So I thought I should get in a quick post before Maci Brielle arrives (yeah we picked a name, Aaron mainly picked the first name and I picked the middle...how is that even fair?). I am not just about to be 37 weeks in 2 days and I am already dilated to 4. I am 70% effaced and the baby is at -2 station, head down and engaged. Which basically means I feel like I am walking around with a bowling ball between my legs: fun times! TMI, but it's my blog so I'm gonna say it. I lost my mucous plug over the weekend. Very gross but just another sign labor is coming at any moment. I'm also at 191 lbs. Yikes. Hopefully breastfeeding sucks the fat back out like it did last time. I can't wait to start working out and get skinny again.
We took the kids to walk around Heartland of America Park last night. The older girls are enjoying probably their last sleepover before Maci is born. We took them to get ice cream and went for a long walk to see the ducks, fish and turtles. We had fun and got chased by ducks for our bread:) Contractions occurred while walking but then stopped by the time we got home. Just my luck, all I got from that long walk was a more sore pelvis and 2+ pitting edema in my lower extremities. The girls know that I can't do anymore sleepovers at our house after Maci is born. Sleepovers are exhausting to parents and disruptive to the little one's sleep schedule. But the older girls are obsessed with them...it's not enough to play with their friends for 15 hours during the day, they have to stay up until 3 AM watching movies with them too.
Quick update on the fam:
