Are we there yet?

I had a fantastic weekend. Friday night M and I decided to relax at home because we had some plans for the weekend. On Saturday, I had a girly spa day where two friends took me to get a manicure and pedicure - which M proceeded to start ripping down a wall between our kitchen and front room. Yes, I know we talked about no more remodel before the bun but as it hadn't felt like anything was happening, i told him to get started. If we had the baby that day, he could stop working, if we didn't have the baby for a month, he'd have time to finish it all! So he started taking the kitchen cupboards down after we moved the office and refridgerator to create some space for him to work.

Saturday we went to dinner with some good friends and had a lovely evening. I'm uncomfortable all the time now, so sitting for longer than a couple hours is icky. We were home by 10pm. Ah, the days when I could stay out until 11pm! I miss 'em! lol Interestingly enough, the minute I lay down, we're fine, but I'd say the bun is running out of room and sitting isn't working for either of us...

Sunday I went to yoga and the library while M proceeded to tear down more of the house. We had a baby shower of sorts of Sunday night with some friends, it was lovely. I'm not a huge fan of that sort of thing, and I really dislike being the center of attention but fortunately it didn't last long. They made a lovely meal and we got some really cute stuff for the bun - more clothes and bath stuff and a really cool diaper bag. :) Sunday night I was tired but woke up at 3am and couldn't go back to sleep. I went to the couch and watched a bit of tv before falling back to sleep around 4am. I'm just uncomfortable. Full stop.

Yesterday I had to make a last run to a couple of our properties to install some scanners. I have had the scanners at home here for 2 months while we tried to troubleshoot the problems before taking them to the properties they are meant for. As I only have a week before I drop, I told them I was coming out and would set them up as far as I could. Riding in the car isn't fun and I had to go about 35 miles each way. By the time I returned, I was wrecked and spent the rest of the afternoon in bed. I felt like I was getting the flu.

Even after another crappy night's sleep, I feel better today. Not great but better. Hoping that this means maybe the time is soon?

No doubt about it, the time is soon!

Hauling around and installing scanners was probably a little TOO much for you and the bun.

I guess M couldn't stand it another moment, huh? Good to keep him busy. No sense standing around waiting for you to dilate. ;-)

As for YOU, why don't you just sit (or recline) and relax for now.

Before you know it, your family will be a wee bit bigger!

:-)

SO exciting!

M really does make most other men look bad by comparison.

Glad to hear that you're coping well in the home stretch. Now would you drive out to NYC to drop off those scanners when you get a moment? Thanks.

I remember toward the end of my pregnancy with Cameron, my (ex) husband took me to see a movie that I REALLY wanted to see. I sat for maybe 15 minutes of it and couldn't take it any longer. He stayed til the end and I paced the parking lot.

That last bit of road is so uncomfortable when it comes to sitting.

But, you sure do sound like you're getting to the last mile....

Oh yeah... I remember that. Can't sit, can't sleep, can't breathe. Any day now!!!!

How exciting!!

Yeah! How WILL we get the news???

You know we'll all be sitting here waiting QUITE impatiently.

Don't worry about us, though. You just go ahead and bring in the bun. We'll wait to hear. Somehow. Some way.
