So Done!!

I have to say that I am one who does not really like being pregnant. I am sure most people know that because I am sure I complain A LOT! (Sorry friends...and family...and strangers in the grocery store.) This pregnancy has actually gone pretty fast and hasn't really been too bad. I haven't been really sick or had too much heartburn. I have been feeling pretty good for the most part until about two weeks ago. I am in constant pain! My lower stomach hurts like crazy. I feel like this baby girl is just going to fall out the front of me. Part of the reason, I am sure, is that my belly grew 3 cm in two weeks. Normally your belly expands just one centimeter a week. I have a feeling this baby is going to be really big. Every time I stand up I have a contraction. I am dilated between a 1-2 and 40% effaced.
I am thinking that my kids are also sick of me being pregnant. Abbey really wants me to lay by her and pick her up and I just tell her I will feel better after the baby is born. My kids have to pick everything up off the floor for me too. I told Alyssa to find Avery's missing shoe the other day and she said, "Mom, it's right there." "Where?" "Right by your foot," she says. Yes, it was right by my foot, but can I see my feet? NO! She just laughs at me. Hopefully our little baby will decide she wants out as much as I want her out and come early, but I am not that lucky. I am going to talk to my doctor next week about inducing a week early, so maybe she will join our family for Mother's day. That would be awesome!!

My little sis..

I just have to say that I have the best sister in the whole world! I pretty much grew up with all brothers. I wanted a sister so bad that I prayed to have one. Hillary was born when I was 10 1/2 years old. When I was twelve she was two years old and I prayed that Heavenly Father would take her back!! She really made me crazy. I got married when she was 8 years old so we have never really been close until now. She is literally my right hand. Anytime I need help cleaning or a babysitter she is the first person I call and she is always willing to help. (I do pay her, so maybe that is her motivation.) I know I drive her friends crazy because she is always telling them she has to help me or that is busy taking care of her nieces. I can't thank her enough for all she does for me. I know that someday when she has her little family I will pay her back! Thanks Sis- I love you!!
