37+ Weeks

I had my 37+ weeks dr’s appointment yesteday – nothing has changed in the past week except my weight and the size of the baby. So we stay in stasis until something changes. Basically labour just needs to start… I had an evening of painful contractions this week which sadly ended at 2am. All in all this is getting frustrating… Ken is working from home, I am tired 24/7 and the kids are somewhat confused by all the changes. The every 10 min painless contractions have relaxed to tightening whenever I am moving around… getting up to walk around or stand can be VERY uncomfortable. I am still not getting a ton of sleep and seem to have caught the cough that the rest of the family has. Emanuel especially is having a rough time of it. Lots of coughing and runny noses.
My next dr’s appointment is Tuesday with a different dr. I am not too happy about going back before a week is up but it was when they could fit me in. Dr. Brown is gone for the week. Like Ken says maybe we will luck out and not have to go?? lol in other words – baby come NOW ! I am more than ready to meet the newest little one on in our family…
On extended family news my uncle and aunt adopted twin boys this month! They were born on the 11th of April at 34 weeks. So should not be in the hospital too long – hopefully! My first thought – now we aren’t the only ones with twins! How wonderful for Zander and Gavin to have someone else in the family who is just like them!
Our friends in Minnesota are looking at next Thursday having their first – she is to go in on Monday for some medication to start the ball rolling! I have to say – LUCKY!!! End in sight and everything! I am so beyond tired of waiting and feeling like my body is not my own – espeically being the not so proud recipient of my first 2 stretchmarks ever on my belly! Yikes! But at least baby is moving well and healthy right??
