Since it's been a couple of days, here's an update in random form:
*My friend and I decided on a spa and a treatment. We are going to a new spa called Avair. We opted for the basic facial and spa pedicure. Can't wait!
* I've had class until almost 8:00 the past 2 nights. The one ends March 1 and the other March 21. I am looking forward to going home after work today and relaxing. It's rainy today-- perfect for snuggling!
*I've been having REALLY odd dreams lately. Must be hormonal.
*I am starting to really freak out about motherhood, labor, quitting my job, and life in general. I know it's normal, but I am feeling uneasy (this could also explain the weird dreams and nightmares).

Posted by: alfredsmom at February 2, 2006 11:31 AMHannah, I hear you. I have entered the anxious phase as well--you think it might have something to do with all the reading I am doing about birth, seeing TV shows about birth, signing up for birth classes, talking to my friends who are new moms, etc.?? I find it helps to take little "baby-free" breaks (now, while I still can) to do something just for myself, even if it's only for a half hour. Sounds like your spa day will be perfect for that! Enjoy!
Posted by: Arin at February 2, 2006 11:43 AMHappy 30 weeks! :) I *so* remember what it was like to reach that milestone. And I recall that I started feeling the same way that you are now when I reached the 30-week mark, especially after our childbirth class. DON'T freak out! I know that it's easy for me to say that ~ I'm on "the other side," LOL! :) But ... you can *so* get through labor and delivery, and you will be JUST FINE! Just take *each day* ~ and each moment ~ at a time. Make sure to get LOTS of rest. Holding good thoughts for you! I had weird dreams when I was pregnant, too.

Posted by: letti at February 2, 2006 11:06 PMHonestly - having a baby - and staying home with them is the BEST THING IN THE WORLD THAT I EVER DID. Sure you sometimes feel a little like you have porridge brain and can't really have a conversation about anything other than diapers. It is SOOO worth it. As for the delivery side of it - I was absolutely petrified, and everything went well. The Bubby is starting to respond to his name - and doing all sorts of cute things - and I just cry at the thought that I would have been at work - and he would have been with some childminder for these precious moments - it makes me eternally grateful that I can be home.
Posted by: Valkyrie at February 3, 2006 03:56 AMIt is all big changes in your life as you know it. It is totally normal to feel unsure and worried. It's all going to be just fine though :)
Posted by: Melany at February 3, 2006 09:01 AMI'm having the same anxiety about motherhood; it's getting so close, and I don't know if I'll be ready. I also had nightmares last night...makes me scared to go to sleep tonight.
