This morning I woke up to reddish CM. And a lot of cervical cramps. Making myself breakfast (toast… and a banana – I really went all-out) really brought them on harder. So I’m currently laying on my couch. I have an appointment with the midwife at 9am, thankfully, so I’ll find out soon if this is something to be concerned about. Obviously right now there is concern about pre-term labor, I’m not quite 36 weeks yet and it is too early for baby boy to come out! I’m worried that they’ll put me on bedrest, as I still have things to finish up and I haven’t trained someone at my job yet on everything I do. We also have not made it to BRU yet to buy the rest of the stuff we need. We do have the necessities, thankfully.<\/p>\n
I put up a couple of test patches of color on the bedroom wall last night, and thankfully one of them we both really like. So today I intend to buy 2 gallons of paint, and tonight hopefully Den puts up the first coat of actual paint! I’ll tell you what, when the bedroom is painted and put back together I’ll let out a huge breath. Then it’ll be ready for the co-sleeper and for Devin to come home. The rest of the house, whatever. The nursery doesn’t have to be done. The basement doesn’t have to be done. But we need a bedroom. (Sleeping on the futon last night? Yeah that was… interesting. One pregnant lady, three of her pillows, and her husband… on a futon. I’m surprized Den didn’t roll off the bed in the middle of the night.)<\/p>\n
Then of course there’s the worry of Devin just not being as active. Very mellow baby lately. I’m obviously going to mention that as well today and see what they say. I’m hoping<\/i> it’s just his position and size. I still have random fears of them going, “What? That’s not good! We need to get this baby out now!” (cue freak-out)<\/p>\n
How is it that I’ve had such a nice, confident, relaxing, happy pregnancy up until now… then suddenly I’m full of fears in the last month? Wouldn’t you think it’d be the other way around, worrying until<\/i> he’s big enough to survive just fine on the outside?? Because if he was born now he may or may not need to be in the NICU, but he’d be fine. And yet I’m freaked out anyways.<\/p>\n
He needs to bake for several more weeks, that’s all I have to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
