Week 38

Wow-I've passed the gestation age of Lil' M's birth gestation age (37-38 weeks). I've been off Nifedipine for two days now. I still get contractions, but nothing painful and consistent. I'm basically OK to get off bedrest and do more. Since I wanted to have more weight (possibly) to baby, I choose to lay low still.

However, I am allowing myself to get up more because it's pretty safe to have her now if I were to go into labor. I actually don't mind if it's this week. I'm ready as can be. I'd like to move on to the next chapter of our lives. I look forward to meeting our little girl. I look forward to not being in bed 99% of the time. I look forward to being part of my household again. I look forward to joining society again :). Multiple trips to BRU and Target here I come!

I'm nervous to do it all again, but I'm excited to have another chance to hold another beautiful baby again as I was blessed with Lil' M. I can't wait to physically hold and play with Lil' M. She's grown up so fast. I look forward to relieving my hubby from being Mr. Mom and Dad and caregiver. I'm lucky to have him take care of so much as I know not all men are like that. It's been rough, but it's going to be part of our past soon. I think it's made us aware of the bigger picture in life.

Speaking of BRU and Target, Big M took me there after my doctor's appointment. It was nice, but slow for me. My body can't exactly move like it normally does. Lots of rest. I enjoyed the brief outting. Well, if I want to go into labor now, there's no sense in not being mobile now. Just trying not to tire myself out. I do get contractions when up. I don't mind them if I want to go into labor, but the pressure on my belly/cervix feels uncomfortable.

Everyday's a different day-we'll see if it's this week or 10/24!
