40 + 2

Well, I have no idea what contractions are going to feel like. I woke up at 2:45am with some pressure from the baby on one side of my belly. It lasted for about 25 seconds. About 7 minutes later, it happened again. 6-7 minutes later, again. So I got up and went downstairs. I read my book for a while, and I finally went back to bed at 4:15 or so when "they" completely stopped. I'm pretty sure it was gas.

I'm exhausted.

And grumpy.

And whiny.

I went into this with the mentality that I'd be totally fine with letting the baby come on his own, as long as it took. But I want my baby now.

My mom and I went to the library yesterday and I looked at a baby names book. I figured it was time for Dave and I to start considering names. Kidding. We had decided on a name quite a while ago (before we even knew it was a boy), but we may have changed our minds. Kidding again. This baby has had one name and no other has come close. We had three girls names though. Funny. I did look at that book yesterday though, just to see how popular our name was. I'm happy that it's not on the Top 10 list.

We then went to see "Fred Claus" (bad movie) and ordered some Chinese food. I'm getting bored. I wrapped some Christmas presents last night. I have two more gifts to buy today, and I'm done with my shopping! We're heading over to the mall.

Ugh. I'm bored with myself! This blog is boring too. Sorry. Wish I could change that! Check back in a week or so.

p.s. It is the start of "sweater weather" here, which I normally love. However, I have no warm maternity clothes, and if I want to wear a jacket that zips up, I have to wear one of Dave's. It's a good thing we got a "Bundle Me" thingy to wrap up the baby in his carseat. (Thanks, Kim!) We'll need it on the way home from the hospital. It's supposed to snow on Thanksgiving.
