This has been a busy week. I've thought about coming to post so many times about different things, but I was just too worn out to do it. So let's start from the beginning....
Saturday (38w) my friends Katie Reagin & Richee Edwards hosted a Blessingway for me. It was very simple, but very nice. The food was really yummy! My friend, Talitha Seibel, came and did beautiful henna on my belly (my own design) and on arms and legs of some of the guests. Everyone gifted me with beautiful beads, and heartfelt messages of their wishes for Little Foot's birth.
Here are some pictures from the event:
Monday (38w2d) was a very rough day for me. R, my 2-1/2 year old, was very clingy, and he is especially touchy right now. And, well, I'm not enjoying it. I'm happy to hold him and hug him, but I can't stand the feeling of little fingers all over me ALL.THE.TIME. And then in the evening I finally hit my last straw over some communication issues. I cried for a few hours, was comforted by a few friends, and hoped for a better day to come.
Tuesday (38w3d) I had my (now) weekly appointment. I was so excited to walk in and find Constance back in the office! She had been in a car accident a few weeks ago, and no one was sure when she would be back on her feet. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. My belly continued to grow (up to 42cm now!), but everything else looked great. We still had some difficulty with Little Foot and the fetoscope, so we opted to try the doppler. Of course we could hear him loud and strong!
After my appointment, I went to a La Leche League meeting with my friend Nikki, and then went out to lunch and shopping at Target. Constance said I should take some time for ME, so that's what I did!
