Playing Catch Up

It's been forever since I last blogged.

The last posts were about the puppies, two of which are now at happy homes and one that now belongs to my younger brother who is moving out of my parents' home this weekend to his own place. Big deal around here!

Other things have happened this month that really kept me from posting much. We lost a very dear friend, in fact it was the very friend that married us a year ago. It was horrible. We are still coping with that loss.

We also sort of celebrated our one year anniversary. Honestly after putting our friend to rest the day before the anniversary we were not really feeling it. Not to mention I am huge and pregnant and thus we didn't get overly excited about it. We are happy to have made it a year and I love him more than ever but we didn't need to make a huge deal about it.

In pregnant news I have been having contractions for over a week now. Last Wednesday was the most intense and painful. I actually went into labor and delivery thinking that this was it, but since I was only 36 weeks they said they would not help me along and after two hours and not dilating past a 3 they sent me home. I spent the rest of the night in intense pain but the next morning things finally died down and I slept out of pure exhaustion I think....

Now here we are almost a week later and I still have contractions every fifteen to twenty minutes. It  is uncomfortable and really frustrating. I am so ready to hold my baby girl in my arms!

Today is another doctor appointment and hopefully they will have good news for me. If not then I am going back to work tomorrow, contractions or no contractions, it seems pointless to just sit around waiting. I want my time off to be spent with the baby!

I am a nervous wreck about it however. Last Wednesday was awful and my contractions were less than two minutes apart. Pain like I have never ever known before.....yet they did not help me at all....actually the nurses made me feel like I was ruining their night, I was a complete inconvenience to them....which really being a new mom made me feel pretty awful. I was going to say something but I was scared they would be even worse and I really want help having this baby! I get it is just a job to them but still....a little bedside manner goes a long way....

So that is a quick little catch up, hopefully I will have more to write about later after the doctor and maybe even a little more info on Baby K! I keep wanting to write a post about her name and all that but I am saving it for when she actually arrives!

Cross your fingers that today is the day everyone! I want to meet my baby!!!!
