7 Quick Takes

Hosted @ http://www.conversiondiary.com

1. So evidently after 38 weeks the clocks stop ticking & just move in sssssllllllooooowwwww motion. :-)  When I didn't think I could get bigger, I got bigger.  Just call me master of the waddle ...and a crane/forklift would be mighty handy for helping me us these days. Oh, blessed maternity!!

2. So, from the wisdom of other moms, I have learned that previous pregnancies are not the best predictors of when a labor will start or how it might progress.  In reflecting back, Rosie was due on 9/12.  On 8/31 my fluid began to leak.  She was delivered on 9/4.  (I did not realize I was leaking fluid until 9/2 & it was confirmed on 9/3).  The game changer between pregnancies was pertussis.  I suffered through my last trimester & there is a good chance all the coughing & vomiting weakened the sack.  So..who knows what things would have been like otherwise.  Who knows what lies ahead.  It is this unknown that makes us most crazy.  Who is good at waiting?  It must be a virtue.

3. I certainly feel like a watched pot right about now.  

4. Lets talk other kids.  They love school.  I am actually super pumped that Augie has this outlet right now.  He tells me far more about his time @ pk3 than I get from Rosie in K.  So far the  report from the teacher is positive.  It is amazing to watch them come from behind & do well.  Even Catie is doing well in therapy.  I am grateful she is overall an easier toddler than her brother was.

5. Getting the hang of early school mornings and the predictability of our weeks' schedule.  Glad to have a little normalcy before baby shakes us up.  

6. Netflix recommendation: In Plain Sight is what I have been killing time with lately.  There are several seasons a available so enough to keep me busy for a bit.  If not watching that, I am trying to listen to hypnobabies (not so much on board yet...it feels a little new agey) or trying to read a little Ina May birth prep.
