The home stretch waiting is driving me crazy!! I feel like I want the baby NOW!! The baby is getting bigger each day and I am getting more and more uncomfortable. My pelvic bones hurt so much, because the baby's head is coming down gradually and sitting right on top of it. I can't sleep at night because there is absolutely no position that's comfortable. I know my body is being prepared for the after birth sleepless nights but still... I want to get some sleep before the baby comes!!!


Yesterday morning I went in for 35th week checkup... everything is perfect as usual. The baby's heartbeat was 158/minute, and she is again measuring big, 36 cm (2 weeks ahead). I told brother Mike I would really want to have the baby now... and he said, no, still too early... I know I know... just hoping I don't have to wait too much longer. Brother Mike recalculated my due date and based on the sonogram taken on Monday the new due date is 7/22, so maybe I will have the baby in the middle of July... Oh I can't wait!!! Today I am feeling better... I've decided I need to let Acacia grow as big as possible before she comes out so she has the best possible health and no matter how big she gets I will be able to push her out... I shouldn't be selfish and want her to be lighter weighted... last time I could push out an almost 9 pounder, this time I can surely do it.

And I decided to stop worrying about the need to clean our house thoroughly before the baby arrives. She will not know anyway(all she will do is eat and sleep and maybe cry)!! With her 2 big brothers messing the house everyday it's impossible to keep it all nice and clean. Plus I will be at the hospital for 2-3 days... I won't be able to control those days when I am away... so I should relax and not try to pick up every little thing on the floor and get frustrated by that.

I will need to pack a bag for the hospital in the coming weeks. I want to look more presentable this time after birth, maybe bring some makeup and regular clothes. Last time I was in pajamas the whole time and didn't look good at all in the pictures... haha

Jacob finished his level 2 swimming lessons. This year we won't go to more lessons because time is running out... and I will just take them swimming and have fun. His free style strokes look really awesome!! Even better then me!! He just needs to work on breathing.. but I can't ask for too much, his teacher said for a 6 year old he is doing much more advanced then average kids. I am so proud of him. He is such a good learner and works hard to do good. He also finished grade 1 math(additions). Last night we went to Barnes & Noble to buy a grade 2 math practice book(substrations) for him. He is excited to do math everyday and his level 5 hooked on phonics is almost done too.. when he finishes level 5 he will be equal to an 8 year old level. Wow!! What an achievement!!

Timothy on the other hand only likes to draw.. he is not too interested in learning phonics yet. I don't want to push him because I know he is still young for that and he already knows all the letter phonic sounds and learning to recognize words when he sees them.

Our ice cream store is almost ready to open. Today people are doing the final touch -ups and if customers come they can buy. Finally. I hope the Lord will bless our investment and this small business will be for His interest. Although we are co-owners of the store, we won't be able to eat for free because we all need to be fair. It will be hard to let the boys realize they can't ask for free ice cream everytime we go in the store. We also need to pay!! Philip was joking maybe we should print our own "buy all for free" coupon!!
