I am slowly getting things done in preparation for welcoming a new member.
I still have a TON of stuff to do and I am crossing my fingers it will all get done in time. There are many times when I think I am not going to go much longer. I am pretty sure the baby has dropped, movements have slowed down, im super nauseous and the fatigue has hit me again. This is pretty common for me right at the end.
But yet, my last 2 babies came at 39 weeks and right on his due date. So judging by that I don't think I will go for at least another 2+ weeks.
This is my 4th baby in such a short time, obviously my body knows what to do so things will just go quicker? ugh! this waiting game can really suck. As long as the baby is healthy I will wait forever.
This week we are going to blow up the pool and do a mock setup of the birthing area just to make sure the room is sufficient. Its going to be in our living room so im sure it is, but better be safe than sorry!
Still have to go get a hose to fill the pool and the adapter thingy to hookup to the faucet. I think that is the only things left to get to complete the birth kit.
This past week I started drinking Red Raspberry Leaf Tea. Ive had it since the beginning of my pregnancy, but lazy me hasn't been drinking it. So I made a huge batch and just stuck it in my frig so when I want some I just heat it up and viola! its so yummy! Since drinking it I have noticed I am not having the contractions in the evenings like I was. I was getting so miserable, I was dreading the evenings. This is a nice break! It might have no relation, but its still nice.
I started taking EPO this morning. those are so nasty, but have always worked for me. Any time I have a little burp the taste comes up BLECH!
I don't have an appt with Susan until this coming Tuesday, so we'll see what that day brings.
Here is a lovely pic of me this morning:
