Okay, so I have friends, great close friends that have serious things happening in their lives. Illnesses, true grievances, crises', etc... many other things that do not justify me complaining about anything in my life right now. I am well into the final days of bringing an amazing new life into this world and yet I am just down-right nasty today! Seriously feeling like I accidentally took a crabby pill this morning instead of my vitamins.
I woke up with very swollen glands in my throat and a headache, not really behind my eyes, but behind my nose - sinus issues days/weeks before going into labor? Not the best feeling right now. "that sick taste" lingers in my mouth and it worries me to think about the trials of labor...and then put a cold on top of that!
I am literally on the verge of tears at work. I just want to be done and pass on my projects, but rolling eyes on one side and me fearing that I'm dumping too much on the other side (literally speaking to my desk arrangement at work with the two people who will be covering my projects while I'm out) are not helping the situation either.
If anyone has been around my Father when he is ready to go - whether it be to the grocery store or driving to CO - you would know that he stomps his feet saying "lets go lets go lets go...!". I inherited that lovely impatience. I am patient for anything else as long as the days last, but if there is an end in sight, but it just keeps lingering somewhere out there - without a firm end, I just get so restless! It is aggrivating to me because it makes me cranky and the people around me suffer.
The baby is doing great, lots of movement and still head down - no major issues...at least not as of last Monday. I have an appointment this afternoon with the Dr so we'll be sure to post anything extreme or exciting if it comes up, but I'm not expecting anything too significant. I do, however still have 11 days until my due date is even here. One light that has been added to the end of the tunnel though is at my chiropractor last night. He had me schedule for Monday the 3rd and said "if you go into labor, don't show up, we'll know why. If you show up - we're gettin' that baby out!". Thank God for Dr D, who is very knowledgable (and has a wife that had 3 kids' labor induced through natural chiropractic reflexology)!
So - all in all, I am fine - still don't have decent pictures to post, I'll get some up soon I promise - wait till you see the "dropped" belly! I don't have any reason to be upset at life except that I was not put on this Earth by God to inspire others to procreate. The end result is great, but the journey there is not one that I will be writing inspirational books about!
Ohhh, more (and hopefully positive) news to follow after this afternoon!
