9 Months

I wanted to post one more pregnancy update before the boy joined our family but looks like he did not want to wait! So... My last month was pretty dang crappy. My other pregnancies were uncomfortable and I was tired but nothing like this one. I swear I did not get ANY sleep at nights due to my legs being in pain the entire time. My joints killed. My hips, knees and ankles hurt whenever I would lay in bed, I would put the heating pad on them and started taking Tylenol before bed but really nothing helped. Joss and I would nap during the day which helped, actually she would almost lay on me and watch Shrek while I slept.
I also was bigger with this baby than the other ones and my body was stretched to the max- I had people tell me I looked like I was going to pop, I looked miserable etc. Also he was so low that moving or sitting was so uncomfortable.
My Dr. told me I would be having him early and as soon as I felt labor start to get into the hospital. So hearing that he was almost ready and was going to be out within the week it made me get my hopes up and so we started taking long walks (yeah also really tough to do). I would walk outside when it was nice or walk Walmart when it was cold. I also started bouncing on an excersice ball. I wanted this kid out!!
I went to Dr. Riley on monday with a UTI (super crappy), Tuesday I walked Walmart and bounced on the ball, Wednesday I finally decided I would just wait 5 days and be induced- taking the pressure off and stop wondering "is today the day?" I slept a lot that day. It was weird, I was so tired! And decided Joss and I would walk the mall. We played at the indoor playground, had an ice cream cone and headed home. That night Ry had piano lessons at 5pm and I sat out in the car drinking dr pepper and eating clementines when I started getting contractions, not painful. After a few I started timing them and they were about 10 min apart. After piano they were still coming, Jesse called me and asked if I wanted to go to Young Womens and he would stay home with the younger two kids. I told him we might be going to the hospital so I was not sure.
We threw the lil ones in the tub, and packed some bags. Called and talked to Dr Riley who said yes come in. We dropped older two at church and younger two at friends house and finally made it to the hospital at about 7:00 p.m. with contracttions about 5 min apart. And thats the pregnancy story:) I will go onto birth story in next post. ha ha lets hope it does not take another two months.
