Eviction Notice!

Dear Baby Girl,

You have been hereby server your EVICTION NOTICE! You have three weeks to vacate my womb. Or you will be forcibly removed! (Not really, I don't believe in being induced for non medical issues) Please regard this as your final notice!

Sincerely,

Your very tired, cranky, swelling mother


I am now 37 weeks, and considered full term! I see my midwife this Friday. I'm hoping she'll check me. But I'm not expecting much.

Did I mention I hate the last few weeks of pregnancy? I'm huge. There is a baby in my ribs all the time. I'm waking up swollen now. Sleeping is hard. I can barely breathe. I'm tired. My clothes don't fit. I pee all the time. And just doing the simplest things, wear me out.

But it's all worth it in the end. I just not very patient on waiting to that end.

And even though this is number six, labor still scares me. I know what I'm getting myself into. I know how much it's going to hurt. I told this to Steve the other day. He said to remember how nice it was to get in the tub and relax.

I'm planning on doing a water birth. That means, I'll be in water for most of the time. It was relaxing and I barely felt the contractions. It also sped up my labor. So, maybe I won't have a 12+ hour labor with this one! That would be nice!

I'm just done being pregnant. I feel like this pregnancy has gone pretty slow. Like as slow as the first time. Maybe it's because I'm really want this little girl and a small part of me doesn't believe she is a she. I won't be sure until I see her girl parts.

Either way, I'm going to try and not be so grumpy. To focus on enjoying my kids before all my attention is on that little girl. To be happy that I'm healthy and things are going well, so far, in this pregnancy. I'm very lucky to be able to have this many kids, and to be healthy throughout my pregnancy.

Now, where is mama's chocolate? I need a pick me up, before I pick up the mess my "lovely" kids have made!
