Week 34 - Tired and Trials?

Dear Conor,

Week 34 has not started out so great.  Mom had a trial scheduled for Tuesday and it was going to go all day long.  So I got up early, packed a very good lunch and some snacks for us as well as some water.  But, the trial was still long and it was difficult to sit in the VERY uncomfortable court chairs for several hours at a time.  You didn't like it either - you started moving around a lot towards the end of the day.  I think you were trying to tell me that you were uncomfortable because I know that I was. 

When we got home we were exhausted and then I began to feel sick.  Your Dad and I ended up going to the store for gingerale and oyster crackers because I was worried about eating anything else.  I ended up falling asleep shortly after we got back and while I felt better this morning it still wasn't great.

I also had my first good cry today.  I was so frustrated with doctor's offices and the bills they send out - they just never make any sense and the pressure to have everything organized, paid, and in order became too overwhelming for me this morning and I just started crying and couldn't stop.  I was so embarrassed to have had this reaction to something so insignificant in the grand scheme of life but your Dad was great and made me feel much better - we are going to wrestle with some of these bills together.

I am still feeling worn down and I have a stuffy nose so I think I am also coming down with a cold which could be contributing to my feeling a little under the weather.  You however continue to move around and it's clear that you are feeling quite well.

We have birthing class tomorrow night and we will be learning about post delivery care of mom and baby - YIKES!  Hopefully we remember everything we learn!

Hopefully the second half of week 34 will be better!

xoxo
Mom
