:ELV's to everyone who needs them (and that sounds like several of us today-- you go, mamas!)
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all you north of our border mamas! It's so nice to think that my favorite holiday is taking place with other families elsewhere today.
JMarie- it's funny how a change of scene makes you feel different, huh? Also, I'm totally with you on the heartburn from the seemingly most mild of foods. For me, it was apples--WTH?
Babycakes- Of course you and Nora are in our thoughts. We are hoping for the best for you.
PW- I hear you on the fact that it's getting harder to find things to do, and I'm 3 weeks behind you. GL, mama!
Skrimpy- You are right. That is a lot to ask. I would not feel comfortable with my only mode of transport being away from us for that length of time. Is there a friend whose extra car you could borrow? Or, I really like your suggestion about you all driving her around, especially b/c of the possibility of unfamiliar driving conditions-- yikes!
AAM: 39 weeks today! This was to be my c-section day with my OB, so it feels good to just be hanging out instead! I'm in a much more positive space today emotionally, so hopefully today continues to be that way. DH and I have four hours together this morning while DD is at school, so hopefully he won't be a working maniac during that time and perhaps we can snuggle a little and reconnect. Or, we can make some decisions about bath fixtures for our new space. That'd be okay too, then the drywall will be one step closer. Last night he said that we'd likely be in before school starts next year, but that it won't be all done. I like the honesty, but it was a bit like a punch in the gut too.
It's a small victory, but I was able to sleep on both sides last night (instead of left side in bed, then sleeping on the couch and rotating every two hours.) I feel much more rested. The odd thing is that my belly feels much wider this morning. I'm trying to think positively and suspect that this LO changed position during the night. He's been head down for so long.
I don't know whether I mentioned my maternity photo shoot. It went well on Friday, and now I just have to weed down the pictures and get some printed. Some of my favs have the diffuser in odd spots, so we'll have to see. The good thing is that they are all on my computer, so I have control. The problem? I'm really bad about printing pictures.
Today is: food prep, helping DH, more naps, I hope, and I'm starting to think that I'll not be able to go into labor until my bank statment arrives. It is 8 days "overdue." Not the kind of confidence you want to have in a bank in this financial climate, huh?
