The cord is falling off today. I can’t believe what a blur the past days have been. They have been some of the most amazing of my entire life. Being a family of three is wonderful. Having Andrew here to bond and enjoy Michaela has been so important. I told Andrew yesterday that this “vacation” [...]

Today

Today is a bit harder. Not sure why but I am really tired and emotional. I think God is showing me that I need to put my trust in Him and not be afraid.
Here are a few quotes I found.
Why is it that we have more faith that the pieces of a puzzle made by

The midwife visit went well last night. Baby was really active for the non stress test and it printed out a form with it’s heart rate all over the scale from 120’s to 160’s and even showed a few contractions I was having (minor ones mind you) I was like oh my back is starting [...]
Sunshine

Yesterday, the sun came out in the afternoon for the first time in like 3 days! Today it is shining so brightly and I feel so much better! I think I can stick it out a few more weeks if I have to now. It is amazing how much sunshine can make me feel better. [...]
Poll and pictures

I cleaned out our laundry room and decided to make the top of the dryer a changing table. I figured it was close to the sink and close to the washer so that cleaning messes are that much easier. Plus I tend to be in the living room/kitchen area most of the day so I [...]
Meal planning tip

I have found Google Calander to be so helpful in organizing and reminding me what to prepare for the next day’s meal as well as helping with my grocery list. We decided to have several of the same meals weekly at least most weeks for simplicity’s sake at this point in our lives with a little [...]
Little faith and being 4 days “over”
Posted in Homemaking, baby, link, pregnancy, women, tagged baby, birth, waiting on October 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My sister in law recently told me she went 10 days over with her last and ended up being induced! Oy. I hear from random places the norm is to go somewhere from 5 to 10 days over. I have decided that I will go approximately forever over. The constant thought running through my mind: “This baby [...]

Due today?!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 40 weeks, baby, due date, waiting on October 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Andrew asked me this morning “Is the baby coming today?” Uh I have no idea! But hey the midwife assured me yesterday at our visit that it should come in the next week or two. Progress is being made and the contractions are making headway in effacement (50%) and dilation although I am no where [...]
Just what kind of “change”

Listening to Obama’s speech at Planned Parenthood makes me ask just what is “freedom and “basic human rights”?”
Please hear what Obama has to say for himself on the subject. This speech was delivered to Planned Parenthood in July 2007, where he promises that his “first act as president” will be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act [...]
Um no…

So it wasn’t ”the sign” (see last post).
We went for a long walk in the evening with the Scrufster through which I had near continuous pressure waves. We watched the movie Jeremiah, went to bed where I had contractions all night long and woke up to a pretty mean lower back ache. I think my body just likes [...]
Is this “the sign”?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 39 weeks, birth, waiting on October 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I feel really sick to my stomach and my lower back aches bad. All this again, makes me wonder “is this the sign?” I ask that question almost daily about some new symptom or twinge or whatever. I think that is what fills my time up. SAD SAD SAD. Late in pregnancy you feel like [...]
So now I feel normal.

Prodromal labor
But, could this really go on for another 2-3 weeks?! Whew. My family is going to go berserk waiting.
Well, somewhere I read that it was like putting payment down for your labor in installments. Maybe that makes me feel a little better.
Does it feel possible that we are 3 days from the infamous “due date”. [...]
Pre-labor and more pre-labor
Posted in pregnancy on October 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Yesterday evening Andrew and I had a delightful time visiting the Ulmer family. We all laughed so much and enjoyed talking, eating delicious pizza and playing “four on a couch”. All the laughing brought on the most contractions I have experienced so far. On the way home I timed several and they were almost a minute long and [...]
