April Fools
38 Weeks
I've taken to carry a jar of pickles... just in case!! Not really! But I took the opportunity to have Ruthie snap these pictures on April Fools Day!! The real April Fools joke was waking up to strong contractions around 12:30 am on the very early morning of April Fools day. They were very strong and 2 minutes a part for several hours. When they hit I woke up Jon knowing that we were heading to the hospital and wanting to call my mom and have her come up to the house before it got too late. Hours later my contractions decided to calm down and I was thankful I didn't disturb anyone (except my loving husband) but by then, I was exhausted and once again wondering why I was having such strong contractions that were not ending with me holding my baby boy or girl!!
The rest of the day was typical- contractions but more spread out. The kids and I went out and walked around as much as I could handle. Thankfully the night was a lot more calm last night and even though I wouldn't say I had a great nights sleep-- I wasn't suffering through hard contractions.
My prayers is that I won't make it to my scheduled c-section but it's feeling more and more like I will stay pregnant until then. Also- my kids are really starting to fall a part emotionally as this pregnancy drags on. I think they're feeling the affects of a mommy who's miserable and the only way to react to that is to lose control. Brayden is throwing little tantrums left and right and fusses about anything that doesn't go exactly his way. Ruthie is talking back more and more lately- and I know she's just frustrated but I also expect respect and it's hard to hear my sweet girl talk to me so disrespectfully at times. So yes, prayers are greatly appreciated that this little boy or girl comes soon!! Very soon!!
