Checkin in on Shauna

Shauna or anyone who knows her ....

Has Drew made his all star appearance yet? If not how are you feeling??

Thinking about you!

Vanessa

I'm here Vanessa. Thanks for checking in.

No Drew yet. I went to the docs again on Friday - he said it's all a waiting game now. SO firmly believes that my water is going to break tonight and he will be born tomorrow morning. I think he's wrong. Since my trip to the docs last week, I haven't had anything. No BH contractions, no back pain, no groin pain - nothing. So he must be nestled and comfy right in place.

How are you feeling? You must be ready for your lil girl to come too!

More than ready, it wouldn't be as bad if I didn't have a 15 month old who wants to play outside and run around. And I can't punish her because I dont feel like doing anything so I suck it up and get miserable, swollen and sweaty for her to be able to play outside. I can't sleep but an hour at a time, then when I do move I have to sit in place for a few minutes to either catch my breath or get unstiff. But all worth it in the end, I hope my water breaks tonight....hell right now is good for me! LOL

When does your hubby come home? Isn't he in the navy and deployed right now? Maybe the baby is waiting for him to get here to experience her arrival too!

He is scheduled to come home August 5th. I am due August 9th, I would love for him to be here for the birth, he missed our first by 10 minutes. I just need to be grateful for all I have and stop complaining about my uncomfort, I know it goes away I am just a whiner. How are you feeling these days?

Ahh that's it then! She wants Daddy there so he can experience it too! You are so allowed to whine! You are over 8 months pregnant and have a toddler AND are on your own! Whine away! Do you have family or friends nearby maybe someone can take Nylah in the afternoon to help you out a bit?

I am doing good thanks :) waiting for AF to show up the beginning of the month (hopefully!) so we can get back to business! thanks for asking

Yes my mom and dad live on the same street (PIA) sometimes but I love them and they are extremely helpful. Whenever I have an appt. my mom will pick Nylah up from daycare and usually keep her the evening until bedtime (big help!!). I want to get into some business - if you know what I mean but that kind of cant happen when he's not here. TMI- I am a very hormonal pregnant woman unline other women its in a good way, DH says he wants to keep me 5 months pregnant forever (my peek of naughty) LOL sorry about TMI...I'm feeling fiesty today.

You are totally allowed to whine. I believe all pregnant women are. The way our body and emotions and energy and EVERYTHING changes, we are completely allowed to be however we want. So whine away!

I must admit I have had a super easy pregnancy - granted I don't have a 15 month old - I have a 10 year old who is so helpful it gets on my nerves (that's my pregnancy hormones, because normally I love it when she wants to help.)

Not long now and you'll be done and hubby will home and things will be a lot easier!
