I woke up not feeling too well. I was having Braxton Hicks like crazy, but got my butt to work so I could get some things off my plate. I worked and worked, but just could not handle it. The contractions were crappy and I just felt like crap. I finally went home. This continued all night and into Friday. I worked from home Friday and did what my doctor ordered, which was rest. My body was trying to tell me to chill out.
Saturday J and I decided to knock some things off our "before baby comes" list. We got our whooping cough shots (FYI my arm is still sore), I took J to World of Beer that just opened near our house. J is a huge beer buy so man was in heaven! They give you an ipad to explore all your options. It was a rainy day, so it was nice to just spend some time with him.
After WOB, we headed to check off another list item: Cinderella. I was told to see movies at my own will before baby comes, so we did. It was cute and I would recommend it. It stayed true to the classic story, right down to Gus-gus the mouse.
And then Sunday arrived. I woke up early with every intention of church, but had a low-grade fever and let's just say, I only made it off the couch to get groceries and trips to potty. Apparently when my body says rest, it means rest.
Now, if I could just get comfortable. I am still dealing with the pain just beneath my right breast which comes and goes and often is a sharp shooting pain that cripples me. Is it sad I am looking forward to maternity leave just to relieve this pain?
3 weeks left! Check back tomorrow for my whole "Before Baby Comes" list.
Eeeek, it's getting so close!!! I hope you're able to rest and relax as much as possible--your body obviously needs it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to do a couple of fun things this weekend, including seeing Cinderella. I LOVED Gus-gus in the original, so I'm glad that it stays true :)
Hope your week goes a little smoother and more comfortably!
Awwww, BOFF, I'm sorry your body made you rest. I mean, I know you need it, but it's never fun when you HAVE to rest because you don't feel well. I'm glad you were able to get some things checked of your list.
ReplyDeleteWasn't the moving fabulous? I found it so enchanting and thought they did a beautiful job with the casting and staying true to the story. "Have courage and be kind", what a wonderful message.
3 weeks, oh my goodness! So exciting!
Definitely rest when your body tells you to for sure. I had one day of scarily painful contractions last week and ever since then, have been trying to take it a bit easier! I can't believe you're down to just 3 weeks, sweet girl. Wow! Can't wait to read your "Before Baby" list tomorrow!!!:)
ReplyDeleteI got my whooping cough shot about a week and half ago, and my arm was sore for the longest time. I should've known to move that sucker around to prevent soreness. I need to make hubby get it here soon. Hopefully your braxton hicks go away. Cannot wait to see pics of your baby girl when she makes her debut!
