Conservative Parenting

What's going on in everyone's world this week. How's everyone feeling? Morning sickness still around?

I'm ready to be done but can't complain about much of anything. Even my hip pain seems to be letting up a bit, I've been hitting the voodoo and trying to workout more that combination seems to be working!

Morning sickness, I believe, is finally gone. I still have a bad food aversion to chicken though. The smell and look makes me sick.

The baby is very active. More so than the kiddos were, more room to move around I guess. I ate some chocolate cake last night, and the baby moved around and kicked for almost 2 hours strait.

We have a name picked out for now. If we can't come up with something else by delivery we'll be using that name.

I am finally at my prepregnancy weight now. I lost 8 lbs and now I am back to where I started.

We are dealing with DD having the chicken pox right now. Kd is showing symptoms, so he'll probably have spots within the next couple of days. Fun stuff.

I have been feeling much better overall. Headaches are gone, the weird neck pain I had seems to have faded, and the ms is gone, I am finally "enjoying" the pregnancy now.

Oy TJ, Poxy, oy oy oy :P 

Well, the most exciting thing this past week was my baby shower.  My BFF and sister in law said I needed one since this one is a girl and everything I have has already been through 3 babies.  We had a great turn out... and you should see the pink!!  Almost every single little outfit I got was pink!  But it's cute, and if you're gonna go pink, you might as well go all the way!  Besides, she might be a redhead and she'll have to get the pink in while she can.

With the shower, I've decided to kick off baby season in our household.  I'm getting her room set up, clothes washed up, all of that jazz.  That way, if she wants to make an early appearance... she could show her brothers how it's done!  (They were all late.)

I've had lots and lots of contractions, but I'm not fooled this time.  I've had lots and lots of contrax before only to go in and have them say I'm not dialated at all.  (They are BH for the most part.)  But I guess my body remembers how it's done.  :)

This is totally selfish, but I am accepting prayers for me to go into natural labor.  If I don't go into labor by the 21st they are insisting on a C section (my last was a C section and I think they're just a little nervous about the VBAC).  I really believe that a VBAC is the safer way to go for mom and baby, not to mention the other munchkins I have at home to worry about.  And I hate to mess up everyone's Christmas.  So if you think about it, I'll take any extra prayers I can get!

Have a great and comfortable week!

I'm going back and forth on the VBAC. Not sure what I'll do. I'll send up a prayer that you get one and that all goes well.

Aside. I wanted to catch up on my reading while the boys napped today. Problem, my book is under my bed and I'm too fat to slither under and reach it. I do not like these size restrictions :(
