Counting the days…
…until the baby is here!!! I can’t wait to be a mom instead of a pregnant lady!
Last night I woke up around 1am, and absolutely couldn’t sleep, so Mike and I both got up and started fooling around on our computers. Eventually I moved on to pregnancy books and cross stitch. By about 5am, I was ready to try sleep again. We did end up falling asleep sometime after 5, and woke up around 9am. Fun times. Mike called in today, so he was able to help me out around the house a bit. I did a bit of cleaning- not much, but enough to make me feel somewhat accomplished. I dusted 1 corner of the living room, and cleaned part of the kitchen. I still have a section to go, but considering I hadn’t cleaned the kitchen in over a month (yikes!!) I felt pretty good about my progress. Speaking of progress, Jordan seems to be making progress downward still, which is a very good thing. I’ve managed to take a half hour walk or so every day since my Dr’s appointment, so I’m hoping that is doing something. My plan was 2 walks a day, but so far I’ve only done one. 2 of my walks I’ve taken with Mike which has been very nice. Just strolling the neighborhood together. I think that may be something we keep up after the baby comes- evening walks with the family. They are very relaxing. Today’s walk was mid-morning, right before lunch, so it was a bit hotter. I think tomorrow’s walk will have to be later in the evening, or earlier in the morning.
Most of our friends are out of town right now, and some of our family is, too, so we think that the baby has a good chance of coming soon, since a bunch of people will be hard to reach to let them know. Murphy’s law, you know. My mom is planning on coming down next week so that she’s here when I go into labor, hopefully. I’m hoping to do enough activity to make Jordan want to come on her own a bit early, so I won’t have to be induced, or at least the process will have already started, or something. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll get to do all the errands, and maybe a bit more cleaning. I want to finish cleaning the kitchen, and I hope to start on one of the bathroom’s tomorrow, too. I figure if I do a little each day the house won’t look quite so bad when the baby arrives!
I realize this post isn’t very interesting, but that’s really all that’s going on here. We’re just waiting for the baby to come, and hoping that she comes very very soon!!!
