This past week has been hard for me. I have been trying to get everything done that I wanted to get done before our little guy comes into the work but I just didn't have the energy to get it done because I have been so overwhelmed with everything that is going on with school and life. Casey noticed that I was getting really overwhelmed and I just couldn't take it anymore. Since I was so overwhelmed I just broke down and I couldn't do much. I didn't have any motivation to get anything done. I was having a hard time getting through my classes and getting the homework that I needed to get done. Casey helped me out getting some of the things done. Once the house was cleaner I was able to get a little more motivated. I finally got everything done that I wanted to get done. The apartment is clean, the cat is groomed, clothes are clean, bag is packed and in the car, car seat is installed, and his outfit is picked out. Now that everything is ready except for our little guy it is hard for me to not want to just go into labor so he will be able to come into the world. I know that he will come on his own time but I am just sick of waiting to meet him. I have been waiting for 9 months now. Isn't that long enough? Well he will come when he comes and I can't wait for that day.
Even though that I can't wait to give birth to my son, I am getting very nervous about the whole labor part. Sometimes I wish that it was like in the movies where a bird came and dropped him off at my doorstep in a little basket, but I know that it will be okay. I am just so nervous about it. I have been having contractions that are pretty strong but they aren't consistant. The last for like 30 to 40 seconds and are about 5 to 6 minutes apart for about an hour but then they stop for a while and return in like 3 ish hours. So if you couldn't tell, I am getting annoyed with them. I just want my water to break so I can go to the hospital and give birth to this baby of mine. But then when I am having those contractions I get so nervous that I sometimes say I don't know if I will be able to do this.. I know I can and I will be able to. Now it is back to the waiting for this little guy to be ready and join casey and I.

I LOVE the labor and delivery part of the whole experience of being pregnant.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be just fine!
I'm excited for you and Casey. You'll be great parents! Best of luck!
When is your due date?
You can do it! The Lord will help you, and Casey will be there to support you =) By the way, your "water breaking" as the first sign of labor actually only happens to about 20% of women. Most women go into labor without that sign and the doctor has to break their water for them. So don't wait for that as your first signal. If you're concerned about the contractions at all, call a nurse and describe what they have been like, how long you've had them, how far apart, etc. and she/he can tell you if you should come in. (I say these things as if I've experienced them, which I haven't, but I have had a lot of friends and two sisters go through it and tell me lots of things about it!) Good luck! I'm excited for you guys!
