Week 38 - "Maize Week"

It's week 38 of being pregnant - hopefully we are very near the end of this journey. I've basically reached the stage where there is no possible way to be comfortable and where sleeping is nearly impossible. Last night I was up every hour on the hour to either use the bathroom or stretch the charlie horses out of my legs. It makes for a very long night.

We decided this week was going to be "Maize Week", where we do the things that Maize likes to do since the rest of her life she will have to be a normal dog instead of a spoiled rotten "human" dog. We've been doing lots of walks in the park and around the neighborhood and fetch and sleeping on the couch. Today it was in the low 70's (a great change in our Michigan weather), so Maize and I spent a couple hours outside - I read and she slept on her dog bed which we took outside for the afternoon.

We have all of the baby gear clean and ready to go - hopefully the doctor will decide that Sparky is done incubating and will evict her at the end of the week. We'd like to make it at least through Thursday so we can enjoy some end of dental school festivities before our addition makes us homebound for a few weeks.
