Counting Down

One week has passed and still no baby. I have 5 days until my official due date (which I think means nothing to this little girl). Life has slowed way down for me. It's a good pace for someone who's almost 9 months pregnant. Here's what I've done this week:

• Rested and rested. One day I was so tired, I slept a lot! It was nice actually because I'm not sleeping through the night anymore.
• Went to the dentist for a cleaning- trying to get it done before I don't have time to!
• Graded papers- which isn't so bad when it's the only thing you have to do related to teaching. Still have to put the scores in the gradebook.
• Tried to be a good housewife. That lasted until about Wednesday when I realized no matter how many days I intended to clean the floors, it just wasn't going to happen. I did get all the laundry done and organized and kept the kitchen clean- a never ending feat!
• Worked on History Day- again this was actually really nice without a full time job attached to it. I cold sit in my pjs on my computer and research for my fellow coach. I got a lot accomplished- even set up two very important interviews for the kids. This was good to focus all my energy on this week- otherwise, I might have gone crazy!
• Got shopping done- like grocery and stocking up on necessities. I think I'm well stocked now.

This was a big adjustment for me. Monday was a little difficult. When Aaron got home from work, I was DYING to talk with him. I followed him around the house. Then, it got easier as the week went on. I released some control over my classroom- even sent some papers back to school for the sub to grade! As long as I don't know what's going on, I'm okay...

Doctor said last Wednesday that her head was low- that's a good thing, but I'm still only dilated to 1 cm. I actually got to work out 4 days this week and walk two more days- but it hasn't helped yet! He also informed me that he is going on vacation the first week of May. SO, I have two weeks to get this BABY out! Please pray she comes before then! I will keep you posted as to my progress. Let's hope things are moving along this week at my dr. appt.
