Today is August 12th. I have 13 days and counting! We took a poll to see when everyone thinks Katelyn will be arriving. I guessed the 14th, I just have a feeling she is coming early. Linda guessed the 19th and told me she would pay me $20 to wait so she could be right. I told everyone I would take the highest bid and have her then. Although, I would rather be right and say my motherly instincts just knew. I read online how to make yourself go into early labor because I am so excited and just like everything I can NEVER wait; I always rush everything into happening. It said to do things like eat spicy foods, walk a lot, bounce on an exercise ball and thinks like that. I am not going to do anything that would hurt my body or the baby but all those things are good for me anyway so I will try whatever I can. This little baby will come whenever she is ready, but I hope she is ready soon! I am SO tired of going to the bathroom all day and night! I can't wait to be able to bend over and put my pants on easily or picky things up without a struggle. I also can't wait to get rid of this heartburn! I will be happy to wake up without my hands being numb, I have gotten used to going to the bathroom and texting with numb hands. My hands go numb pretty much no matter what I do and my knuckles hurt really bad. I can't wear my own tennis shoes I have to wear Burke's size 12 shoes and they are still tight :( When I walk at Linda's house I have to wear Doug's shoes because they are bigger than Burke's and more comfortable. There is nothing like asking your father-in-law if you can borrow his shoe's because your feet are so big and swollen. Good thing I am comfortable with them and don't care when they laugh at me.
Burke and I got every last little thing we could possibly think of this weekend. We got the play mat, a trash can for her room, a little music player that plays different relaxing music and shines different moving pictures on the wall like the cow jumping over the moon. I love to sit in the rocking chair in the nursery with the lights off and listen to the music and watch the cows and stars on the ceiling. It is my favorite thing in the nursery. I have had everything washed and ready to go since my baby shower. We have the bag packed and set out ready to go. I have batteries in everything like the swing, the bouncer and the monitor.
I am so excited and anxious for Katelyn's arrival. She can come any time. Last week I was almost a cm dilated and I am getting checked again tomorrow so hopefully all of the things I have been trying are working. I am still working Monday through Thursday and I can't wait until I don't have to work anymore! Everyone keeps coming up to me and trying to touch my stomach and asks me the same questions OVER and OVER again!! It is SO annoying! I want to yell at them "don't touch me and it's none of your business what I am having, what we are naming the baby, and what my plans are." I normally don't mind that much. I love being pregnant and talking about the baby but I don't like the same residents trying to touch me! I hope this little baby appreciates all that I am going through!
