So, today I am now 36 weeks pregnant! It seems like it has just flown by. So many things have happened since I got pregnant. But, the end is almost here and soon I'll be holding little Jessica Grace in my arms and seeing how beautiful she is! I have an appointment tomorrow just to see how things are. Hopefully I have made some progress. I haven't taken any brethine since the other day. I haven't had any timed contractions but I have had a few strong ones. I am hoping that it may help me progress a little. The brethine keeps me from having contractions but it also keeps me from softening or dilating.
Steve came home yesterday in one of the best moods I have seen him in in a while. I think he had his own little nesting stage. We went to Wal-mart after I picked him up from the Bear Creek station to get dinner for last night. As soon as we got home he went to work, on our bedroom. He rearranged everything so that Jessica's stuff could fit better. Johnathan is now in the play room instead of in our bedroom. He put her pack n' play, bouncer, stroller and car seat together. He helped me reorganize the changing table so that everything looks nicer and helped me get Jessica's Diaper bag ready. Then for dinner he cooked Chicken Parmesan, made a salad, mini pizzas for the kids, and baked a marble cake for desert. Then after he went to the fire meeting and to town for some medicine for John, we watched some TV and spent some adult time together.
It was wonderful!
I am just so happy that in the past few weeks I have finally gotten so excited about the baby. I finally know her name and that she will be here soon. At my last appoinment she was in position and really low. The pressure in my pelvis area seems like it is going to kill me sometimes, but I just keep thinking that I don't have much longer now!
Well, off I go.

HELLO AGAIN
Hello all. I have been gone for a long time now so I thought I would just stop by and say "Hi".
There has been a lot of things going on in my life as with everyone else. If you have read Jen's Blog lately you obviously already know that we are expecting our fifth anytime now. So I am really excited about that. Her name is Jessica Grace Pearce and she will for sure be the last.
I still work at the same place that I have been since last summer. I found out today that I was officially promoted to a shift supervisor over 4 911 trucks and one transfer truck. I thought it was kind of cool since I never even applied for the position and it is a paramedic position. They however thought that with my work ethic, ie: living here, and the fact that I know the protocols and policies rather well that I would make a good choice. I got promoted to Interim Lt. which basically means I am temporary until I get my Paramedic in Jan-Feb and then it becomes permanent. Yes I said Paramedic scary huh. I finally decided what to make of my life. So I started school in August TEEX 15 wk class and now I only have 8 days left. It has not been easy but with the family support I have received it has not been as hard as I thought it would be either. I can't wait until I get in the Certificate that will open up more doors for me and will make my families life a lot better. For those of you who don't know Paramedics are extremely underpaid, However when you consider basics make 7.35-8.20 an hour (yes that is what I've made the past two years doing 911) then 14 seems like a dream come true. It won't be to bad with my Lt. pay and the fact that we average 64 hours a week I will start out making about 48000 at my main job to work 10 days a month. I plan on getting a second job to supplement the income so that Jen can continue to be a stay at home mom.
The main reason that I am posting today though is to say that I like everyone else needs to realize that everyone makes mistakes. You live, you learn, you forgive, leave the judging to God.
Believe me when we all get there I for one know that I will be reminded of mistakes that I have forgotten about that are much worse then the ones that I blame on you. The definition of blame is to verb "To find fault with", noun "The state of being responsible for a fault or error". So I for one believe that maybe I/we should stop using the verb to blame others and start using the noun to admit that we ourselves are at least partially responsible. Hopefully for others this will not take as much heartache, pain, and suffering that it has caused me and others that I am or once was close to to realize.
Good Luck, God Bless, and Be Safe Out There,
Steve

Some more random thoughts, because I'm bored
And I really have nothing else better to do than ramble off into space. I am a member of Cafemom.com. It is a really good site. They have many different groups that you can join for any interest that you have. They have groups for pregnant women, sex, older children, step-parenting, and even psychics. I highly recommend it for anyone who would like to give and/or receive advice about anything. Here is my only warning though. Be prepared for some drama. It is easy to steer clear of, don't reply to any post that is there for the drama effect. As most know, women can be catty about anything. So, you can still get some drama but there are still a lot of really nice women.
The pregnancy is going well. I still have not dilated and my cervix is the same. I haven't taken the medicine to stop contractions unless I am having them. I don't see the point in making my heart race and feeling jittery just to help prevent them. The medicine pretty much stops them when I take it. I am 2 days from being 36 weeks. The nurse at the hospital said that if I go into labor that day or any day after they will not stop my labor. At first I was thinking that I would go in labor early, but now I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I am going to be pregnant forever and some days I feel like I may be a little early. Either way I just want her to be healthy. And of course to get my tubes tied. I can't wait for that to happen! Then no more kiddos for me! I have been having withdrawals from having comfortable sex, too. I know, TMI for you all, but I haven't gone without this long since Steve and I started dating. Anyways, I guess it's time for me to stop rambling and finish eating my waffles. I need to find something else to do anyway.

Annoying days and sleepless nights
So, as of right now it is 4:24 A.M. and I am wide awake. It sucks. My days are consumed with doing stuff for the kids, MIL and helping Steve study. Along with those tasks comes contractions, which are getting more painful everyday. Now not only are they going into my groin, but in my back. Yeah. Back labor. What a joyous thing to have.
My shower is next weekend, thankfully! I am really excited about it. Just help remind me that we do not have much more time left. Tomorrow I will be 34 weeks pregnant and they aren't expecting me to make it to my due date. I don't think I will either. I just hope that I can make it past 36 weeks. I'm actually starting to get a little nervous. I want to know how the kids are going to react to having another baby around. I want to know what the baby looks like. I want to know how I am going to react to having another baby. I was so out of touch with Tiffany. I just don't want that to happen again. With Tiffany I honestly felt like someone was trying to horn in on my bonding experience. It took me so long to completely bond with her. With Johnathan, it only took a week. I just don't want to feel that way again. I was so depressed. I hate being depressed. It is very hard for me to get past depression. It is a very, very difficult feeling for me.
We did find out last week that we are adding another little girl to our bunch. We have decided to name her Jessica Grace. I thought that I was hoping more for a boy, but as soon as I found out that she was a little girl, my heart skipped a beat. I was so happy. After that, I didn't pay much attention to what the ultra sound tech was doing. Except when she would pas over my 2 ticklish spots at the bottom of my stomach. That was funny.
Anyways... I am going to try and sleep again. Anyone know some herbal tea that will help me sleep?
