Tick Tock Tick Tock

Well, we are in the home stretch now.
I had to visit Labor and delivery Sunday night for about 3 hours, I somehow had the feeling that my water broke, but what actually happened, is that Owen head-butted my bladder and caused me to freak out.
I did find out that I have elevated high blood pressure, but I have faith that since I made it this far without complications, I doubt I will have many till the end.
I do feel huge. We have not taken as many pictures as I would like to, but I do have a recent one to post next week. Which will be wk 34.
After Sunday night, Chris and I realized just how unprepared we really are. We have nowhere for Owen to sleep yet, we have no carseat for him to ride in, and we really need to get on the ball. I started yesterday to get his room ready.
We registered, that's saying something, since we were not going to, but after looking at what I had gotten rid of from Donovans baby days, we found out there were a few things we needed to get.
7 years have passed since he was a baby and some of his things are too out of date to use for a new baby.
I am really starting to anticipate his arrival. More than anything, I want to hold this human being who has his feet lodged in my ribcage, and who makes me winded whenever I take a few steps. It will be nice to finally see the fruits of my labor, seriously.

In other news, Chris was granted 50% custody of Katie and Connor, legally, and even though Connor has adjusted well to the new schedule, Katie still struggles. She refuses to come to our home during Chris' parenting time, unless it is on her terms, which Chris doesn't allow her to do.
She holds me personally responsible for all the things that are wrong in her life. I half expected her too, and though it doesn't make it easier, it sure doesn't feel good to see her actions hurt Chris. She has not stayed at our house in over 2 months now. She still sees Chris for some daddy /daughter time once or twice a weekend, however, I hope she realizes what is at stake by acting out this way.
I hope that things get better for all of us soon, this takes a toll on us all.

Lets' hope that I don't post birth stats before April, and I have a chance for a few more pre-Owen posts before he makes his way to the outside.
Until the next time....
