Sorry it’s been a day or two since I’ve written, we’ve been somewhat busy. Once again I had to work a nice 9 hours at work yesterday, barely had time to get home and get freshened up before heading to Dean’s parents for a cook out last night. Then we had to rush off to make it to the show where Dean was to usher, but he ended up having to run spot light as well. We had planned on going to usher and then leaving seeing as the play was in the park and it was so hot out. But when we got there they asked Dean to run spot light so we had to sit in the heat and get eaten by a ton of misquitoes all night long. Then we went out to eat with Ann & Dennis. We finally made it home last night around 12:30 am and boy was I exhausted. I had gotten up at 6 that morning and didn’t stop til 12:30! It’s no wonder I was having contractions last night. Or so that is what we think it was. This first time stuff is awful, I keep having a lot of pressure and then other times it is just some stabbing pain.
Thursday night, or Friday morning, whichever, I awoke with a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen and had trouble falling back to sleep. But when I got up Friday morning for work it was gone. But I kept having sporatic sharp pains all day on Friday. And today I have had a lot of pressure again, and even my inner thighs were sore and I could feel the pressure there as well, and I have been so uncomfortable. I cant sit w/ my legs together it is so bad, I have to straddle a chair to be comfy. I know all your guys out there care, but I have to complain to someone! No, it’s not that bad, more uncomfortable; and frustrating that I dont know if it is contractions, or just Caleb moving down into position. I talked to my mom today and she thinks I am in early labor, but when I had gone to the dr Thursday he said nothing was happening, but I guess it could be now. But as if we’d be that lucky. I feel like I have a cold as well, so maybe being sick is just causing Caleb to be miserable too.
But aside from the discomfort we’ve had a great weekend. Today we went shopping and found some great bargains, on stuff we didnt’ really need to purchase, yet we did anyway. Then we went to see a play that a friend of ours wrote, it was very good. Then we had dinner at Dean’s parents, again. We do that often if you haven’t noticed. And Dean’s mom had gotten Caleb the cutest outfit and socks! Now we are just relaxing at home, complaining about how much money we’ve spent. On top of our buys today, on Friday Dean order over $300 worth of new computer parts so he can build us a new computer. Now that is a good price for what he is doing, but a major expense for us. But we never just spend money, and Dean deserves the new computer he has been dreaming of forever. But now he feels bad about spending the money, and nothing I can say helps because he knows we could have lived without a computer. But I am glad he bought the parts, he never buys anything for him and over the last 9 months I have bought tons of new clothes and baby things. So it is kind of like he finally got what he wanted, and I know he will be so happy once he has his new system built.
Tomorrow we have plans to go to lunch with a couple from our small group at church, it should be another fun day as well. I just hope Caleb gets comfy tonight so that I can be semi-comfortable tomorrow. But then again, if he wishes to bless us with his prescence soon, I will not complain, well as much as any other laboring mom!
