Well, here I am, full term and thoroughly 'over it' but still enjoying the relative serenity of only having one child to physically take care of day to day.
Up until last week, I was doing pretty well I think. I was still taking Champ for outings most days and feeling pretty good in general. Almost exactly as I hit 37 weeks I suddenly feel like I can not do anything much at all. An attempted walk to the (very close) local park on Monday left me breathless before I even started pushing Champ on the swing and Thursday saw me skip music class so we could just play on the floor with Champ's toys all day. As Cowboy says though 'I don't blame you hun, you are about to pop!'.
And about to pop I certainly am. This baby is lower than I ever remember Champ being. I fear she is about to take up residence in my boots. I am BH-ing all over the place with the occasional 'real' contraction thrown in just for fun.
BUT, the nursery is not ready (or even finished being painted) so I am hoping to keep her on the inside for at least another week! Add to that the enjoyment I am getting from spending lots of one on one time with Champ and my legs are firmly crossed.

I hear you!!! I have so much pressure in my pelvis it hurts to simply roll over in bed. I need until Wednesday-- I promised myself I'd have everything done by then, and I know I can do it. Then, bring it on.
ReplyDeleteHang in there these last few weeks!!
So close now! I can't wait to hear about your little one's arrival, but I hope you get the nursery done first!
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh, do I ever remember this feeling. I was SO DONE with being pregnant but NOT done being a mom to one. I was actually really sad those last few days, just thinking about how much things would change once Emma arrived.
ReplyDeleteOne of my blog friends said something very wise, she told me, "Will will still be your baby after Emma gets here."
And it's so true. Things do change, I won't lie, but I think overall, they change for the better. I make sure to do things, just Will and me, but even without special activities together, I still get lots of snuggle time. Perhaps it's because I am nursing so much and sitting so much, but it has actually enabled me to spend MORE time snuggling and reading to him.
SO, I hope that helps a bit. But yes, legs crossed until that nursery is ready. And good luck with L&D!
Anxiously awaiting your exciting news!!!!!!! We haven't heard from you in a while... is the little girl here already?
