We're all moved into the hotel, which has been really great so far. The accommodations are nice, the staff have been wonderful, and having two bathrooms may be the reason Kevin survives this last month of pregnancy. I should really take up residence in one of the bathrooms because I don't think there will ever be a time when I don't have to pee until this baby finally comes out. The good news is that two days ago he officially dropped, which means I can eat and breathe better. I was hoping this also meant that I would deliver sometime soon. However the midwife says that while the baby dropping is a good sign, it doesn't really say much about when Jonah will be born. So more waiting ahead!
I'm 36 weeks and getting bigger by the second. I can definitely tell there's a whole baby in there now. Feet, hands, back and butt are all very apparent through my skin. Kevin's so excited to meet our son; sometimes I don't think he can handle any more waiting. He's always talking about how cute Jonah will be, the things they he will teach Jonah, the games they will play... He checked out several books from the library and has been reading up on parenting. It's all very, very sweet. I have been reading up on babies some, but mostly I have been napping. I have never been this exhausted!
Kevin's been good about taking me on walk every day. The hotel is very close to this park on the shore and when the weather is nice we drive the quarter mile or so to walk along the ocean. When it's raining (which it has been frequently lately), we drive the quarter mile or so over to Ikea and do a walk through that giant maze of a store. I'd like to do some swimming in the hotel pool but the water is still freezing and I'm worried it would be too much of a shock to little Jonah's system.
Here are some pictures of our temporary home. There's a bedroom and bathroom downstairs and then upstairs there's another bedroom/bathroom which we mainly use to store all of Jonah's stuff. It's pretty nice, right? The best part is the maid that comes every day. I hate to think of moving back to our apartment - I don't think I can learn to live without her.
