So last night I was contemplating castor oil. After reading a number of articles and a call from Doc Justin, we've decided all the other methods will have to work. The side effects of that monster sound not so good. I'm willing to take one for the team, but Mr. Ward isn't so keen on it. Hmmmm... I walked around the house last night like a mad woman. This is my last chance to get her here before Christmas. I think she's comfty and not wanting to budge. As my Aunt told me yesterday... its always the difficult ones that turn out to be the most beautiful and intelligent. =)
What else is going on here? Well my mom is in town. She's at my sister's till tonight and then over to our house. Woohoo... One of Craig's best friends is also coming to town tonight to stay with us. Its our annual trip from Uncle Avi. Should be fun. He's fired up that Sydney could come while he's here. Would be fun, but its the always the difficult ones =) What else? I'm headed back to JC tomorrow for a department party. Should be fun. I was hoping to not be able to go, but nothing seems to be working as planned these days. Okay, well ist 3:15 and I should try and get some more sleep before you know who gets mad. He's so funny these days. I swear, if he takes one more picture of me... =) Now we know where Syd's getting the crazy genes... both of us!!
Ciao for now!
Okay, so I'm sort of having cabin fever. Its only been 3 days, I know, but 3 days of rain and napping is sort of driving me crazy. I just want Sydney to be here already. Today would be a good day =) I think it would be a little easier if I could go out and walk and be productive in trying to get here to come out, but I'm stuck in the house. I went out to Target and Home Depot, but then I'm done and back at home... uggg... Okay, i'm going to walk around the house a little more. Happy Rainy Day!!!
Rain drops falling on my head
I love the rain! Its weird playing hooky and relaxing in the rain. Its the day I always dream of. Just wish my hubs was here with me.
Happy Rain Day!
Happy Rain Day!
Count Down
So I know I initially said I wouldn't use this to only talk about babies and motherhood, and I still intend to keep that promise. But it is a big part of my life right now, so I will be talking about it, just not all the time =)
First... its 5:00 in the morning and I'm once again up and can't sleep. I hear my sleep will be even less in a short time, but its just so hard at this point to go back to sleep once I'm awake. The last couple of days have been so weird. Technically, we are almost at 38 weeks, so normally I guess folks wouldn't be worried for another couple of weeks. But of course Sydney sets herself apart and confuses me. At the last dr.'s appointment they were saying that she's measuring big and the date that comes out of the machine is 38 weeks. That was 2 weeks ago. That of course would put me at 40 weeks this week. So we're thinking any day. We're hoping any day. They have scheduled me for the 23rd. I had my "bummed" day about it when I heard. But really, it was only selfish reasons why I was bummed that they picked that day. We'd be in the hospital over Christmas, which is a bummer. Sydney's birthday would be 2 days before Christmas, bummer. She would be a Capricorn and not a Sagitarius, bummer(sorry Capricorn friends). And some of my close friends will be out of town, bummer. But really I'm just being selfish. I'm looking at all the bad things. The things that I should be concentrating on are that her lungs will be fully developed. She's going to be a healthy baby girl. And God bless those people and especially friends that are trying to get pregnant and aren't having any luck. I would think they would love to be in my position right now. I'm very thankful for my life and I'm just thankful that she's coming out soon.
With that being said... Don't think I'm not doing all I can to have this girl naturally in the next couple of days. =) I've been dancing, walking, eating spicy foods and all the things they say brings on labor. Of course, when you look them up, they are all wise-tails, but heck, we're doing them.
It must be just that I'm so big at this point, but I think its funny that everyone seems to think that the only thing I like to talk about is pregnancy and being pregnant and having babies. It must be because I'm so close, but I think its funny. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Alright, I think I'm going to try and shut my eyes for another couple of hours.
Tomorrow is my first day of not working. I'm sure it will be a trip. Its such a weird thing to comprehend. Well I'll let you know when Syd makes her appearance.
Ciao for now!
