Okay, okay, okay
I am due two weeks from today!
Up until this point I haven't thought much about giving birth to this new baby!
I haven't brought up baby clothes. I haven't packed any bags, I haven't made any plans, I just haven't thought much about it! People keep asking if I'm counting down the days, nope... it still feels really far away. I'm planning on going right up to, if not past my due date (they seem to be coming later and bigger!)
I am now in a different state of mind!
Friday night I went to the Palmyra Temple with two of my girlfriends (Kari and Molly). I SO loved it! We had such great visits there and back, and it was fabulous sitting in such a special place with two gals that I *heart* so much.
I told them on the way down that I'd been having thoughts all day about going into labor on this trip, which would be bad since Palmyra is 1.5 hours away! How awful would it be to not have Matt there!!! Anyway, we laughed about it, then laughed about it again when the temple workers let me know they aren't suited to deliver a baby!
While we were sitting, waiting to get started I went ahead and busted out a few contractions! My heart started pounding! Now, I've delivered 3 children... I deliver w/o pain meds so I feel everything from A to Z, I know my body and it's contractions! I wasn't too worried because they weren't 'I'm in labor contractions', but still they were good contractions, and again, I haven't been expecting them! I calmed right down when the session started. I had contractions the whole time, as well as the whole drive home.
As I dropped everyone off and headed home I PRAYED that I would not be delivering anytime soon! I am not prepared in any way, shape or form! My family is totally ill! I'm now ill. Now would NOT be a good time! Who prays for such a thing at the very end of a pregnancy? ME!
Needless to say, I felt a little jolt that night. As it has been with this whole pregnancy, whether I've thought about it or not, whether I'm 'ready' or not, it's happening, he's coming! I'd best make the adjustments needed and GET ready!
