I went in yesterday with headaches, upper abdominal pain, slight blurred vision, and swelling (not more than normal). It turns out I was just dehydrated and wasn’t eating enough. Everything is good, and it doesn’t look like we’ll have an induction tomorrow. That’s OK with me, I’m now aiming for the 9th, the day after Grandma arrives, and just giving little Joey more time to cook. We got home lastnight just in time to ring in the new year after re-tucking in the boys, and go to sleep. A far cry from our original plans of making a big fun feast and celebrating with the boys, and going to bed probably around 11:15. They had a great time at John and Pamela’s though, Thanks again guys!
I’m now full term… I’m 37 weeks today. Yay! What a crazy ride the past 8 months have been. I had some good contractions today, but they went away as soon as I lay down and took a nap. It’s a little sad when I need my afternoon nap more than my three year old!
Though Aiden did crash at about 6:30, he went to bed, so I think he thought it was bed time and crazy old Mom and Dad forgot, or something. I woke him right back up as soon as I realized that he was down, to keep his schedule since bed time was in an hour and a half, and Dad was fixing dinner, which I’m sure he wanted some of… He was none to pleased, but I gave him a piece of chocolate, and the world was right. If only I could always do that, heehe!
Speaking of kids thinking their parents forget things, Michael said something funny to me yesterday morning, after we got Dad off to work and got home and got settled for the day he said to me “Mom you forgot about my school! I’m supposed to go to school in the mornings!” Hahaha! I explained to him vacation and that I’m sure he’s not missing school, and I’m watching the calender and going to get him right back as soon as it’s time. As it turns out, I was telling my Mom about his little funny, and she said he’d told her the same thing a few days ago on the phone. I think he’s ready to go back. Hahaha! Oh man I love my kids.
