That nesting instinct kicked in. Honestly, I will call it a nesting instinct but I could be going a little organizing crazy because we just moved into our new house and I can finally get settled in. I am in the process of putting all of our clothes away. Some of the clothes have been in plastic space bags for at least a year. I have been doing clothes for the past two days and I am so tired of folding clothes!! I finally washed all of the babies clothes - most of them are from Nathan being passed down. I have most of the bags packed in case I go into labor: nathan's, mine and babies. My husband is also painting Nathan's room this weekend. We have promised him for a year now that when we finally get our own place he can have a "light blue and light green room with trains (train border)." The babies room will have to wait. The baby won't care as long as he has the essentials. There is just so much to do and so little time. We aren't buying a crib until he is around one or two months because he won't be needing it. We have a bassinet and a pack n play with another little bassinet and changing table.

I have the manual turning of the baby on Monday and I really want to make sure a lot of things are done before Monday just in case I need an emergency C section. The chances are very low but you never know. If it doesn't work, then I will have a c section in two weeks. That means I only have two not four weeks to get everything prepared. My goodness!!

Two nights ago, I had heartburn so bad I almost threw up. I had to sleep sitting up. I had no choice. I ate so well that day. I had nothing but bland foods. Last night I had one charlie horse after another! They wouldn't stop!!

My new next door neighbor looked at me and said, "You should go into labor any day now, huh?" When I told her I have another month, she looked surprised. Then at a different time I told someone else when I was due and she said, "You look so small!" Bless her heart. I almost hugged her!!

Those are my random things for the day.

hun I am glad the move went well. Now you sound rushed of your feet!! I cant imagine how hard it must be, I still have heaps to do and I havent moved!!! Nathans room sounds really sweet! Bet he will love it Smile Atleast with all things to do the rest of your pregnancy won't just drag along it will whizz by!! Smile

Good luck for monday, seriously the manual turning thing really isnt that bad! and as you said the chances of labour starting are really slim! Oh and I hear you about the heartburn!! I used to drink milk to get rid of it but that doesnt work anymore, I have started sleeping on my widgey cushion with 2 other pillows on top, to say I wake up with a sore neck is an understatement!!

hey! welcome back. glad you are feeling better than before. i am up at 4 in the morning because of heartburn so i hear you on that one. i used to nap sitting up but at some point that stopped working. i had to laugh about the "i still have a month left". people keep saying that to me too, that i look like i'm ready to pop and i tell them, nope, another 4 weeks or so left and they look kind of surprised. then i end up feeling all fat and huge. argh, i hate that. i've been trying to make myself feel better looking at some of the skinnier ladies' pics on here and their enormous bellies so i know that my belly isn't just big because i'm a fatso, it's big because there's a baby in there!!!

i don't know how you can handle all the hectic stuff going on right before baby comes. try not to over do it! i guess it makes the time go faster though, i'm bored out of my tree most of the time. is nathan getting excited about the baby? i really hope the version goes well, i'll be thinking about you when you go in for that.
