Randomness

Randomness...I think that will define this post perfectly.  My mind is very scattered right now and I just need to vent.  Not vent as in I'm upset, more like I just need to get out everything that is running around in my mind. :)  Some of this will definitely be TMI so beware. ;)

*The contractions from yesterday have definitely slowed down.  However, I am much more crampy.  I also started to loose my mucus plug today... I think (sorry, I know that's kinda gross :) ).  I'm trying really hard not to look too much into it all but it's really hard not to.  Something is definitely going on but it doesn't mean she's coming now.  A girl in my Brad.ley Class for example, had these same sorts of signs including the mucus plug  and blood and still didn't go into labor for 3 weeks.


*I've had super bad heartburn today.  I have never in my life had heartburn...not even throughout this whole pregnancy and yet today I have it.  At least I think I do.  I imagine this is what heartburn feels like.  I don't like it at all!

*  I think my husband is a total hottie.  Like for real I can't stop staring at him.  Haha!  I've always thought he was a hottie but lately it seems very magnified. :)

*  K keeps telling me on a daily basis how beautiful I am.  He has always told me that but he says it different lately so I'm guessing he's feeling the same way I am.  He said he didn't realize how much more attractive pregnancy would make me.  I think he's off his rocker because I feel much more like a beached wale but I'll definitely take the compliments.  If he could have it his way I would be pregnant as often as possible.  Fine with me. :)  I've got some catching up to do.

*  Is it completely nutty that this baby isn't born yet and I'm already thinking about number 2?  I pray that we can have a number 2.  The IF mindset never leaves and the thought will always be in my mind that Dr. H called this a miracle pregnancy. Not that all babies aren't miracles.  He was just super surprised that it happened when it did because my body was a mess at the time.

*  K has been saying from day one that he would love for MG to be born on St. Patrick's Day.  It's his favorite day (of course the excuse to drink Guinn.ess helps :) ).  If she is my daughter she will come tomorrow or Friday just to be funny.  I'm not saying I'm stubborn or anything. ;)

*  I'm really hoping she doesn't come this weekend.  It's a full moon so L&D will be a flippin' madhouse!  It's going to be much harder to find a natural birth friendly nurse if they are super swamped with women having babies.  It will also seriously limit my chances of getting one of the two rooms that has a tub.  However, my best friend S would be supper thrilled.  Her birthday is on Sunday.

*  I don't know if I've mentioned this but my sister S is having a baby in July.  This will be number 3 for her (she's super fertile like the rest of my family she blinks and is pregnant).  She's having a girl too!  They are naming her Olivia Nicole (Nicole is my middle name too!).  I can't wait to buy MG and Olivia matching outfits!  My family is in serious need of girls!  There hasn't been any girls around these parts since my littlest sister was born 26 years ago.  We were due.

*  Yesterday I had absolutely no appetite whatsoever!  I was having to force food in me and still didn't eat hardly anything.  Today I could seriously eat us out of house and home!  I cannot eat enough to satisfy my hunger.  My body is weird.

*  I caved and bought Cad.bury Creme Eg.gs today.  MMMMMMMM!  They are my favorite!  I ate one and then realized that I had given up junk food for lent.  I'm doing other things as well, but I wanted to do something food related since I obviously can't fast.  Oops.  We aren't even a week in and I've already messed up. :(

*  I'm really missing my Nana right now.  I know it's because labor is nearing and I wish she was hear with me.  But knowing why doesn't make it hurt less.  If you could spare a prayer or two for my heart I would greatly appreciate.  It still feels very very broken.

Ok...I think I've rambled and bored you enough.  I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your Tuesday.  You are all always in my prayers...and on my labor prayer list just in case. :)
