Grand Central Station

Wednesday, May 12th; We are 36 Weeks & 1 Days Pregnant ~ Only 27 Days to Go!

Oh the Pain:
I had a pretty bad back ache yesterday... and when I woke up this morning I knew it was only going to get worse. At nearly midnight my back is hurting to the point of giving me a headache. I wish I could take something for the pain, but I'm only allowed Tylenol! I feel like curling up except that my little man is in the way :). I feel like crying except that would probably make it worse somehow!

Grand Central Station:
I swear I feel like my house is Grand Central Station. Yesterday UPS showed up with my sister's medicine. Then Erik called freaked about his EZpass. Then FedEx showed up with yet another lovely little package from my mom's cousin Ellen in MD (that's #3). Not 5minuets pass and a second FedEx pulls up to drop off a HUGE package from CA! My dad's cousins (who I don't even know if I've ever met) chipped in together and bought me a crib for Joshua! Not 15 min after that Erik showed up to make my day *love*
Today UPS made another appearance with a box from GA from my Great Aunt + Uncle! Then the mail-man came by, bringing me a letter from a family friend & yet another box from AZ this time, from my Grandma. She sent me all these lovely things she hand-made Joshua (booties, a hat, a sweater and a blanket)!
I can't believe all these people are sending me these things. I feel so incredible special & loved. Especially the hand-made things from Grandma *love*

Phone Fanatic:
So I decided that even though I plan to send out thank you cards after the shower; that I'd call up some of these people and let them know that the things they've sent me arrived safely and thank them for the wonderful gifts. So I got to speak to my Uncle Nathan + Aunt Ruth who said they "can't wait for the news of his birth". I left a message in MD. I spoke to Grandma who reminded me how precious hand-made items are she said "they were made with my heart & soul" and she'll be here SO SOON on the 31st I cant wait!!!! Then I called CA which was a little awkward but I feel really glad that I did it :) (Had to stay up late because of the 4 hr time diff!)

My Other Half:
I spoke to Erik for almost a 1/2 hour tonight so nice since lately we haven't really talked much just a "hi, how r u today, goodnight" type quickie. He mentioned how he doesn't even think I will see the end of this month before our son is born.. at this point.. I can't wait! He isn't big on verbally expressing much of anything so he really took me by surprise with this one; "I can't wait till we can live together again... I'm lonely". I can't wait for him to hold our son, I dream about it! And he was so sweet, calling me all these wonderful pet-names and telling me how much he loves me :)
Hearing his voice is always the high point of my day.

Anyway it's late. And my back is still pushing me near the border of tears... so goodnight.
