Still loving the sleepless nights...

So, I don't know what to do. I cannot fall asleep until 5:30 a.m. and then I sleep until 11 a.m.! This schedule that the baby has put me on is ridiculous! I hate it. I am a few days short of 34 weeks, if you can believe it, so I don't have very many days until I am up with the baby every TWO hours! Maybe this wacko schedule will prepare me for that. 

As I was reading up on preterm labor on Monday,  I realized that I have been experiencing like 3 of the biggest and most common symptoms for about a week now! When we went to the doctor last week he said that I would probably have this baby about a week early, but if I went this early, I would have to be on bed rest. This means I would have to read a novel of some sort and I hate reading, so that would just be miserable!  Oh, and I would also be given SHOTS, which I don't do very well! So, I am a little nervous to go back to the doctor next Wednesday to see what he says.
 
While we are on this subject of the baby coming, I can't believe that it is almost here and that I am going to have to have this baby. It is a weird feeling that no one else can do it for me and that I can't get out of it. I hate the thought of the pain, but I know I'll be fine.  Lately I have been so nervous about doing the other things too, like nursing, changing diapers, being loving and patient when I am so tired, and just being a mother! I have nannied for years but this one is mine. I don't have to leave after the night is over or after two weeks of playing. This baby is all mine. It is very overwhelming and I am sure that if any mothers are reading this it might sound a little funny, but oh well, I'll be honest, I am scared! ha ha!  But I guess it's time for me to experience something completely different and I think I am ready:)
