Oh… Hello there.
Wow. Sorry folks for the lack of posting for about a month! I have been super busy with the holidays, work, and being pregnant. It seems that something had to suffer.
Well just to update, I am officially in the home stretch of pregnancy. I’m 37 weeks :) along and the doctor said at our last appointment that I was 1.5 cm dilated and 70% effaced. We’ve started going to the doctor weekly now so pretty soon it’ll be the BIG trip to the hospital. I’ve decided that I hate braxton hicks contractions pretty much as much as i hate it when keeyln’s head hits me in the cervix. (I don’t think you can say you’ve “lived” until you can say you’ve been head-butted in the cervix.) Ryan and I starting to get all the little things together now.. Packing the hospital bag, washing all of her clothes, etc. It’s at that point where she’ll come whether we’re ready or not and I would prefer to be somewhat ready.
Work has been insane. I’ve been trying to get everything caught up and ahead so when I leave for my maternity leave everyone and everything is in some sort of order. My case load will be broken up and my clients will have to live life without me for a few months.
Ryan and I have had very quiet holidays. Since I wasn’t able to travel people pretty much had to come to us so our guest bedroom has been very busy. I’m kind of looking forward to having OUR house back again and it just being the two of us until Keelyn comes.
I feel huge. I know all pregnant women say that and everyone says “you’re pregnant and beautiful” but I feel really gross. I’m like a turtle rolled over on it’s back. I can’t bend down or over and sleeping has become so hard just due to my being uncomfortable. I feel like I get maybe 4 hours of sleep a nite and so I’m always tired. My hips hurt, I can’t breathe, and my pelvis just aches. I’ve also become more emotional. I cry or feel like crying at everything. I have mini freak outs about labor and the signs that come along with it. I’m really nervous that something is going to happen in public, so I’ve become a HUGE homebody.
Anyway, things are certainly progressing. Right now I need some food so off I’ll go and I promise I’ll start posting more :)
