morning after my (decaf) coffee and shower. Ha, I crack myself up- thats never going to happen! Especially the sleep part. Who can sleep when your up every damn hour (or two if Im lucky) to pee! Im playing the "what if" game a lot. And I hate that game! What if I my water breaks at work? What if go into labor and Im by myself, should I drive myself to Steve who will be closer to the hospital? What if Zacharys at school? Im trying to come up with a solution to all these different scenarios and its driving me mad! AGGGGGHHHHHH!

Sal you should be an old pro at this! It will all come back to you when the time is right! Do not gauge this pregnancy by the other, it will be different, I bet you! For all we know you'll go past the due date, be fully prepared and aggrivated that your body has not begun the "eviction" process! You will be ready, I am certain of that!
As far as your "zoo"...I can get over there to handle that if you need me to.
And...if you go into labor while Steve's at work, you better not drive anywhere!! Call Steve and stay put! If worst comes to worst, you get a nice fast ride in an ambulance (and I can get over there pretty quick too!) Hang in there, you're doing great!!
I'll do pretty much anything you need (helping with Zachary, running errands, etc.) but I'm just not the one to feed the zoo. I'm the least animal person you know. What about Chris or Kevin- they live in town?
And "go into labor" could mean one contraction an hour. At that point put Steve on alert that he may have to come home soon. And if need be call me I'll whip down and get you. But you know the first 12 hours of labor you could probably drive to Canada and back and be fine. And also, Steve is the kind of guy to rush to the hospital and forget to bring you! I'm sure at the first sign you'll have him home with you.
Also I say, work until you just can't take it anymore. You'll need the money later and you'd rather have time with your baby than time waiting for the baby I'm sure.
