So does my baby!!!!! That's right folks, Baby Louey has come to his senses and flipped around, upside down. The way he SHOULD be. Can I get an "amen?" He has saved his poor mother lots of worrying and heartache.
I have been freaking out about the possibility of him not turning, and therefore, me having to have a c-section. I have been kneeling on all 4s, floating in the pool, trying every exercise I could to help. In case you don't know my "birth history" (and why would you?) over the past three births, I have tried everything. I have gone into the "Baskin Robins" of birthing options and tested each flavor and topping. So I think that I am more than able to make a rational, informed decision of what I want and what I don't. I want (read: NEED) a quick recovery, as I already will have a 5 and 7 year old waiting for me at home. They won't understand "sorry boys, mommy had her insides removed then shoved back in, she's too sore to set up the Wii." Plus, to be honest, I want my fairytale ending. I think I deserve it. I started with the crappiest birth story with Max, and I've gradually gotten better with each birth. Now, all that said, I of course will do whatever it takes to bring Baby Louey safe into this world, regardless of how they may slice and dice me.
A trip to the midwife clinic this week started off as scary (I had to go by myself) but turned out to be a good trip. I not only learned that Louey had turned but also that I do not have gestational diabetes (didn't think I did though.) My blood pressure has gone from "low" to "normal" however, my iron is really low. The midwife even thought that that could have contributed to my fainting episode the other week.
In case you didn't hear me complaining last week, we had some of the HOTTEST weather here. We had a week of 40*+ weather. For you people who don't work in celcius, the weather peaked at about 113*F. Hot. Very hot. Freakin hot. If I heard one more non-pregnant person complain to me that they were uncomfortable, I was going to scream. Day after day of extreme heat with no relief. It was really hard to cope. I think I could have stood naked, wet, in front of an A/C and STILL not felt any cooler. It was that hot. This week has been much better but they are saying Saturday will be over 40* again. God help us. I knew there was a reason I enjoyed Max being a winter baby. Damn!
We all figure that the next ten weeks will fly by. Christmas/summer holidays are over and we are all back to work, school, sports and activities. Baby Louey is actually due during the Easter break in April, so we figure we'll be there before we know it. Both my big boys started back at school and kinder this week. Max returned to school a big grade 1 kid and has enjoyed his first week. Ashton started kinder and is loving it. I start back to teaching next week which means I've had two kid-free days this week!! And I loved every minute of it. I will have a totally kid-free Tuesday for at least this first term of school. I think I'll call it "kara day."
