Still waiting...

39 weeks 6 days

I don't know if it's my "advanced maternal age" or third baby or what, but I'm very impatient for labor to start.  I have so much pressure in my pelvis and bottom, and the baby keeps getting on a nerve in my legs that basically dead legs me from the inside- it's painful. I had some swelling in my legs and feet the week after super bowl, but that's all gone away.  I'm going to blame that on all the salty, but delicious, food I had at the Super Bowl party we attended. TMI warning...................................... I lost my mucus plug on Sunday, so i'm really hoping that means i'm close. Besides just being uncomfortable, I'm not too keen on baby getting super big.  Natural childbirth is great, but i can attest it's harder the bigger the baby!  I know I shouldn't be impatient since what awaits me won't exactly be easy either, but at least it will come with a snuggly baby! Next appointment is on Wednesday- my official due date.  I'm ok if I don't make it to that appointment...

We've been enjoying a crazy warm "winter" and this weekend was sunny and upper 70s!  I took the kids to the park Saturday morning and met my sister, niece, and grandmother there.  I think the kids spent most of the entire weekend outside, and it was great!  I even did some sunning on the patio with them. I know come July and August we'll be paying the price for this super warm winter, but it sure beats being cooped up in the house. I had the garden bug bad yesterday, but resisted buying any plants, since I'm sure we'll at least get a blackberry winter before Spring truly arrives.
