Blessings From Home

No baby yet....

I say that with a bit of bitterness...and yet at the same time, I'm okay with him not being here yet. My ticker still reads 9 days to go, but for the past week, I have been having awful contractions keeping me up all hours of the night. And when morning comes, it's as if nothing happened. My body aches all over, and yet I want to relish so much in this joyous time that only lasts but a short while. I know he will be here soon, before Christmas even, but my impatience overtakes me some days, and then on other days, I am happy, and enjoying the moment that I am in.

I haven't updated my last nesting mission yet, but you'll be happy to know that I did get the girl's room done. That's where my discouragement over the dreaded playroom got to me, and as I was just about to finish full circle cleaning through my house, I quit. I'm still working daily on maintaining the rooms that I worked so hard to clean, and I'm thankful that my house with the exception of one closed door that's contents remain uncleaned for now. I'm sure I will get to it...eventually, but for now, I just do what I have to and will worry about it more later.

Our Thanksgiving was a blessed one, and for the first time in many years, I had to do absolutely nothing, except for stuff my face. I'm usually the main meal preparer for holidays, but everyone agreed that this year I would get a break, for which I am most thankful. I was so babied yestereday, even being made to lay down when my feet began to look too swollen. We're heading back over to my folk's house in a bit for lunchtime leftovers. YUM!

Black Friday...I don't know if I even want to get started on this ridiculous tradition, but my husband chose to partake of the shopping events this morning. I told him he was nuts. At 4 am, he went to walmart, and wrestled 30 people for a trampoline, a big gift we decided to get for our children. It was a good deal, really, but I just can't imagine it being worth that kind of anxiety. He nearly gave himself a hernia lifting the nearly 200lb box into his shopping cart. He is now on the couch recovering from his exciting morning.

Today we are going to be putting up our Christmas decorations, and relaxing. I intend to spend the next week, or until the baby decides to make his arrival working on some Christmas gifts, maintaining my clean home, and just spending some time with my 3 precious children before they number 4.

I'm not sure how much time right now, I'll have to post, but I will work on giving an update on the baby as I have time. I pray your Thanksgiving was a blessed one, and that your weekend promises to be filled with joy.

Blessings, sara

Congrats on being full term!! My Mom is also due any day now and has been having tons of false labor keeping her up at night and exhausting her during the day. You know what they say, misery loves company! We'll keep you in our prayers as well. Hope they don't overcook in there. ;-)
