I’m at that stage of pregnancy that I remember very, very clearly from my pregnancy with Brennan. Waiting. I did it with the other two as well. Cassidy was 10 days late even. I think she was a little easier though – I had no other kids and spent all day long reading or taking walks. I couldn’t do that after her.
But here I am feeling like the next couple weeks are going to drag by. And thinking “this baby could come really late… I could be pregnant for over another month!” Then I manage to calm myself down somewhat. But it still feels like it will be f-o-r-e-v-e-r before I hold my baby.
Silly, irrational – yes – but I know you felt it, and I feel it!
This morning was very hard for me. I woke up feeling nauseous and a little dizzy. And my stomach just plain hurt! I think the baby may have been pressing on it as I slept last night and that caused the ache. The nausea may have been related to blood sugar, or maybe just moving from one position to another. I should really remember to keep a little cup of yogurt with fruit by the bed to have in the middle of the night.
I felt really uncomfortable and really, really like I was ready to be done with this whole pregnant thing!
After breakfast and a rest I felt a little better. Then we finished up Cassidy’s Language Arts homeschool unit and I felt really good. She did so well on her review and I felt like I’ve accomplished a lot too – it has been a 4 week unit 
Now we have a 1 week nature/science unit and then a few weeks break for baby (hopefully we’ll see a baby during the break!)
At lunchtime the FedEx truck pulled up with our infant seat! Finally! I’m so happy to have it. I think we’ll probably install it this weekend after we give the van a good cleaning out
Despite the rough start it has been a good day, and I’m just reminding myself that I like fat healthy babies and I can sit tight for the short time we have left until we meet our baby. But I really, really, really can’t wait to hold him…
