Well we have an induction scheduled for Monday morning at 6:30 AM for medical reasons, if she doesn't come before then. That is only 5 days away!! I've been getting some mild contractions the past few days but nothing severe enough to call the doctor. Some in my back and pelvis area, but they always tend to subside after a short while. They are intense though..I can see now that this could get pretty uncomfortable. I am still sleeping pretty well...which will only last for 5 more days max before I'm awake at all hours of the night feeding, burping, changing, soothing...all well worth it but I am not a fun person to be around when I don't get my sleep! My mom is going to be staying with us and helping out for a little bit so that should make things a little easier, but there are just some things she can't help with....like breastfeeding!
I am getting pretty nervous about this whole delivery thing and it all going smoothly. I really don't want to end up having a c-section. Thad may be more nervous than I am about all of this...he thinks he is going to be scarred for life after seeing it all go down. I prefer just to not even think about it really. I figure it's a very short time period in the whole realm of things and it's inevitable that it's happening so I mine as well just not think about it, do it and be done with it...for now!
Thad started his new job a couple of weeks ago and it's going really well. For a minute we thought he was going to have to go to a training conf in Oakland while I was still in the hospital, the day after the birth! But then we found out he can do it the following week instead, and that he also gets 1 week of paid paternity leave to boot! That was EXCELLENT news! Being a former tennis pro, he is not very familiar with vacation time or paid leave of any kind, so he is really starting to like this whole "benefits" thing and I am too!
So, what to do for our last weekend alone assuming I don't go into labor before then is the big question. Any suggestions? I can't do much but we really want to enjoy the peace & quiet and anticipation as much as possible this weekend. Cali will be staying at my parents house while we're at the hospital so we will be dropping her off Sunday night and will actually have one night of just me & Thad for pretty much the last time ever!
Okay well probably the next time I write I will be a mommy and we will have pics of lily to share too! So crazy!!! I can't wait to meet my little girl! :)
What will happen to my ultrasound addiction? Should I just still go get ultrasounds of an empty uterus? That would be a bit unhealthy...but I will miss my millions of ultrasounds dearly!
About Me
- Jenni
- SF Bay Area, California, United States
- My name is Jen and I dabble in a few different things like real estate but mostly, I'm a stay at home mom with 3 girls and a husband that loves to eat. So much so that I gained 25 pounds when I started dating him in college. I have so many personal & family recipes that I've been wanting to start documenting for my daughters to have one day, so I decided to start this blog for them. It's been a super fun way to organize my recipes and share them at the same time...while giving me great motivation to search for new recipes to make and share! I love using fresh ingredients, organic & local whenever possible, and I like to experiment with different tastes and ethnicities. I try to keep my recipes healthy & packed with flavor!
