Ok so I have three days until my due date how exciting the end is near! Ofcourse this baby could be stubborn and decide it likes it in my womb and stay longer (let's hope not) I went to my midwife today and everything checked out fine, they are such wonderful midwives and have really enjoyed being under their care. They told me today that if I wanted I could start a 3 day induction plan on Sunday, originally she said Tuesday but I told her I wanted to have it before my mother got here so she is going to let me start Sunday. It isn't the same type of inducing that they do at the hospital with the pitocin IV. This is a gentle gradual process starting with Castor Oil (yuck wish I could skip that day though) and then moving on to homeopathic options that use natural methods to get your body working. Of course I am hoping I won't have to do any of this and will go on my due date. The suspense is starting to get to Brent, he is terrible at surprises he is the type that never grew out of that little kid stage of having to open all your christmas gifts before christmas, will pout until you tell him the surprise, and can't keep a secret to save his life! He is so adorable when he gets like this and nice to know he still has that little boy in him. So the fact that he doesn't know when this baby will come, what the sex will be, or how much it will weigh or look like is absolutely killing him and I am enjoying watching the torture!
I spend my days trying to stay active, walking twice a day, and doing more housework which is getting increasingly difficult with the baby dropping and my growing size. I feel like everytime the baby moves it's head it is grinding it into my pelvis and crushing my lungs at the same time so that I can't get a full breath of air to save my life. finally in the past couple weeks my nausea has ebbed quite a bit (not totally gone) so I have been able to do more and right now I am trying to do a lot of crochet and knitting to get christmas gifts done before the baby comes since being a stay at home mom I don't have the money to buy gifts for everyone. But I prefer to do homemade things anyway and think I will make it a permanant custom since I think christmas has gotten out of control from the real meaning and homemade things have more meaning and hopefully I can instill this into my children what christmas really means. well the next time you will hear from me will be after the baby is born please keep me in your prayers that all goes smoothly!
