Fast Running Mommy

I have plans to go another when Sasha gets back. The kids needed me and I got contractions that I couldn't walk through. We'll see what happens. I don't really want the baby to come today because I've got some things that I really need to do this week..dental appt with Joseph tomorrow to get some fillings and as much as I hate being the one to take him...he'll need his mommy. Then we promised to take the kids to Cornbelly's on Friday and as it will probably be the majority of their Halloween fun I really want to go...but of course when the baby comes we will be overjoyed....getting nervous...I had a dream his hands were coming out first and I pushed them back in.

I'm not sure on this one..not quite 2 but more than 1.5  My midwife is getting a hysterectomy tomorrow so I am trying to take it easy today and well...maybe the rest of the week just in case I get exercise induced contractions and have a baby while she's recovering!!! I wouldn't mind if her back-up came too much but I'd prefer to have Holly. 

I've decided on a water birth for sure. The way  Holly  does it is with a well..Kiddie pool!! She has determined through many trials that this particular pool is the best because it is deep enough to sit in for an adult but shallow enough that you aren't floating too much. It has squishy sides so you can lean into without coming up against a hard wall.

When I get my sense of humor back about it all I'll write a nice summary of the experience.

My stomach feels soooooo heavy. 

just a little bit short today..no contractions which is good since my midwife is having a day surgery today...Lots to do..everyone have a great day!!

The neighbor girl across the street says to her mommy as she watches me go by, "Sis. Pachev sure is running slow" She is a cute little girl that gives me a hug every time I see her because she's so excited that I'm having a baby. 

I must have overdone something yesterday because I couldn't get up until after 7...normally I'm up before. Then I couldn't get myself out the door. Normally I really do feel like exercising. I ended up going later and actually ran to the library while Sasha drove the kids there. We couldn't have timed it better when we both ended up at a red light. It took a minute for the kids to see me but then they started waving like crazy. That was fun.  

I think it may be time to call it good and just do a mile each day until this baby comes out....I'm in the homestretch...I'm tired and need to taper as best I can :)

I actually felt rested this morning and felt like doing 2. At my appointment yesterday I had dropped 1 centimeter..maybe that's why I got that lovely bladder pain for half the run...fun stuff.  Is it normal to panic every time your husband leaves when you are close? I forget little details like that from pregnancy to pregnancy. As he walked out the door this morning I reminded him to answer his cell phone if I call and to not forget that I am 12 days away from having a baby....give or take. :) Jenny bless her heart had a dream I had the baby on Nov 1..not my first choice.
