Today is Friday and that means I have exactly 28 days until my due date. Or 672 hours left- Which ever way you want to look at it. Neither seem to sound like the time is going to fly by any faster. I will NOT pray for patience though. God will probably choose to allow Kenzie to stay cozy for an extra 2 weeks, and that just cannot happen. I want to cry just thinking about it.
So here is the update.
1. I waddle everywhere I go. I have two speeds- penguin waddle(to only be used when rushing to the bathroom), and turtle waddle (used all the other times).
2. Kenzie is still head down with her feet in my ribs. My midwife says she's already really low, but I haven't had an internal exam yet, so I have nothing to report on that issue. She is currently "sunny side up" (facing the wrong direction) though. I'm doing some stretches to encourage her to turn her back towards my belly.
3. I am having really bad sciatic nerve pain. Nothing seems to help except for sitting around and doing nothing all day. (which is impossible when you work with 2 year olds) This will probably get better if miss Kenzie will turn around.
4. We graduated our childbirth class- so brady hopefully listened and learned a few things. :-) He says he would be able to deliver her at home, as long as someone can bring him hot water. I asked what the hot water was for... and he said "I don't know but it's what they always yell in the movies." Thank you Lord for cell phones to call 911. I'm not sure I'd survive it were up to my husband.
5. As for the nursery, things are looking great. I'm still waiting for Brady to make the shelf that will go in the closet, and the wall shelf that will hang above the changing table.
6. I have yet to pack my hospital bag, but I have several lists made of things that need to be packed.
Hmm.... what else has been going on?
7.Don't let any dentists read this- I'm obsessed with eating ice!!!! It's absolutely amazing and delicious!!!! I know how horrible it is for my teeth, but I don't really care.
8. My new crocs came in last week. They help with the back pain. They are very comfy, but I'd still like to get a pedicure. :-)
9. Our yard is a work in progress. I hope it will be looking better by Monday so I can plant some of the veggies and herbs that we bought several weeks ago. 10. Brady's buisness is going very well these days. He currently has 2 employees, and will probably hire another one by summer. God is truly providing.
11. Sorry I have to write this, but I'm ready for my daughter to be out of my ribs, and in my arms!!! I had a very easy pregnancy, and have loved most of it, but I'm ready to have some control over my body again. Plus I really want to meet Kenzie. Brady's mom and grandmother are visiting my sister-in-law and her family right now. They don't get back from Maryland until April 26th. I love them dearly, but I'm not sure I want to wait for them to get back to get this show on the road! Going to the due date seems highly over rated. lol
12. My moods are turning bipolar by the day.... keep Brady in your prayers. Most of the time I feel like I'm in a "funk" I guess you could call it. I feel like I have no life these days. All I ever do is sit on the couch in an empty house. I don't know when the last time I went out for fun with someone other than Brady. I know there isn't a lot I can do these days, but I'd still like to try. Ok enough of my moody "funk".
PS: Kenzie is currently 5 1/2 lbs as of 4/12/11.
