I looked back on my old pregnancy blog with Khéna written at about the same time that I am now in my pregnancy and it reads exactly like the way I feel now…
I have to admit that I am officially tired of being pregnant. This pregnancy was pretty easy up to a few weeks ago when my pelvis started to really hurt.
If it wasn’t for this Pelvis pain I would be OK… still tired maybe but not as much as now… The worst times for me is when I am laying down, so the bed actually looks like my enemy… I can’t sleep because I hurt too much, I can’t twist and turn because the pain is excruciating… So I stay in the same position all night and just doze lightly… when I need to finally move I have to go really slowly onto my back… I can’t roll because my pelvis is locked into place so I have to lift myself up a bit to turn and then once I am on back I have to release all of my muscles and wait until I hear a big pop in my pelvis and then I can finish turning or get up… of course the first minutes up are so hard also…
Now to add to it, walking hurts and doing things out of the house is a pain…
Shopping for groceries is something that I need to gear up for because walking while pushing the cart is getting to be imposible, but with a family to feed and to shop for I just get it done and then come home, sit down and recuperate.
Besides that the pregnancy is going well… I can’t believe that I am full term now and that I could have a baby at any time… though I fully expect to go to 42 weeks again as I have done in the past, I still hope that this baby will make an earlier appearance like Colin did at 38 weeks..
But then again, my friend Gen will be hosting a Blessingway for me next Sunday, so I would like to still be pregnant at that time…
The calls are also starting to come… since I said the month of Jan for the edd, the first of Jan seemed to be a sort of deadline for some. The questions of when I will be giving birth have started and the frustrations of some not knowing when because I won’t give a date have also started… I just answer now within the next 5 weeks and they will know after the baby is there…
I am also feeling more ready to have a new baby in the house, there are still things on my to-do list like get the car seat out and get it installed, find the baby blankets and baby socks but if a baby were to arrive before those things were done, it wouldn’t be that much of a big deal since those things are just in the cedar closet of the shed…
As long as we have the things that I want for the birth (I bought the sink adaptor for the pool hose yesterday) and we have towels and embroidery floss etc is what is the most important for me…
Ah… the last weeks of pregnancy..
HI there!
Have you though about IGA.net? It may not be your grocerie of choice but you could shop online and have it delivery to your door at least until the baby is there and you feel better about going out! I used then years ago when we did not have a car and the service was good.
Yes we used them quite often when both Colin and Khéna were born and at other times in those years but I haven’t done it in a long time…
We should try again, though we will definitely be using it when the baby comes since Simon doesn’t drive, I just find IGA is SO expensive compared to other grocery stores but it is a great service…
BTW, there is a new site for online groceries in Montreal that looks great but sadly isn’t out here yet… https://www.epiceriedirect.com/
How exciting to be expecting a new little one. I can hardly wait to hear your news.
Sending lots of light – Debbie
