I am SO thankful today is Thursday!!! Our weekend begins when we leave the office today, which will be early to catch the high school homecoming parade! I feel a bit of panic setting in, that I am not going to finish everything before Lincoln arrives. I actually slept so well last night-most likely because of the extreme lack of sleep from the previous 5 nights. I have been told that towards the end of pregnancy, you don't sleep:( I think I would have slept longer, except for the hip discomfort. All part of the joy of being pregnant:) I would take hip pain over not having this sweet one ANY DAY!!!
The day started with some nervousness. Everyday when I wake up, Lincoln and I (and the dog) enjoy some alone time on the couch. I read my bible to him and he wiggles around for at least 30 minutes. Today, there was no wiggling...I drank juice to get him moving, but nothing. After about an hour and a half, I finally felt a foot or hand thump me. That was it. It was just what I needed to reassure me that he is still ok. I still feel those insecurities from our infertility creep back in sometimes. I wish I could overcome them, but I don't think I will ever not worry about my child! He has since been on the move as normal:)
We got to church and the copier was broken. We had a lot to do today, but not much without the copier. I decided to return a few things, and do a little shopping for Ben's birthday week which starts this Sunday!!! We started celebrating the week of each others birthdays a few years ago, and it is just so much fun to give him a little something everyday:) As I was leaving, I had a contraction. Then another and another. They seemed to be about 7 or 8 minutes apart. I know this is no big deal, as they tell you not to go until they are 5 minutes apart for at least 2 hours. It still completely scared me. Not because I am not ready for Lincoln to arrive, but I thought of all the things I WANT to do before he comes...some selfish, like a haircut and maybe a pedi...but others like make sure my house is spotless before family comes and stays there while we are at the hospital (and is clean for when we come home!), get new tires, change the oil in the car...all things that need to be done before out boy arrives. Well, they stopped! No more contractions, at least for the time being! They were kind of exciting to feel, but I will be ok not to feel them again for a few days!!!
Have a blessed weekend:)
