35 Weeks

Yesterday marked the end of 35 weeks. Nancy has just a few more days of work and it couldn't come too soon for her. She's still getting around okay, but it's definitely harder to work a full day.

We've started attending our birthing classes. We go on Monday and Wednesday nights for a couple hours each night. It really makes for a long day, but we're getting a lot of good information.

The baby's been craving oranges lately. The other night, Nancy woke up at 3 a.m. and would've given anything for some orange juice. Unfortunately we had run out and we don't have an all night supermarket near by. Fortunately the next day, Nancy had a baby shower thrown for her at her school and one of the teachers heard of her craving and brought some OJ to the shower. If I didn't know better, I'd think she may have enjoyed that OJ more than the gifts! Ha ha.

Starting next Thursday, we'll be making weekly visits to the midwife to get checked out. Our first visit in February will actually have the midwife come to our house so she knows how to get here when we call her. That reality is really starting to set in too. I keep wondering where I'll be and what I'll be doing when Nancy says, "It's happening...it's really happening".

Start this past week, Nancy started taking some herbs that will help her with softening. It's got things like Red Raspberry Leaf, Black Cohosh Root and False Unicorn root. I think it's that unicorn root that gives it it's magical powers...
