Week 3 - 36 weeks!

Things have been progressing nicely. Starting to finish everything up with the baby - all her clothes and blankets are washed, my hospital bags are packed, and today I will be packing the dog's going away bags. A few things left to clean and do and then we should be ready. I fear that I'm holding on to things to do (like that DAMN SHREDDING BOX!) because if I finish everything then I have to focus on the fact that she's on her way.

Some days I feel like she's ready to burst - today especially. She's dropped a bit more and there was a little bit of blood when I went to the bathroom. I will not panic. I will not panic. All the baby books say that means it could be a couple weeks out. The increased Braxton Hicks have been painful. My mom said we were all a week early - does this mean my baby is going to be early too? And how early?! Ohhh how I wish I could see the future so I can plan for today! So it's time to buckle down and get everything done!

On a happy note, I got my State Disability payments approved! I've heard such horror stories - I'm feeling good that mine came through. I need to make sure my bills are paid before any hospital stays.

So let's get crackin - who knows when she is going to make an appearance!

Reading: I (Heart) the 80s by Megan Crane - LOVING IT!
Writing: I almost feel like I should change this blog to reading/watching/shoes as I haven't been doing any writing but have been watching a whole lotta Netflix as I do all the work. Today's watching binge is the second season of The Riches. If that is finished today and I'm still working, then I have to finish the second season of House of Cards. 
Shoes: Ohhhhhh how I miss you! When all is said and done I will love my shoes forever!

When Dreams Come True by Rebecca Emin

This charming story made me nostalgic for that time in your childhood when you begin to mature and you go crazy not understanding why your friends are acting strange, and why you begin to see people you knew your whole life in a different way. Charlie, having just started year nine (that's 13 years old for those who don't know) is going through a lot - her friends since childhood are changing (Max, Toby and Allie), her Aunt is sick and she's starting to have very vivid dreams that start coming true causing her to find out family secrets, and the thoughts of her friends.  When I read the summary, I thought this was going to be a fanciful tale of "I dreamed I could make people fly and look there they go." I'm so glad it wasn't. No one turned into a vampire. No one changed into an animal of any kind. No wizards, witches or bullying. Am I the only one who is getting sick of that? I feel like every time I walk into the young adult section, I am bombarded with H

Review – Holly’s Inbox by Holly Denham (pen name for Bill Hutton Surie)

Having worked in Human Resources, I have had my fair share of times where I had to troll through someone’s work inbox during the course of investigations. Most employees will let a personal email or two slip through, as always discovered. I’ve seen office affairs, love, fights and money problems when searching for a smoking gun. I always found it fascinating to discover a different part of this person’s life – here we sit together for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and how much do I truly know about you? Holly’s Inbox lets you take that extra step and get to know her by reading through her inbox and replies. Told entirely through email exchanges (epistolary novel), we meet Holly Denham – a newly-hired receptionist for an investment banking firm in London. From the website www.hollysinbox.com , here is the synopsis of the story: Meet Holly Denham. It’s her first day as a receptionist at a City investment bank and, with no corporate front-of-house experience, Holly is struggling t

Royal Day Out: A From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess e-short by Meg Cabot

Years ago, I saw the movie The Princess Diaries and, as I always do, I had to seek out the book. After reading The Princess Diaries, I fell in love with Mia and her world. I read all 10 of the books in the series, and as many of the companion books that I could find. So when Meg Cabot announced that an adult novel of Mia's wedding was to be published, I cheered louder than anyone could imagine! Once it was received, I could not read it fast enough. And now there was a new princess, and half-sister, in addition to Mia? Well, hello Olivia! I welcome you to Genovia and the family that I almost feel that I am a part of as well! I became a fan of Olivia's books as well ( From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess) . Now, a e-short story will be released in early May before Olivia's second story comes out!  Note: If you have not read  Royal Wedding  yet and plan to, this short story (and my review) may provide spoilers! Like a soft, comfortable and familiar blanket, Roya
