I have pretty much cleaned our whole house, done most of the laundry, cooked and made some extra food. It's just a waiting game now. In the last 3 days, I have walked almost 9 miles (8.5) and tried everything hot or spicy.
Some days are just really nice and I appreciate the wait. And then other days, like today, I am just ready for his debut. And getting my body back somewhat. And no more upset stomach, cankles, weird body things, etc.
Even though so many people say enjoy this time -- a part of me wants to say, "Hello!" I have been. For like 10 months or 280-plus days. It's like when your in college in people say, "enjoy this time, it's the best time of your lives" and your broke, eating ramen noodles, putting .90 in your car for gas (true story-ask my sister, Jessie) and surviving on four hours of sleep with extracurriculars and studying.
Looking back, yes, it's great and a wonderful time. But, it's also hard.
Here's a quick 40/41 week rundown.
Cravings: Celery (weird), hot chocolate, muffins with blueberry or choc chip, steak and fruit. And fresh green beans. And maybe buffalo sauce. Mmm.
Weight: rounded off around 26/27.
Exercise: Walking and wall pushups and resistance training. I am really enjoying my 3 mile walks at night while Brandon is putting the girls to bed. It's beautiful on our walking trail and I feel like I come back refreshed and somewhat tired. It's great for insomnia.
We had a great shower thrown for us by the Shmidt side last month. We had a yummy potluck with games for the kids that Mindy coordinated. So nice seeing Poppa and Grammy Shmidt and spending time with our family. Emily was also being honored as she is due in June! Brandon's parents were with us and we had a great weekend capped off with a yum lunch at City BBQ.
