Well, after finding out yesterday I was dilated AND reading Nikki's blog (see the link in the lower right column--she creates and sells Italian Charm bracelets if there are any interested buyers out there!), I discovered I'm getting closer to meeting this baby than I thought two days ago. Just 1 year yesterday Claire Kachelmyer was born and Nikki was recalling her last days before she went into labor with her. I've noticed SOME of the same things...
I did laundry every day this week (somehow I'm finding it somewhere...) including baby clothes, bedding, our our clothes and towels. I've vacuumed TWICE (and this was time two and three since we moved here two months ago) this WEEK. The kitchen has been staying the cleanest regularily since we moved in (and it's still not CLEAN clean, but it's clean). The cats get brushed three times daily (and that still doesn't seem to be enough for Eggo...that boy is HAIRY SHEDDING right now). The garbage and recycling gets collected and taken out as often as I can move around enough to do it. The one thing that hasn't happened yet is this "burst of energy" to get more of this stuff done. Maybe the fact that I'm not watching TV from 8am-11pm almost non-stop daily anymore is my burst of energy?
The baby movement changes between kicking and what I believe are Braxton Hicks (as I've increased my water intake and what I've been interpretting as baby movement has settled).
Grandma Judy called last night to see how things were going. She has vacation days to burn and may be coming out in mid-December for a visit, prior to the holidays, to do some tourist things and get some quality time with their Granddaughter. Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Olinger are in China with a tourist group. Great-Aunt Carol and Great-Uncle Kevin may be coming to town next weekend and would be more than excited to be the first in both families to meet our bundle of joy!
The rest of our Target order arrived from UPS today (and the UPS people have been AWESOME about bringing the boxes inside for me, I give them props for that!!) so the nursury should be completed soon. Unfortunately, it means there's more cardboard in the house, but it also means that we have more baby stuff in the house!
=ope all is well with everyone! Don't forget to leave your comments below...or read what others have to say! Time to be immersed in the world of Salem...
