Just a quickie...

This has been a busy weekend! The "camper thing" arrived early on Saturday morning, and it's blocked up and just in need of a good ol' fashioned leveling, which I think John is going to do today. Then, we can start moving things into it. Very soon, I'll have that sewing room, den, guest bedroom! YEAH! It's ugly as all get-out on the outside, but we have some T-11 in mind for that, and it's gonna be an "easy do" for the old man, who just thrives on all that DIY stuff. Me too, but I just can't do much while I am still carrying "the Titan princess"!

Speaking of this little beauty, we went shopping yesterday, and we got her a nice travel system -- hey, this girl NEEDS some serious leg room -- all she has to do is "out" her darling little self, and then she can kick and thump around all she wants. Right now, though, I feel like I am carrying a rebellious cantankerous kangaroo! It's been a rough few days: ever since Wednesday last week! I woke up on Wednesday, and I was SO FULL OF ENERGY, I was absolutely certain it was time to have a baby. I packed her little diaper bag, and I called my doctor's office, and I begged, whined, pleaded, etc to see if I could convince them to induce me -- all to no avail. While I was waiting on their call, I went to town and shopped until I literally dropped (for two days). I did way, way, way, too much... then, I went and did the same thing again, yesterday. They say if contractions have started, to help bring the baby on, walk, walk, walk.... well, Sprout is comfy in there, and she is not about to be bothered.

Last night, I barely ----- OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Ok, just now, this very moment, I had a massively painful contraction... 11:52 a.m. June 17th. Sprout is TOYING with me...

But, as I started to say before she thumped me good... is that I barely slept last night. I got more rest from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. than I did the whole night long. I just can't get comfy in any position -- at all.

We go see the doc again Tuesday at 10:15, and we will have another ultrasound to see just how big she is. My only consolation is that doc says he doesn't want her getting too big because he doesn't want to have to do a C-section unless it is absolutely medically necessary.

Gosh, me too. I know that healing time and everything else is so much faster with a vaginal birth.

Wish us luck! Today, we're playing Solid Gold Oldies for her, and she is having fun in there... anything to encourage her to "come out and play"...

Yes, momma is NOT above playing her old Twisted Sister stuff, either....
