Yes. Typical. It’s 4am and I should be fast asleep in bed. Alas, I am awake typing on the computer another blog…..about….??? I am not awake from lack of tiredness. Nooo, far from it. I am not awake thinking about what lies ahead today either. Tho I am most definitely thinking…..

I am awake through a combination of things, some being hubby and some being mine. Basically I figured, that, since Rick will be getting off to work early this morning, I will just suffer until then and go back to bed once he’s gone. In hindsight I should never have slept in the same room (let alone bed) as anyone tonight and I will remember that for next time. Yes, we have a big spare bed, but it’s covered in laundry that I folded yesterday and a big bag of vacuum sealed clothes that I have to put back into the cupboard and that mattress is just way too hard for sleeping on, in my condition. Next time, I will send Rick in there. He can sleep just bout anywhere these days.

Rick’s cousin had her baby yesterday afternoon. *she is only 16*
She was meant to be having it around the 8th of May and ended up going in early and being induced. She is a small little thing and she gave birth to an 8 pound baby boy. I reason that if she can do it….well then so the hell can I!! But I am quite freaked out about having a big baby. Ultimately of course, I just want baby to be 100% fit and healthy. Well I don’t have anything else to write. I am tired. I just want to sleep, but I can’t. Not yet. I WILL catch up tho. I must!

Induction.

Well just about everything is done. It’s just after 10:30pm and I am about to get ready for bed. I am confident I will sleep well tonight as I am really tired. My MIL is going to be coming down as soon as she gets away from work, which is silly really, but I guess some support is better than none (outside of the hubby). My parents are not coming down until Friday late afternoon. Which I am kinda peeved about. As I expected them down here early just in case she comes on Friday. BUT….what can I do?? I guess I just have to get over it. If she comes earlyish then I guess they will not be there to see her for ages. I DID say come down Friday. I just thought they would come down in the morning…….??

My back on the left hand side is very sore again. I can’t wait till all these aches and pains are long forgotten. I hope tomorrow when they examine me, I am progressing somewhat or it’s going to be a long long stay. G’night!

So today I have just been focusing on getting the house straightened out and the Baby’s room organised, packing my hospital/baby bags and so on and so forth. It’s just past lunch time and I still have a long way to go….but there is light at the end of the tunnel. It helps me to keep busy, cuz then my mind is off what lies ahead. The baby is having the hiccups again right as I type. My back is aching. I just had a nice hot shower. Now I am waiting for the hubby to come home from work.

I am tired.

The breast pump came this morning and so did the SIDs Monitor. I am in the middle of washing the rest of the baby’s clothes and blankets and towels blah blah blah. Her room is going to look nice and fresh and bright. I just can’t wait until all of this is behind me and she is in my arms and we are home.
