Yes, it's very exciting, Leos. I hope you can relax and get into a groove with the contractions.
Shay, I am so glad you baby has turned.
As far as hot weather goes, well, it's winter here. :LOL It doesn't snow here though, so it's nothing major. Well, nothing major other than the nipple vasospasms I'm dealing with. We can't afford to turn all the heaters on, but if I get the slightest bit cold-- OUCH! My house is just too cool inside, too. It can be warm outside, but inside, it's cold. Well, at least we didn't need ac during the summer, but that was months ago and I've forgotten about it.
Shanana - I'm glad to hear your bp and swelling are under control.
Thanks for reminding me I need to make nettle tea. I ran out of RRL, but still have a bunch of nettles to use up.darsmama - Congrats on your dh's new job. Sorry you have to live in a messy place, but you gotta do what you gotta, right?
cheeseRjedi, I agree with everyone else, call you midwife about the hand-thing. I hope it feels better soon.
Nothing else going on here. I just cut out fabric to make my dd a new Shabbos suit. I need to measure her to decide how long the skirt should be, but she's out with dh looking at cars. We are going to get a car! YEAH! Living in suburbia without a car just doesn't work. I'm housebound all the time. There's public transport, which I would prefer to use, but it just doesn't work when one needs to buy 15 bags of groceries, schlep dd, etc. If there as a market close enough that I could make a quicker trip I'd try it, but when it takes an hour to get to the market, and I have to transfer buses twice just to buy food... I think we're getting a minivan-type vehicle. We'd like a 3rd child in the next few years, so we figure we'll need the space soon enough. I hope dh gets a good deal. After we get the car, I will buy dd a new car seat. I plan to use dd's old one for the new baby.
: Good for you on not getting the pitocin. That would have made it extra painful anyway. Not good. It shouldn't be long, right?
. these last couple weeks are really getting to me. i feel like i can't handle it anymore. so my b/f sees me and tries to console me for a while, telling me that baby's not done yet and only needs a little more time in there. so after i calmed down i sat in the tub for an hour and a half just thinkin things over. i'll be so glad when this little one decides they're ready...
