So, spent three hours Thursday night in labor & delivery with contractions that did absolutely nothing. Of course, I wasn't even 36 weeks at the time, so we're okay with the baby not having shown up ... but now, the door has been opened for baby to show up pretty much any day. Any day between now and Halloween! I was perfectly prepared to start keeping an eye out for labor this coming weekend—it has completely unbalanced me to start thinking about it now. Because of course it's ALL I can think about.
Advanced pregnancy has me in a completely foul mood, exhausted, exasperated with my little boys and the sheer numbers of messes they make. I can't bend at the waist because of my heartburn; can't bend at the knees because it cuts off the circulation in my legs. So all the toys and junk wind up just finding a home on the floor and staying there. I can't sit or lie down for even 5 minutes because my hips hurt so much when I try to get up.
All of which is to say that I suspect blog posts will be few and far between until this little one shows up, as my brain is mostly taken up with being irritable, wondering how much longer until labor starts, and wanting nothing more than to go to sleep until it does!
