i can't feel my face when i'm with you.

time is flying! i can't believe that baby is due exactly 2 months from today. as much as i'm hoping for a few more shifts in may, it's pretty nuts to think that i can nearly count my remaining shifts on 2 sets of hands - i have 21 left! i rearranged my schedule today so that i have the same number of shifts, but get done sooner, so i'll have a full week between my last shift and my due date. if they aren't going to give me more hours, i might as well play it to my advantage.
i had my first appointment with the ob group this week. it went well. all of my tests and measurements are good. because of my weight (i haven't gained a crazy amount, but i've always been overweight) the doctor was saying that they won't let me go a week over, and will induce closer to my due date. i'd really rather avoid that, especially given that it increases my odds of c-section, so i'm going to talk to them a little more at my next appointment in 2 weeks, now that i've done some research on the subject. i mean, ideally i'll give birth spontaneously on my due date, but this is the real world, so the odds of that happening are only about 20%.
josh and i are both off on friday, so we're going shopping. it's been so long since we've had an ikea/shopping date. we're going to get the shelves for the nursery, then hit the mall for whatever tickles our fancy. a friend from work is going to let sophie out in the afternoon so we don't have to rush back. it should be a good day.
my baby shower is in 10 days, and my birthday is in 2 weeks. the next few weeks ought to be hella fun.
i just ate an embarassingly huge dinner and now i don't want to move off of the couch. ugh.
