Yesterday was another painful Monday. My back is getting ridiculous. Never help that I did a heck of a lot of walking around. Oh well. Today is better.

People keep asking me if I'm ready, if I have everything I need...I seriously don't know the answer to those questions. I've never had a baby before so I have no idea what "ready" is. I know I don't have everything I need...I just don't really know what else I need. I was looking at coupons I clipped...I gotta start looking for sales of shampoo, soap, desitin, and lansinoh. And pantiliners. Bought a double pack of overnight pads from Costco...I dread that I'll have to go back to having a period...it's so nice not to have a period every month. I just hope it goes back to being as regular as it was before I got pregnant.

I saw a college friend who said she just gave birth six weeks ago. She looked pretty normal sized. I'm hopeful that I'll be normal sized after six weeks. She said she gained 28 pounds total. I've gained about 28 pounds already. 45 more days to go.

I'm hoping the doctor will be able to give us a better idea of when baby is going to come and how big he'll be. So far he's been very vague...just that I'm not too big, baby is growing well/normally...dunno what that means.

Talked to Blake today...Allison is such a calm, good baby. I told Dave that we better be prepared for a fussy, hellacious baby. He was a fussy baby and his mom has always told him that she hopes he has a child just like him so he will know what they went through with him. Sheez, looking at the way Dave is, I do hope we have a child like him more than a child like me. It'll save us a lot of headaches. Nah, actually, I want a child with a lot of spirit...and if Caleb's moving around is any indication of his temperment and activity level, he's going to be a handful.
