I took my Mom to the airport this morning, and Justin went skiing, so I decided to stop at Babies R Us aftewards and finally get to do some shopping! I got a lot of stuff that we still needed.... pacifiers, crib sheets, a changing pad, a portable changing pad, hamper, the mobile that matches our crib set, receiving blankets, the thermometer... and a bunch of other things.
Of course, I couldn't resist getting some fun baby stuff. I got a little rattle, and a dinosaur toy with all kinds of parts, and I just couldn't resist the little baby tye dye t-shirt. There was no way!
I was also QUITE happy because the 2 toxboxes that match our crib/nursery theme stuff (the Malawi collection), have been unavailable through Amazon/the store for a while. The upholstered one is never on display when I go in, and last time I went, they didn't have the wooden painted one either. But I went today, and not only did they have it on display, they actually had one in their warehouse at the store! YAY! I was kind of resigning myself to the fact that I wouldn't be able to get it, so I'm really happy. It's very cute.
We are, of course, not finished shopping yet. But we're doing pretty good on the essentials. There are things left on the registry like the high chair, the booster seat, safety gates, but we won't need those for a while anyway. We may not even end up needing the high chair depending on when we start needing one we may be able to get one from Brooke & Dave (the best hand-me-down source EVER I might add).
As Justin said when I showed him everything.... now all we need is a baby.

Sarah McLachlan Lyrics
Sarah McLachlan does not describe what her songs are about in most cases. She says that part of listening to a song and it's lyrics for many people is applying your own meaning, or figuring out what the song means to you. There are 2 songs from her last album, 'Afterglow', that I was listening to recently, and was re-struck by what they mean to me.
The first is a song called 'Answer', which to me is about selflessness... It makes me think of the relationship with a real life parter or with your child.
I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down
If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight
If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You'll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
There's another song on the album called 'Drifting' which has also become particularly full of meaning to me in the last year and a half. Although she did not say what the song was about, she recently has had a child, and when I hear this song I think about waiting to meet mine.
You've been gone so long all that you know
has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow
of the beautiful strangers who whisper your name
do they fill up the emptiness?
Larger than life is your fiction
In a universe made up of one
You have been drifting for so long
I know you don't want to come down
Somewhere below you, there's people who love you
And they're ready for you to come home
Please come home
You walk in a room and the world stops to stare
Mesmerize all who are caught in the glare
Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go
Does it light up the emptiness?
Larger than life is your fiction
In a universe made up of one
You have been drifting for so long
I know you don't want to come down
Somewhere below you, there's people who love you
And they're ready for you to come home
Please come home

Baby Shower!
What: My Baby Shower! Planned by Mom, Kira, Tara & Brooke, who did a GREAT job.
Where: Tara's house. Really cute animal decorations and awesome food... Brooke made her famous Guacamole & a really delicious red velvet cake (the leftovers are in my kitchen right now), and lots of other yummy treats.
Who: Tara, Brooke, Mom & Kira of course. Also Kelly & Mackenna, Brie, Molly, Jen, Lori, Deanna, and Melinda.
It was really, really great. We had food, played some fun games, and hung out. Jen brought her camera and took pictures, which was really great - I posted a few in the photo album, so check them out. We also had my new video camera, and Mom took some video of the shower. I just love all the girls, and every time I get a chance to spend time with them it's great. Of course, it doesn't hurt if it's a party for me!
We got lots of good stuff, and I am feeling less like we don't have ANYTHING ready for the baby. Kira helped bring everything home yesterday, and we stopped on the way and picked up the crib from Brooke & Dave's house. They're still using the matress, but we have the frame now. We also have almost all of the big stuff - we've ordered the dresser and are just waiting for it to come in, we have the stroller & infant seat, the crib, the infant to toddler car seat, the swing that we wanted, the baby bathtub, diaper bag, and Snugli carrier. I looked at our registry and I think that next week after I'm done from work, I'll take a shopping trip to Babies R Us.
It's the first time in a while that I've actually felt excited about going there to buy baby stuff - even though I think this week is goign to be hard at work (busy), I know I only have 5 days left and I can't wait! I think I'm actually accepting the fact that whatever gets done before I leave gets done, and the stuff that doesn't just doesn't and there isn't anything I can do about it. I've been so tired and busy for the last 2 months that I think April is going to be even more welcome. I'm looking forward to finishing getting everything ready, relaxing while I can, and just getting ready for Sam.
I've also been working on our budget and our credit cards and stuff, and am feeling good about all of it. Today I feel rested, relaxed, and for the first day in a while, I feel good about everything that's going on. Maybe instead of thinking about the fact that tomorrow is Monday (which I always do on Sundays), I'll think about the fact that tomorrow is my LAST Monday working! Yay!!
Well, I think I'll go get ready to go out, Brooke and I are going to see "Inside Man" and she's picking me up in half an hour.

New Picture
I just posted a new picture of me at 34 weeks. I looked at it and said to Justin, "Am I really that big?" and he said "yes". I look in the mirror, but looking at a picture like this makes me realize that there's probably a reason that my back is killing me today.
Also, I just ate a grapple. It's some kind of grape apple hybrid or something that someone gave to Justin at work. It was very weird. It smelled like grape, then when I first bit into the piece it tasted like apple, but then when I started chewing it, it tasted like grape too.

Silly Rachael!
Okay. So I was all paranoid about my hours for nothing. It wasn’t anyone wanting to say that it wasn’t okay – it was more “if she is doing that, does she just want to have her last day sooner?”. I told them that I want to plan to be there so I can be a resource for Annae (the person taking over the HR part of my job) and to make the HR Manual (which I have not been able to work on last week or yet this week) as complete as possible, but if it gets to Tue or Wed and I’m done and really not doing anything, then I can leave sooner.
I have been a little off today… I don’t know what it is, but it’s partly because my back hurts. It’s weird, some days I feel pretty normal aside from my stomach being large. Other days I feel REALLY pregnant and sore and tired, like today. I guess that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. I’m also a little stressed about Justin’s new job and his business etc. It’s not that I’m worried about it, it’s just so much new so fast. I don’t really know a lot about having a sole proprietorship or an LLC, and of course with starting up either and with the stuff he needs to do his job (laptop, memory, computer stuff etc) we are spending a lot of money. I know it’s just one time things, and I am still really glad that it’s happening, but it’s one of those things where it’s just not ‘the norm’, especially since we’ve been on a tight budget for the last six months. It’s sort of like how it’s still hard even now to force myself to eat so much since in the past I was always trying to eat less.
So, I’m still a crazy pregnant lady, but things are good. I can’t wait to see everyone this weekend at my shower – I am SO excited!

Only 6 More Weeks
I had my 34 week doctor appointment today. Everything's good, the baby's heartrate was 150 just like always, and my stomach is still growing. Also, I gained four pounds this time, which is probably good! So... overall, I lost 35 pounds, and have gained back six. So I'm still down 29 from where I started. That's crazy. I thought the doctor appointment went well, I actually talked to the doctor more this time a little bit about having the baby and my classes, and some about circumcision too.
We had our second baby class last night. We did some practice of some positions for labor and breathing, and talked about drugs. I haven't really changed my mind much about the drugs. Basically, I am really going to try and do it without, I don't necessarily want to have an epidural, but if I feel like it's too much, or if the labor ends up being hard or very long, I won't be disappointed in myself if I decide to have the epidural. I'm just trying to have the same attitude about everything - that I have ideas about what I want, but it all depends on the situation and how things go, and to not set myself up to be disappointed. It's kind of the same thing with breastfeeding. I am definitely going to try and do it, but try not to feel bad if there are problems, if I need help, or if it can't work for some reason. I don't expect that to happen, but as long as I consider all of the possibilities, I can be at least a little bit prepared.
Despite all of that, I am still very nervous about the actual birth. My doctor said 'You will be fine, you are going to have the baby and it will be fine". He said what I try to think, which is that people do this all the time, and I can too. Also, like he said, it's different for everyone, and you never know how it's going to be until it's happening.
Today I got a great present in the mail - our car seat was delivered! I knew that it had been bought for me as a gift, and I promised not to open it until after the shower, but of course you can see what it is from the box. It's exciting to have one of our first new, big things. Everyone has been so generous so far. All of the things people have gotten for us, and of the things we've gotten from Brooke and Dave are so helpful and great! I can't wait until I'm off work and can start getting more ready around the house.
I also got another great present today from Justin - a video camera! I have been saying for a while that I wanted to get one and thinking about it, and he got a nice, small one at Comp USA when he was there today. Since it was brand new, and they only had one in the store, we got a free two pack of videos since it had been on display for a couple of days. It's brand new though since not many people had looked at it yet. I'm glad we got it. We'll play around with it and use it some at first, but I'll like having it when Sam gets a little bit older.
What else? Not much. I'm still working full time as of now. I told my boss last week that I didn't want to work full hours next week, and she was going to check on it with her boss, but she didn't do it until Monday, and then today she came and told me she had an answer and we could talk about it tomorrow. Which I assume means that someone didn't like the idea of me not working full hours next week. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I wasn't too happy with it... it's so hard, and I'm physically and mentally exhausted and at the end of this week will have had 2 entire weeks of overlap with my HR replacement, who is doing really great. She's very smart, and I don't really see her having many problems when I'm gone. She seems to be picking everything up well, and has good questions. I'm sure there will be breakdowns, but I think she'll be able to fix them with ease and get things right again. Anyhow... I'm just really ready to be done I guess. So we'll see what happens when I talk to my boss tomorrow.
Well, I'm off - I want to go get some cereal before I go to bed tonight. More soon!
