Today I asked Endrit to rub my swollen legs. He is so nice and did. Well, he decided to lay his head on my belly. I asked him if he could hear anything. I expected he would say no since he was listening to the one spot on my belly that Marsi isn't taking up all the space.
I told him where her heart is and he listened to right there. He heard her little heart beat! It was cute to see him just sit there and listen to it for a while.
I think he likes her.

Thursday
Several cool things are happening on Thursday. One, new episode of The Big Bang Theory. :-D That always makes me happy. Two, Endrit gets to be a tutor for a high school kid again. I am all good with that. They are a good family and have employed him for the last 2 school years. And last but definitely not least, Endrit gets his hard bound published copy of his PhD thesis!! Of course on Thursday I will post a picture of it. Possibly of both of his books. I am pretty sure it is going to be a great day.

Update on Endrit
Enough of this waiting for baby stuff...that hasn't changed.
There is NO new news on the job search. Like I have said a million times, I will update when I hear anything!
As for the news from today...
Endrit got final thesis approval from the head university thesis editor today. That means that he puts an electronic copy together, submits that, prints out 3 copies of it on (expensive) special thesis paper, submits it to the publisher, apply for his diploma and he is DONE!!!
I am so proud of him! It has been a long, hard road for him. I can't express how excited I am for him to finish this great accomplishment!

Still Pregnant
Sorry, I am not much of a blogger right now. Any pregnant woman knows the end of pregnancy is no fun at all. So, I haven't felt up to blogging.
Tomorrow I am 38 weeks along. If I am being completely honest with myself, I never thought I would see week 38. I am still good with being pregnant, but I didn't think that I would be. I guess I am a good host for Marsi.
It is cold outside now so it is no longer comfortable to walk around outside and that makes me sad. I loved to walk around Liberty Park.
There have been days where I have wondered if I was at the start of labor. Things have always fizzled out. Yesterday was one of those days. I know Marsi and my body are getting ready for the next step into parenthood of a child outside the womb. My mind has been ready for a while. I know I will be shocked when I go into labor, but I feel ready.
People around me (myself included on most days) want to have Marsi born on the 13th. It is my favorite/lucky number. She is the 13th grand child for my parents. It would just be fitting to be born on the 13th. I would take any day from now until the 13th honestly.
So, if you want to throw me some labor vibes or whatever (I don't accept stay in vibes) It would be appreciated. I am trying not to complain, but I hurt and I want to meet Marsi.

October...more than one thing to think about.
In memory of my 5 angel babies forever remembered and missed; if even just by me.

Yeah, Bed Rest Again
This post WILL have a few points of TMI. You have been warned!
I have been having a LOT of pre labor signs. Lost my plug, crampy contractions getting into a rhythm, dilation and effacement...etc. It all started Sunday night. The night that I was exactly 35 weeks. Hoping that I would be able to sleep it off, and me not wanting to call my midwife on Sunday night late, I waited until my midwife practice was open on Monday to call. They had me go in and get checked and there was change that indicated my body is truly getting ready to have this baby!
With them, they won't deliver until 37 weeks. I knew that going in, and honestly, the more she bakes into a perfect little human, I am happy. They gave me a mega dose of magnesium and upped my anti contraction tincture. They also put me on strict bed rest. This means if people visit, I am laying in bed. If the house is dirty, it stays that way...I plan on cleaning the house October 2nd top to bottom before Marsi comes. If I am bored, I sleep. There are very few reasons to leave bed and I am being a much better girl this time around.
I am hoping to have Marsela the first full week in October. Endrit is getting ready for her to make her debut as well...though definitely not as much as me.
