Almost 9 Months along now

So.. It's getting down there now, We are technically 35 weeks along, so only about 5 or so weeks left to go. With the holidays coming up we are hoping time goes fast.

We are getting so close to getting Brandon's room done. All we need at this point are the chair rails to be put up.. All the painting is done and furniture is all put together. I will post some pics of the progress.

Our next doc appointment is on Dec 21st, after that one we will be going once a week until Brandon is born. At this next appointment they will do a full check to see if I am dialated at all and all that good stuff. We also will determine at that appointment if going to Aberdeen for Christmas is going to be doable or not. We are really hoping so, as we havent been there for christmas in a few years.

I have been feeling ok.. My hip is really really bothering me now. Mostly just my left hip. I guess the doc says that Brandon is now head down and pushing his head up against my hip/pelvis getting ready for his big enterance.. My Sciatic nerve pain however is pretty much gone at this point so thats good news. I am still having some back pain but have been taking lots of baths and getting lots of massages from Jason to help out with that.

I am offically done working as of Friday this week. Thursday is my last day for the next 4 months. And I am sooooo looking forward to it, as now an 8 hour shift just about kills me. I am normally in so much pain by the end of the night it is hard for me to even get to sleep at night. So Luckly, I only have to worry about wednesday and thursday to get through and then I can start to relax.

I guess that's about all that is new for now. If I don't post anything till christmas, we hope that everyone has a very merry chirstmas and a very happy new year. Love the Sandmeier's!
