OK… So yesterday was a weird day in my Uterus… the babe moved from LOA to ROA, resting on the left side of my pelvis then decided to make it self at home on the right…

Simon and I wanted to get the trial run of the birth pool done last night after supper… we got everything out and then I went to hook up the pump to the faucet in the kitchen and it didn’t work… the adapter that came with it also didn’t fit… so we didn’t get it done but said that we will do it tonight…
I was having tons of cramps all evening… not at all contrax but just gas…. I seem to get really constipated at the end of pregnancy even though I try to eat a lot of fiber and drink a lot of water… but reading a bit shows me that it is normal part of pregnancy… ahh the fun…. finally I decided to go to bed cause I was just in too much pain to be sitting on the couch anymore… but of course laying down is not something that I want these days because my pelvis hurts so much…

Anyway…  during the night I had tons of pelvic pain again and Colin didn’t sleep well and I just didn’t get much sleep… I got up to pee and I couldn’t get one foot in front of the other, my pelvis hurt so much.. I got back to bed and felt the baby shift again and the pain went away, not all of it but enough that I could move a bit without tears again… I was actually able to lift my leg to put a pillow between my knees without wincing…

So now, the babe is moving a lot less, the movement is more centered, the bum is right up in the middle and the body seems to disappear into my pelvis instead of hanging out right above it… Before if I pushed down on the bum a bit I felt the pressure on pelvic bone… now… it presses down on my bladder and cervix… my tummy also has shrank a bit but it pointing out near the fundus… So I have a feeling that the babe is finally in a better position…

So this morning I woke up and thought it took me a few minutes to get moving well it was a lot better than the last few weeks… we ate breakfast, vegged out a bit and then I got the kids dressed and got ready to head out into the rain to go get a few things (faucet adapter, TP, lightbulbs and a few other things)… I went to the mall and headed to Zellers… didn’t find what I needed… headed to “The Source” found what something else that I needed there, went to Sears to pick up a few catalogues that I ordered but the one that I really wanted went to another pick-up counter… headed back out in the rain and drove to the hardware store for the adapter for the faucet… got there and the lady showed me what I needed and then asked me why the adapter that came with it didn’t work and I told her that the threads were on the wrong side for my kind of faucet…then pointed out that I would just take out the rubber piece inside and it would work…. So I walked back into the rain a bit red faced… went to the other counter to pick up the catalogue, then went and got lunch for the boys and I and came back home realizing that I had forgotten to buy a few things but no more energy to go back out…..

so…. it is an “ughhhhhh day” pregnancy brain is in full force being forgetful, it is raining and yucky out… I have no more energy, we need TP and I just feel like complaining…

but tonight I will be trying out the pool!!! I may even stay in it and watch TV for a while…
