I'm currently 34 weeks and some days pregnant and the not-so-fun parts of pregnancy have finally caught up with me!

I've been coughing like crazy for over a week now. At first I thought I was getting sick with a cold or something, but I have no other symptoms, just the cough. But it's gotten really bad these past few days. I can barely sleep because I cough all the time and my abs and back are sore because of all the coughing and my throat is very irritated. I saw the doc today and it turns out I apparently have very bad acid reflux. It makes sense because the cough is worst after I eat. So now I have to take medication and hopefully it'll work because I can't take it anymore.

Also, I got some very bad contractions on Friday. It hurt enough to make me stop everything I was doing. I only had three, in the evening, and then they went away. I was ok on Saturday, but I got one more painful one yesterday. I get BH contrax all the time, but those painful ones were new. The doc checked my cervix and all was good though so I was relieved. I want baby to keep baking a bit more.

In happier news, my last day of work is Friday I seriously cannot wait, I'm so tired and I want to rest a bit before baby gets here. I also want to cook and freeze some meals! And get up really late in the mornings

And my baby shower is on Saturday! My mom is hosting it and I'm not expecting that many people to come, but it should be fun.

I hope so! Everytime I dream about him he always has a lot of hair, dark like both of his parents of course.

I feel like I still have a lot to do, but really, he could come today (I hope he doesn't) and we'd be all right. We have all the basics, though the carseat isn't installed yet. We still need to buy cloth diapers, but the plan is to start with disposables for the first couple of weeks anyways. I know my cousin will be giving me some that she bought but never used (cloth).

I still need to wash all the baby clothes and to cook and freeze some meals.

Oh and regarding the acid reflux, I think the meds are working but that it may take some time before I get rid of the cough. I still cough after meals (I just had breakfast so it's bad), but it gets better after a while. And I was able to sleep last night so that's good.
