Monday before Thanksgiving...{tick tock}

This past week was, to put it gently, very difficult for me (which means it must have been hard for Paul). Everytime I went to bed, I prayed that I would be woken up by a burst bag of water or intense labor contractions but it didn't happen. Therefore, each morning I lulled around a little sad. I know it's getting super close now (only 5 days til my due date) but it's still hard to have the patience necessary to get through them. It helps that it's a slow work week for Paul so I may get to do a ride along with him on Tuesday or Wednesday. I LOVE spending my free time with him even if it's just riding with him in his car while he drives around Orange County.

Last night was kind of cool though...I woke up at around 11:30pm with some pain in my lower abs, my lower/outer back and in between my legs. I would fall in and out of sleep with the pain til it went away at around 3am or so. I was so hoping that it was "go time" but hey at least there is some sort of action, huh! It wasn't super painful but more "ouch, that's uncomfortable". I'm looking for the "you can't talk through it cause it hurts so much" kind of pain. We shall see! Today, I'm going to clean the house as if she's coming (I think I've done that about 50 million times), play some video games to pass the time, and do some online Christmas shopping. Maybe I'll make a trip to the grocery store, too. I want to make sure I have the staples in the house for when Gramma & Grampa Thompson and the Dill Family come up here on thursday for Thanksgiving. I know I'm going to bake a pumpkin pie with crumb topping and I'll also make sure to have beverages, too. (I say all of this, but what I would really love is to have a baby girl to be with LOL).

We have another OB/GYN appointment tomorrow at 2:30pm but here's hoping we don't make it to that point!

Love,

Andrea
