Still Pregnant

Still here and still pregnant....I've kinda entered the 'waiting game' stage....its getting harder to move around, and I cant really start any new projects till after the baby's here anyway. Not that that leaves me with nothing to do, but my plate is strangely light for the next couple weeks.

Went to the store/post office this morning, and wonder of wonders, both boys fell asleep on the way back. So I actually get two minutes to type, they are both asleep in the stroller on the porch. HA! I wonder how long this will last.....

Random Thoughts - my mind is too busy right now to stay on just one....

- Im so hoping childbirth will be faster this time around than the last time, even though last time was short too. Of course you want the pain to be as short as possible! lol

More Random Thoughts

I think I may have gotten these kids to FINALLY take a nap at the same time. The only problem is, it involved ME lying down with them to get them to do it. I got up after 5 mins, but I know that later on, that 5 mins will turn into 3 hours if I continue that pattern....sigh

- I wonder what is so special about home birth? Im not sure I get the whole experience thing....I know Im kinda cynical about the whole birth thing anyway, frankly to be honest, I just want to get through it and keep going with life. The worst part of the whole thing for me will be the down time I'll be required to take after...I know I wont be walking around for like a week or so, which SUCKS ...yuck. I dont even want to think about it.

- Its funny how when you get married, you DO end up changing....my husbands desire to have the place cleaner than I normally would has affected me, turning me into a partly obsessive cleaning freak....who would of thought that ME of all people wouldn't be able to go to sleep at night without a completely clean house?! I was definitely NOT that way before marriage. I guess he made me see the connection between the minds cleanliness and efficiency and the actual condition of your surroundings. Its interesting. OH WAIT!.......oh lord, maybe is this is just the nesting syndrome taking over!!!! LOLOL

- ok so I KNOW the best thing for the baby, and me, and everybody else concerned is to have it naturally, no drugs, no nothing. But I will bey LYING if a part of me isnt wishing that this baby would TURN around and try to come out butt first, so I will have an excuse to get some pain meds or even a C-section. I know its Way more risky, etc., and deep down I dont really want it to happen. I AM prepared to repeat the experience of natural labor. But does that mean that I should really WANT to? I mean, who in their right mind REALLY wants to repeat natural labor.... yall know me, I say it like it is.....
