Staying Home


I wish I was finding more time to write, but I am now officially done with work, so hopefully I will. I have had 4 wonderful days home with Braelyn and I couldn't be happier about that. It is so nice to not be rushed and to be able to do some fun things during the day. She talks incessantly, and I only understand about 50 % of what she is trying to say. She loves to tell everyone Hi, Bye and Thank you. Her new favorite game is to scare me, and sometimes she does a pretty good job and actually getting me. She still asks for Munga's house everyday, but we've seen them everyday so she has been spoiled. She wants to spend all her time at the playground or outside playing in water. At this point I just try to keep up with her. She has been in really good spirits and she is so patient with all the changes going on in her world. She really just wants to be a part of the party, and then she is happy. I get a little sad when I think about having to divide my attention from her, I truly am so enthralled with what she does and how quickly she is growing. I have just watched her sleep this week, and remembered when she was first born. She is beautiful and she really jsut wants to have fun and be happy, and wants everyone around her to be happy. She is such a blessing to me.
I went to the doctors yesterday and was not excited after my dissapointing visit last time. My induction was scheduled the Friday before Memorial Day but that conflicted with plans so I asked that it be moved up 2 days and the nurse told me that they would not do that because I would not be 39 weeks, so I had to schedule it the 27th, 4 days later! I was upset because I am nervous about this baby being bigger like Brae was and I did not want any longer. I was also frusterated with myself, because I know it is better to wait to have the baby as long as possible. I wish I was tougher, but I have a difficult time being pregnant. So going into to the appt I was pretty down trodden, I had been to the hospital 4 days before on a Saturday because I had an infection and when the nurse checked me I was closed at 0 cm. But when Dr. Watabe checked me I was 2.5 cm and 70% effaced! I was pretty elated because that meant the baby was getting ready and that I probably wouldn't have wait for that induction. I also talked to the doctor about my back pain. I did want to, because I did not think there was wanything he could do, but Kevin had insisted that I bring it up. It has been getting more severe and sometimes I can't put any weight on my leg, or I have difficulty stading up by myself. The physical therpait Kevin works for, said I am just too loose in my hips and too pregnant to be able to do much more excercises with it. When I told the doctor, he agreed that there is not much to do at this point, but that it is enough of a reason to be able to induce me, especcially since I was satrting to dilate. He said if it is still bothering at next weeks visit we will just do that! I was really happy to hear that, and to feel like he understood what I was going through. It was a boost that I really needed, just knowing the end is in sight.
Kevin had expressed to me before that he would be so busy this semester, but I have still felt like I have to fit the pregnancy in around his schedule, so I am ready to be a little busier with a newborn, so I won't feel like I am bothering him so much. I just wish we could get our condo taken care of. We have 2 walk-thrus tommorrow. Yea!
