I Only Wear Shoes on Thursdays

Today marks 33 weeks, which means I have three more weeks of this to go!  (At LEAST 3 more weeks, but that is the goal.)

I was on bed rest with my second pregnancy for 3 weeks, and compared to the 6 weeks with my third pregnancy, 3 weeks seemed like a piece of cake.  Before I went on bed rest with this one, I thought that if I ended up with only 3 weeks I would be lucky!  Believe me, I am VERY happy to say that I only have 3 weeks left, but having already been down for 9, I'm getting pretty tired of this.

I find myself counting down in funny ways, just to try to make it not sound so bad.  

3 more weeks means:

* Only 21 more days
* I only have to wash my hair 11 more times
* I only have to take 126 more Nifedipine pills (every 4 hours!)
* Probably 1 more box of tissues
* 7 more rolls of toilet paper
* 4 more progesterone shots
* 2 more actual doctor appointments
* 3 more Thursday lunches that my mom brings in
* my kids get 6 more Grandma days (3 with each Grandma), AND...
* I probably only have to put my shoes on 3 more times before this baby comes!!!

Scratch that last one.  I put them on every Thursday to go get my shot, but I guess I'll have to put them on again when we head to the hospital, so that makes 4.  And if I have to go to the hospital again before he is born, that'll add to the shoe tally.  But let's just hope that doesn't happen, and we'll say 4 is the magical number!  :)
