Come on!

I’m so ready for this baby to come… Most of the day and night are pretty uncomfortable. Shooting nerve pains where I didn’t know I had nerves. Cramps at random times (usually at night) that are somewhere between painful contractions and tense Braxton Hicks. Only my black skirt, brown capris, and boxer shorts feel okay to wear. Thank goodness I don’t have to leave the house much. I also get super stiff. Sometimes I’ll lean on one leg and then feel like I’m stuck in that position! It’s so strange. Just when you think nothing about pregnancy can surprise you, there is always something new that pops up.

I guess it’s good to be this uncomfortable. It makes labor a touch less dreadful. I’m still dreading it though. I just need to focus on the good and remember that labor will not last forever. I already told Paul that the only thing I want to hear in the delivery room is that I’m doing a good job– even if it’s a total lie! I respond well to praise. 😉

Anyway, last weekend we went to the Kiddie Parade. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. (I always think I like fairs/festivals more than I actually do.) We didn’t stay long, but Toshi got to jump on a moon bounce thing (along with all older boys, of course), and she got to ride on a pony! She did such a good job and I think she really enjoyed it. At least, she likes to tell people about it.
