Wow, it has been a very long time since I wrote a blog... sorry about that! I have just been so busy with work stuff and trying to get my maternity leave all in order that I haven't had much time to blog. The good news is that 3 weeks from today--February 10th--will be my last day of work until then end of April or early May, we aren't exactly sure yet. The bad news is that my life has suddenly filled up with things to do so I don't have a lot of free time between now and then. I pretty much don't have any weekends free until Valentine's Day so if Malea comes early then that means that this last weekend was my last weekend of freedom. I really do hope that she comes early but that's also kind of sad thinking that I don't have anymore weekends!!! I can't believe how much my life is about to change. The funny thing is that I think I have prepared myself but I know that I really have NO CLUE what I'm really in for!
As far as baby news goes, I have been having quite a few Braxton Hicks contractions lately and even a few real ones. According to my doctor, from what I told him, he's pretty sure that I have already lost my plug (I won't say the real term since it's kind of gross). It's kind of exciting knowing that we are so close to the end but it's also very nerve racking. On Thursday we get to go in for our next, and final, sonogram to make sure that Malea is positioned correctly for the birth process. Even as I write that it's hard to believe that she's really coming so soon! I am really looking forward to my showers this weekend because I haven't had any showers yet so it will be fun to get the rest of what we need--hopefully--and then we will be totally prepared for her arrival. Other than the shower gifts I've actually been prepared for weeks. Her room is finished, the hospital bags are packed and in the car, the phone number lists have been assigned to all the right people, and I have been practicing my relaxation method. So for now all we can do is wait...and walk... and have sex to try to motivate her to come out. Come February it's going to be a walking and having "sexy time" marathon here at the Moseley's! :)
Well I guess that's about it for what's going on with me. Oh I guess there's one more thing, I have to say that even though I'm TOTALLY bummed that the Patriots didn't make it to the playoffs I am VERY excited for Matt's Steelers who will be playing in the Super Bowl on February 1st. GO STEELERS!!!
Ok, I love how you referenced the fact that you were going to be having sex a lot at two different times in your blog post. :) You crack me up. It kills me that i am not there with you for this exciting time Anna!!! I feel I am missing out on so much! I can't wait to get the call that you are in labor and then get the call that she was born and then see her first pictures! Man, well, I just wanted to express that to you. Love you so much friend!
ReplyDeleteOh my word! You are very close. I'm excited for you guys. I think you just knowing that you can never be fully prepared is being prepared enough. If that makes sense! I'm sure you'll have everything you need to be ready for your little girl. Can't wait to meet her.
ReplyDeleteWe walked several miles a day and had plenty of our own "sexy times" during that last month before Marty was born. Didn't help at all--I still had to be induced. I guess for me, though, it helped to feel like I was doing SOMETHING to encourage things along. So enjoy those fun activities, and be that couple that proves it can work!
ReplyDeletethanks for not saying mucus plug. it makes me want to vomit. :)
ReplyDeleteyea for maternity leave!!!!
