Labor Day and No Baby!

Well folks!  No baby yet.  I thought my water had broke last night... well..... I thought perhaps it was or was going to..... but I think the baby just officially dropped and right, smack on my bladder!  No accidents- just strange, strange things!  I followed the advise from a website and laid down for 30 mins and then checked to see if my water had broken.  No luck peeps!  I went back to bed and woke up in a dry bed.

Since Saturday afternoon I have had swollen ankles and pain in my hips and legs.  I keep trying to figure out what I did so horribly wrong on Saturday.  We took the kids to the park and I guess the walk from the car to the park and then back was TOO much for this body.  The pain in my legs is from sciatic nerve pain or piriformis pain.  I know because I've had it with every child so far.  When you're this stinkin' big, you can't exactly do the exercises to strengthen and stretch that area, so all I can do it lie down and try to get in a comfy spot.  Thankfully, I woke up Sunday feeling better.... then we got a lovely surprise!  All of my family has a nasty cold bug.  Peanut's nose is the nastiest.  Bubbie has this annoying and dry cough.  Hubbie, well, he's a husband..... he doesn't show any SIGNS of being sick, but says he feels horrible and HAS to go to bed!  God love him!!!  ;)  So, the day didn't go like I wanted it to go.  I did feel well enough to get a few meals frozen.  I made shepherd's pie "innards", spaghetti meat sauce, vegetable beef soup and chili. I am so glad I was able to get that much done.  I'm gonna try to get potato soup and chicken pot pie made before the baby makes his appearance!  I am taking is slow since, I guess, when he "dropped" or changed positions, I've had the worse back labor... so we'll see what gets done!

So, this is just me whining, on LABOR DAY of all days!  God has been good.  Several times I thought I was surely gonna have this baby.  All I wanted to do was make it to 38 weeks and I have.... 38 weeks and 3 days!  Now, if he comes, I'm fine!  Just hoping that he comes during the day and not another night time run to the hospital- like the last two!  Just pray that either all these aches and pains stop or we have a baby!  Not sure I can handle this pain and still function with two kiddos for over a week until the c-section date!
