Night time has become naptime for me. I literally get up at least every half hour to pee so I only take little naps. I have not had a good night's sleep in a very long time. Lay down on my left side, place pillows under head, under belly, between legs, under arm, and behind me. Wake up 30 minutes later, struggle getting out of bed to pee, hip or pubic bone pops, feeling very sore, get back in bed, try right side, place pillows, get "comfy", fall asleep, wake up 30-40 minutes later to pee, slowly get out of bed again, come back, try left side, try half way on my back, lay in bed up with feet at head of bed, then switch, it's hot, it's cold, it's freakin' HOT, repeat about a million times, early in the morning wake up in tears and exhausted and extremely thirsty, oh and pee yet again. *sigh* Then it's time to make myself breakfast and get things ready. Too tired! I don't want to to anything. I've cleaned the kitchen a million times, it looks beautiful and then 2 days later it looks like I never touched it. I've slowly been trying to move from the kitchen to the livingroom, then to my bedroom and the bathrooms, but it's not working. The kitchen is the only thing I seem to get done because I can't stand seeing my counters filthy, but my feet are swollen afterwards. I sit to eat and take a break, but then I don't want to get up. Instead I go outside and sit on the swing and play with the dogs. I'm trying to give them as much love and attention as possible before the baby gets here. My mom gets here next Monday and I'm trying to clean house for her. I know she's coming to help, but it's not her job to clean my house so I want to tidy up before she gets here so she can relax with me. OK, my kitchen is clean, floor is swept and mopped, no dishes except for 3 cups, my goal for today is the livingroom and hallway bathroom! Oh and pack my hospital bag and look up a fire department that installs carseats :) 23 days and 13 hours left until my duedate! Graduation in 12 days! Will I get to walk the stage with my baby in my belly????? Or will Baby Girl be cheering for me from the stands??? We will see!!!
* Oh my little turkey you are definitely running out of room in there. Can we keep the stretching to a minimum??? LoL First of all, it looks like an alien is trying to break out of Mommy's tummy and second, it's starting to hurt quite a bit. I mean, I can still handle it, but you make Mommy stop in her tracks ♥ Daddy still thinks it's gross, but he can't take his eyes and hands off of you and laughs. I even dream about your kicks! Last night I dreamt I could see your foot in my boob! It was very scary and weird! LoL Mommy will be graduating on the 13th of this month. I wonder if you will have stage fright like me and decide to come out before you have to walk in front of tons of people :) Or if you like the attention and want to be up there with Mommy, hiding under her gown :) We will see. A lot of people think you will be here very soon, some still think you won't be here until the very end of the month of maybe even June. I'm hoping you still come this month, LoL I love you little girl, but Mommy is not getting any rest and she won't be useful if she's exhausted before you even get here. I know I'm going to be beyond exhausted anyway, so please forgive Mommy when she gets emotional. Keep growing, keep kicking and keep stretching :) I know it's crowded in there and very soon we will get to see you my little angel! We love you! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Love,
Mommy
Stop cleaning so much Mary... that made me go into labor! lol Clean in two weeks!lol
ReplyDeleteYep... I agree about the sleep thing... I guess everyone's right... it is prepping you for when the baby is there... cuz that is exactly how it went for me for like 2 weeks straight after she was born... I pray your baby girl does not get colic or acid reflux! But if so, we have tricks for you!
Also, when we go see you hopefully these next two days... I have tips for the hospital bag and at home things you need after...
A hint on the bag... I only used like two things out of it.. what a waste to carry it there and back.. lol
