week 37

Well it’s getting close. It’s about time. Very scary and very exciting all at the same time. I know I will be sad to never be pregnant again but right now I am very much looking forward to it. Pregnancy is very exciting and very amazing but when you have 2 little ones at home counting on you it’s just down right hard. Bending over is nearly impossible and every way around it is hard and uncomfortable. When you are pregnant with your first it’s just a matter of “how am I going to get my shoes on?” But with your 3rd, it’s totally different. I have to bend constantly either to take care of the girls or to keep the house in some sort of order. It’s just hard. The worst is that cuddling is so hard right now too. I can manage one pretty well but of course the other wants to join and then someone is leaning on the belly and that is painful. It’s sad. I love cuddling with them more than anything. We manage and it’s nice to have all three of my kids with me though!!! Man I have been a hormonal mess too. Worse than ever before. I had another crying night last night. I will spare you the details but needless to say it had to do with a biting incident (Av bit C?!?!?!?) and J having another evening work commitment come up at the last minute (on top of a board meeting tonight). The burpy problem at night has continued as well. To the point it takes me almost 2 hours to get comfortable in bed after sitting up countless times to let the air out. This morning Camille woke both J and I up at 6. Although she went back to sleep we didn’t. We lay there for an hour enjoying E’s movements together. It was pretty special. The light is at the end of the tunnel. I had a “check” today. I am 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. So it starts!
