Well I am still pregnant, and not in labor. It appears that I am going to be visited by a few stretches of pre-labor contractions. I’m not upset to still be pregnant, but I can also see how this on-again off-again thing could really wear me out mentally.<\/p>\n
The days are starting to blend together already, and it’s only my first week not working. I’d forgotten how unstructured life is – and how boring. Daytime TV sucks, so I don’t even bother turning it on. I can only sit at the computer for so long before my back starts getting sore. I’m trying my hardest not to recline. So that pretty much leaves cleaning\/chores and sleeping. Today was a sleeping day. Don’t get me wrong, it feels good to just nap because I feel like it. But it also makes me feel like an utter slug. I finally forced myself to get up and take a shower to wake up… but then I was bored again. It was raining today so I couldn’t even go fiddle with the garden or anything. Sigh. If this state of boredom was going to continue I’d say I need a hobby… but hopefully Kate will be here soon to occupy me!<\/p>\n
On the other side of things, as boring as it is to not work, when I am contracting or feeling simply exhausted it is really<\/i> nice to be able to just putz around my house, sleep, and take care of myself. When I do go into labor I want to be here, where I’m comfortable, in my own little nest.<\/p>\n
I’m going to have to come up with more outings for myself…. just one thing a day that I can set my mind to, get out of the house. I appreciate being busy…. just not so busy that I push myself too far. (I just have to make sure that “keeping busy” does not translate into “shopping”!)<\/p>\n
I think I am certainly getting closer to that point of being ready and eager to give birth, to see my daughter, have this phase over with. I really can’t believe I’m only 6 days away from my due date. I feel like holy shit, I made it.<\/i> I made it to the end<\/i>… to the point where people are calling to make sure you haven’t gone into labor, when you’re fully prepped and just sitting back waiting. When your belly is big and round and makes people in stores eye you nervously. It’s amazing. It’s so real. And now… Now I’m getting ready for the really crazy part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
