39 weeks today. So much for coming early like I thought and like the doctor thought. The whole, "I wouldn't be surprised if I see you in a week or so" hasn't so much happened. I know that it is good to wait the whole 40 weeks but there is still some discrepancy as to exactly how far a long I really am. So while next Monday marks 40 weeks, it was the doctor's prediction based on the size of the baby at the time of my 10 week ultrasound. Who knows!
I have been experiencing some pelvic pains-some days are much worse than others. I thought it was just muscle soreness from playing tennis a few times but after the last time I played last Wednesday, the pain hasn't gone away and in some cases is worse. Yesterday, for example, I could barely walk during parts of the day and just standing up or trying to stand up was extremely painful. Nothing that I can do about it though except muscle through it and potentially take some Tylenol if I feel like it. My nurse said to not be afraid about going to the Labor and Delivery Unit and if nothing's wrong, they'll just send me home. Well that really sounds like an annoyance. And I don't know what constitutes as enough pain or unusual pain to justify a trip to the hospital, so that wasn't really helpful.
I did go to work today, mostly because I am able to sit enough that the pain wouldn't bother me as much. However, my sleep has been so interrupted by bathroom breaks or just being so warm in the middle of the night that I am about ready to lie down and take a nap while the kids watch their movie. Oh well. Several of the teachers were suprised to see me today and frankly, I didn't think that I'd be back either! I do know that this is for sure my last week since the old assistant will be back next Monday.
We did have a really nice Spring Break, I tired my best to relax as much as I could but we are both really bad at relaxing and it was the perfect time to get some errands done! The weather turned really nice on about Thursday or Friday so it was great to have some sun and 70 degrees! Although it makes it difficult when I really want to be doing things and I really need to be taking it easy. My grandparents ended up coming out after all which has been really nice and very helpful especially since I've really started to lose a lot of my mobility. And mom and Ali come tomorrow which will be fun! They were hoping that Finn would be here, but who knows, he might arrive while they're here. In the meantime, it will be nice to have some more help and a distraction. I'm suprised that this would be a time I'd need more help and support so I am very thankful to be getting some. Brett has been great but he has a lot on his shoulders with school, track, starting up again at the golf course, and of course keeping up around the house with just every day life.
Easter was lovely yesterday. The music in mass was beuatiful and the choir director gave me a big hug when he saw me-I haven't been going to choir since February, just too much of a commitment-so that was nice. We had a great brunch afterwards and I think I ate a record amount of food-it was great. We all took naps and read in the sun on our porch-even Katara got to go outside under close supervision (we don't have a nice deck like at our old place. This one opens up to the stairs which are very intriguing for a curious kitty) but she is a surprisingly goos listener and understands the word "no"-such a smarty :).
Really excited that it is April! One of my favorite months! Walking down the stairs today I realized I have been so caught up with the arrival of Finn that I almost forgot my birthday was coming up. I mean I knew it was coming soon but now it's only 2 weeks away! I'm going to be so old! Haha, just kidding. But 26 does seem old, I don't know why. And speaking of birthdays, it's been fun having this calendar with due date guesses-I'm really excited to see who wins, I have a fun prize in mind! Not sure how soon the winner will receive it, but whoever it is, I'm pretty sure they'll like it :)
