May 4th

Braden Pierce will be here May 4th. He has insisted on being breech and so I have a scheduled c-section Wednesday morning!!! Can't believe he will be here in 4 days :) Guess I better get the bed ready!

Flood of Emotions

So, I was already having an emotional day (these seem to be coming more frequently these days...dang hormones!) And so the following experience only made my emotional day more emotional, however it was all the emotions during the day and more combined into about a 30 second time period.

There is nothing like the panic of seeing your toddler running towards a street...
 Why was she running towards the street you ask? Because we were at the "little park" and she wanted to go to the bigger park across the street, so while I was talking she started to sneak off (she's VERY sneaky, another story for another time)

Its even worse when you are 36 weeks and 3 days into your pregnancy (meaning I am considered full term in 4 days...)

Why does this make it worse? Well let me explain. I felt like an elephant while running...except elephants can actually go fast...I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere!

Emotion #1: Panic
Emotion #2: Fear
Emotion #3: Frustration, because I couldn't move as fast as I knew I needed too, and despite my yelling at her to stop she continued to pick up speed, and in that moment I felt as if she was the fastest 2 year old in the world!
Emotion #4: Relief, because I didn't have to watch her get run over!
Emotion #5: Embarrassment, because I can only imagine what big, fat pregnant me looked like running across the park...

Then I'm not sure what emotion to call it...but because I am pregnant I cried...go figure!
And now...well just PAIN! pulled a muscle and literally can barely move, thankfully Chris has been helping...

Needless to say I don't think Savannah and I will be visiting the park again anytime soon...
I just pray Braden doesn't try to come now because he is still breech and that could get complicated!

"Hiding"

Chris and Savannah were playing "monsters" (Chris chases Savannah around while making growling noises and tickles her when he catches her.) Savannah took off running as fast as her little bitty legs would take her. Chris came around the corner after her to find this:

He hears her giggling and asks, "Where are you?"
*More giggles* Then a little voice from inside the toy cube: "I hiding! In here!"

Update

So a LOT has been happening, ... We just moved back in with my parents. Chris's work situation is less than ideal (can't go into detail about that). And we were a little nervous this munchkin was going to come early when I ended up in the hospital with contractions that were 5 minutes apart (at only 34.5 weeks). HOWEVER! The baby has not come yet, thank goodness! BUT...he is breech. Or at least the Dr is 95% sure. I will have an ultrasound Monday to be 100% sure, then if he is still breech on Wednesday the Dr. will try to flip him around.
Which apparently is a very uncomfortable process. I will go to the hospital into labor and delivery where the Dr will literally push the baby around by pushing on my stomach...then they will monitor the baby for 4 hours to be sure everything is alright. If everything is alright I go home and we proceed as normal. IF my water breaks during this process (or at any point while he is still breech) they will have to do an emergency c-section...and if he doesn't turn around, or stay put after being turned around then I will also have to have a c-section. According to the internet this "flipping" process has a 65% success rate...we'll see what happens. I am praying he will turn on his own before Monday...
