I think NHL knew that mommy was in a bad mood and was trying to get me to laugh. Here’s what he did tonight as I was about to head into the shower.
NHL: “Mommy, why is your belly SO big?”
Me: “NHL, you tell me why.”
NHL: He pats me on the belly, giggles and yells –> “The baby!”
Then I quickly reminded him to tell his little brother that his eviction notice was given and to GET OUT!!!!
*sigh* This kid is already testing me!

Yesterday we opted not to go to temple since we weren’t feeling so great. Instead we went on some errands to get a few things just in case the baby appears soon. We ran around to several places and had lunch out as well. After that we went home and got NHL to take a nap.
Can you tell he was a little tired (after finally giving in to a nap)?
Here’s NHL after we woke him up with a camera in his face:
Late in the afternoon I wasn’t sure if my water broke. I finally came to the conclusion that it probably wasn’t and life went one . . . with constant phone calls inquiring what was going on. So here I sit more pregnant than I ever was with NHL and miserable since the longer this goes and bigger the little guy gets the more unlikely I will be to deliver without a c-section. *sigh*
I was drained and actually went to bed before 8:00. At about 10:00 my mother called joking about bringing me some pineapple. I was sleeping, but woke up with the phone. JL came in to see me and told me I was leaking. Unfortunately it wasn’t the exciting kind, this just required nursing pads and a bra along with a change of night shirts since I was soaked. The rest of the night I was in hip agony. My one hip was killing me no matter what I did.
This morning we all went to the last minyan before Shiva was over. Talk about pressure to deliver and have the baby NOW. Everyone needs to remember that I have NO control of this and it’s all the stubborn little guy’s fault that is within. He was officially served his eviction papers last night, so it’s totally out of my hands! And we’ll make the bris work, so everyone can stop pestering since that’s all I’ve heard for the last week from various people.
Right now NHL and JL are outside planting flowers. The key this year was to get and use the bunny spray. Last year a family of bunnies kept eating anything and everything that was growing. This year we have the non-toxic spray that bunnies do not like the smell/taste of and will stay away. Hopefully it will work since NHL is going to be very upset if nothing grows.
Here’s a photo of the boys outside:
On that note I am off to rest, I am just too drained to clean or do things for work.

Things have been crazy lately and I haven’t had time to post here. I was going to try at night, but haven’t had a chance to do it since I’ve been sick in the evening. I have been really dizzy and horribly nauseous with heartburn to boot. Last night was the worst, add in BH contractions that kicked me in the butt. I was convinced we were going to head to the hospital. Plus I felt the little guy engage (however that didn’t last too long). I never had to go to L&D, but it did make me practically pack all of my hospital bag this morning.
My mother took me this afternoon to the doctor for my 38 week visit. I lost some weight this week, no protein/sugar in urine, my BP was high for me, but within normal range and his heart rate was great. The doctor agrees with me that some of the stomach issues are from the double antibiotic therapy knocking my poor GI tract. She also looked at my thigh and said it’s closed and looks better, but it isn’t cured. The color can let her see that there is still something going on within. *sigh*
We talked about how the way I was feeling is exactly the way I was before my water broke with NHL. Here’s the deal. . . my water broke the night before I was 38 weeks –> which is tonight in this pregnancy. So the doctor decided to do a pelvic exam, OUCH! Since last week things have started to move along. Rather than nothing, I am not 1 cm dilated. She managed (much to my horror) to get his head and that made the big guy bounce. She told me that had he been engaged now she would have contemplated breaking my water, but can’t now. She said he’s just too high and floating. If she did it she would risk the cord going down before his head and blocking the birth canal. So it’s a waiting game to see how my body does with things.
On that note I am off to rest before heading back to my family’s house for the evening.
