We're in the home stretch now. I was fortunate to get out of work early and am enjoying every minute of my time before the baby arrives, even though its getting very hard to move around. I get lots of regular contractions. Most the time, it just feels like my uterus is getting tight, other times its quite uncomfortable and almost painful. I've gotten them as close as 6min apart and when I go on a walk, it feels like I have one long contraction the whole time. I still have some pretty bad hip pain, mostly on my right side, my lower back is almost always sore from the weight, curvature of my spine and any bending or lifting I have to do, and sleeping on my side usually makes my upper back sore in the morning.
We have all of the baby furniture set up in his room and Violet has been set up with her new furniture, including a big girl toddler bed, in her room. I have a huge "to do" list but rarely get to cross anything off when I'm at home with Violet. I've been working on making a big tree to put in the corner of the baby's room but have made very slow progress because the only time I can work on it is when Violet is sleeping and the noise sometimes wakes her up. I have been able to cook and store about 5 meals and would like to put more in the freezer for after the baby comes. A home cooked meal that I don't have to prepare is the best thing after bringing a new baby home. There isn't anything we need except for more diapers and wipes - nothing a quick trip to Target won't fix.
I just hope he comes early or late enough for me to be able to see Violet go trick-or-treating this year!
