So right on.<br /><br />I've been feeling very nostalgic lately about my pregnancy, recalling how this time last year we were starting to work on the nursery and I was just beginning to be all big and bouncy. But in reality, at the time, the whole thing was truly terrifying, uncomfortable, exhausting, and I really could not believe there would be a real live baby coming home with us until I held him in my arms.<br /><br />I still get kinda annoyed when I'm around pregnant ladies who are all confident and perky about things. <br /><br />Anyway, hang in there! I'll be thinking of you.peesticksandstoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194814462876179308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-40719655400948666222010-03-02T11:34:54.937-08:002010-03-02T11:34:54.937-08:00Thinking of you today, Lorraine!Thinking of you today, Lorraine!Jules a.k.a.

Instead I settled for painting and cork contac paper?-ing my pantry today. Clearly, I have issues.<br /><br />I'm sorry you are still couch-bound and frustrated and worried. This so should be a time of folding little onesies and awing over those tiny diapers.

I suspect you are right about the bed rest (couch rest?) getting to you.<br /><br />Your fluid level was up pretty high, so I guess you've got a slow leak going on? We are so close to the end...that baby has just GOT to hang in there for you. Part of me wants to say "Please, just get the C-section" because I'm a bit afraid for you. But it sounds like your docs are all over this and you are prepared and so I just wish you the best. You're absolutely right about the recovery time for the C-section and as long as you have enough fluid, there's no reason to think you can't have a natural birth.<br /><br />But the whole "varnishy smells and drooping pants" comment cracked me up! Even on bed rest, your sense of humor is intact!<br /><br />Okay, take care of that baby, breathe, hang on to that fluid and count the days!Best When Used Byhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252417951291793892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-77337742037074415982010-03-01T11:19:27.407-08:002010-03-01T11:19:27.407-08:00I'm sorry you're down!

Doesn't your daughter have some problem you could focus on? No need to dump all concerns on the "one" thing. Spread the worry wealth!<br /><br />I guess you've probably already watched re-runs of all the shows you like? <br /><br />I hope it's nice there.

A couple of snow days stuck inside bored me to tears, so I imagine weeks of it would be rough. I'm so hoping that's not in my future.<br /><br />Pregnancy is definitely hard, I completely agree with you. And the wondering what will go awry is disconcerting, yet being realistic.<br /><br />This little guy will be fine though. You've made it so far. I hope that you can finish out your pregnancy without too much worry. <br /><br />More couch shopping? :)Paula Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545620300368378897noreply@blogger.com
