Registration

Today was an exciting, yet scary day. I went to pre-register at the hospital and took a tour of the maternity ward. The facilities are super nice- each woman gets to labor, deliver, and recover in the same room. Then, this is the best part, they bring in a queen size bed. Each suite is also outfitted with a stereo system, flat screen television, and a jacuzzi tub! I might not want to go home!! I took a quick peek into the nursery to see all of the babies. They are so tiny- so why does it hurt so bad? That reminds me- I went ahead and signed all of the paper work for the epidural- hook me up and keep the meds coming! My biggest fear at this point is arriving at the hospital too late for it and having to feel the pain- feeling that kind of pain once in my life is enough for me. I want to enjoy labor, not bite Matt's head off!! So we have 5 weeks left, but my stitch comes out in exactly one week! Anytime after that would be fine. I am quickly running out of room and none of my clothes fit anymore, so whenever the baby is ready, so am I. I am not sure that Ava really understands what is about to happen. She now says baby and points to my tummy, but sometimes does the same to daddy. I have a lot to do in the next week: finish the nursery, pack, last minute shopping, classwork, and midterm papers. It'll be a full week, but will hopefully help to keep my mind off of how bad my back hurts and how little I am sleeping! Tomorrow I have another shower to attend, plus Matt's flag football tournament starts. But the most exciting thing happening tomorrow is the Kentucky/Florida game. We are still ranked- wow what a year!
