Week 38

I feel like a whale. I feel like a whale that ate another, bigger whale and that bigger whale is trying to get out by pushing in every direction and if it would just calm down and do what it is supposed to do then the bigger whale would come out easily, and the smaller whale would be able to breathe again and move normally and not hurt and ache. Sorry, Hadley, I guess momma just compared us to a couple of whales. :P But seriously, this little girl is so stubborn! I have an appointment on Tuesday, at 39 weeks, to get a membrane sweep done IF I am dilated. Hopefully all of the evening primrose oils and pineapple at least helped with that. I am just ready to hold my baby girl at this point.
   Today I got a huge gift from the women of our church back home and cried. Which I cry at everything these days, but I was just so thankful. I miss our old church!! And I miss everyone back home. Christmas does that. So does Thanksgiving, but I just love Christmas! :P But anyway, there is laundry to be done, and my back is starting to ache super bad. Until next time!!

Week 37

I know I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. But nothing has changed. My belly is still big. She is still a she. I am still showing and I am STILL exhausted! Although nesting has settled in for sure. The PROBLEM is, that I don't have the energy to do everything I wanna do!! But I'm getting there. Slowly but surely I have, SLOWLY, gotten things in order. The guest room has been cleaned out, our room has been organized along with all of her things. The rest of the things we needed we have bought. And I've been scrambling to get the house completely clean. Plus I want to begin putting up decorations because Christmas is my all time FAVORITE holiday, and usually we don't do ANYTHING until the day after Thanksgiving... but since Hadley may make an appearance any day now I want everything to be perfect. Although we will still be putting up the tree after Thanksgiving. Because that is our tradition of three years. Plus I am going to make Hadley a christmas blanket and Tony one too! I'm so excited! Plus it will keep me busy! Jo-anns is having a sale on christmas fabrics. Yay!  And then my mom is coming November 22... So, I guess we only have one thing left. Er, one tiny little human left. And I think it's driving me crazy that I can't PLAN her arrival. But don't think I am not trying. I'm trying. :P
