So, I am 31 weeks and 4 days and feel like I should be closer to 40 weeks than this!!  I feel like I'm gonna pop any minute.  Sleeping isn't anymore...I actually cried the other night because I haven't really been able to sleep in about 2 weeks now and I know it's only gonna get worse.  I finally got a date and place for my shower.  We were going to do it the last Saturday of this month, but ended up being the building we were gonna use was being painted this month so...  the only other building was booked on every Saturday from now until the Saturday before my due date.  They had every Sunday open though after the last Sunday of this month.  Well, my 20th birthday is February 10th which is a Sunday and my husband will actually be home for it, so my mom didn't want to do it on that day.  We finally decided on the 17th of February.  Doesn't really leave me that much time to get things that I'm gonna need if I don't get them at the shower seeing as everyone (including my doctor) thinks this baby is coming sooner than we expected.  But, I guess it'll be alright we don't need many big things..just basically the bath stuff, more diapers, and the littler things like that...but it is things that are "needed."  The only big thing we still need is the travel system, and I'm really hoping my mom talked my granny into getting that for me, but if not we can run and get that no big deal.  I'm just at that going crazy point I think.  My bag for the hospital hasn't been packed yet.  I don't know if I'm being silly about it or what.  I have some things for it and even have some of the things to take for the baby already layed out but everytime I go to actually pack it I stop myself.  I feel like it's still to early...am I procrastinating??  Also, I haven't gotten my baby's coming home outfit yet either.  My hubby and I went to the mall the other day and I looked in every baby store there and didn't find anything I felt "suits" my baby.  Also I looked while I was in town with my mom a couple of days later and she told me to wait till later on in February because they will be putting out Easter outfits and things not so wintery.  But, I dunno if I should wait that late to buy him something or not.  If they think I am going to have him sooner than my due date wouldn't that be pushing things and making things harder on me the last few weeks??  I dunno, I'm confused as what to do.  My baby's room is almost finished though.  The furniture we ordered came in right after Daddy got home and we got it put together and in here.  Also, he bought a lamp and painted it blue to match the bedding and the letter's I painted to hang on the wall.  I was super excited about that.  So, my baby finally has a room.  The only thing is the computer desk is still in here because it rained a lot this time while my hubby was home and what days it didn't rain he was hunting so he wasn't able to move it downstairs to the game room.  That'll be done first thing next time he comes home.  So, I feel tons better about that but now I don't know what to do next.  My hubby left again for work tonight and is gone for 2 weeks and it's crazy to think he'll only see me pregnant one more time before we have our baby.  Granted it'll be for 2 weeks that he sees me but then the next time he'll come home we will be having the baby or close to it.  It's almost over, but yet it still feels so far away.  I guess now it's just a waiting game!!
