Still Pregnant
All has been going smoothly that is unless you want to count the constant back ache, headaches and not sleeping due to my huge belly. Other than that things are going alright. Not much to report on. I am still pregnant and getting more miserable by the day. My due date is on Monday. I never made it this far with Kailee. Truthfully I didn’t thing I would this time either. But my little guy has other ideas. He seems to be quite comfortable in there, even with the lack of room.
My last prenatal appointment was yesterday. I am 2 cm dialated and 80% effaced. I also pre-registered at the hospital so whenever I do go into labor I don’t have to worry about the paperwork. I can now go straight to labor & delivery with no problems. I think Kailee is getting as impaitent as me. She will kiss my stomach every night and tell Baby James that she loves him. Then in a cute pouty voice she states that she wants him to come out soon. The weather is nice now and I haven’t really taken her to the park. It is only a four block walk but walking is very uncomfortable, somedays even painful. Luckily John has taken her to more playdates with her new friend Maddie. John actually found out that Maddie will be four-years-old on Friday. He had thought she was rounghly four and a half. Guess there is a bit more age difference bewteen them than we thought. Supposely they get along (I still have yet to meet her or see them interact).
As one can see, I still have no internet. Or home phone. And knowing that James will be joining us soon, I doubt I will even get to the library every couple weeks like I have recently to at least clear out my mail. I am hoping that we can get it turned back on. Dare I say praying? It is my only connection to the outside world. I am slowly going crazy without it.
I think we are now ready for the new arrival. John got an infant car seat from a friend who no longer needs it. I have yet to see it but he says it doesn’t need cleaned. I hope he is right. I also ordered the free stroller that my health insurance was offering. Just waiting for it to come in the mail. Unfornately it doesn’t hold the infant carrier part of the car seat. Not sure how to handle walks. But we got both things so it is fine. John also got a hand-me-down playard, which is very dirty, not even sure if it is in working condition. It doesn’t have the bassinet in it. That leaves me with the dilemma of what to do with the baby downstairs when I have to set him down. Can’t lay him on the floor on a blanket cause I would worry about the dog stepping on him. I could use the swing. We will see. Other than that bottles are washed, clothes are washed and put away, bassinet is waiting and finally hospital bags are packed.
I am crossing my fingers that he comes very soon. John mentioned that he got a letter about Kailee’s kindergarden orientation, which is on May 12th. I found that a little odd cause I always thought that they had those closer to the date when school starts. I am just hoping that I am not in the hospital then so that I can go. Since we registered her in a different school distract then last year, means a new school as well. I have never been there so I want to see the classrooms and layout. Also now that she will be going all day I want to know how they handle lunch. Do the kindergarden kids have their own section of the cafeteria? Or are they with the older children? John goes with the flow of things. I, on the other hand, pay close attention to detail and want to know everything possible.
Well off I go back to being bored out of my mind and aching all over. Monday is my next appointment at the doctor’s. If I don’t go into labor by then, I am going to bring up the subject of induction. That is something I never thought I would ever have to ask about.
