Baking

So what else do you do when you're past your due date and *nobody* will let you do any home renovations?

I guess you keep baking.

Yesterday I made two lemon loaves and a double batch of lemon honey.



I'm sure getting fat will help my pregnancy.
*eyeroll*

Can't Sleep

It's 3.30am.
I'm stressed out about stuff.
I think mostly about the date for being induced.
Maybe the prenatal nurse was wrong about me having him 'way before'.
Because she said that on the 2nd.
It's now the 6th.
And the date to be induced is the 9th.

And I still don't even FEEL ready to deliver, or very pregnant.

I know stressing about stuff is stupid and it doesn't help, but where's my kid at?

All I wanted was a natural labour.
I thought I could handle the pain but I didn't think about being pumped with drugs to induce, should things run long.

I am very, very upset right now.
So it's 3.30am and I can't sleep.

Last Chance!

I figured it was my last chance to bake anytime soon, so I made afghans this morning!
Ignore the kitchen...it's the last room to be renovated, although we will put down new flooring sooner rather than later.

Prenatal News!

From an email to family and friends...

Well the nurse gave me a date to be induced today, numbers to call, and the procedure they would go through.
Wanting a natural birth of course I was devastated.
:(
Then she actually *checked* me and said....
Ta Da!
I was dilated between one and two centimeters and my cervix is "thinner than a piece of paper".
Very exciting!
She said I should have him anytime, and well before the date to induce (the 9th).

YAY!
So I skipped home from the prenatal, as much as I could with Parker squirming around, and *then* found out we will have TREMENDOUS storms today and tornado warnings (again).
Which...you know...I think would be AWESOME to have a baby in.

So hoorah!
Good news day all around.
We will keep you guys posted!

Love & Sparkles,

Ripped Off!

My outie button went back in.
*ripped off*

I think the plaster cast pulled it out for the day but then it went away.

What, what?!
Perhaps it was my New Zealand April Fool's from God.

Still waiting for baby to arrive...
He certainly likes to bang around and *act* like he's coming out!
