Here is a pic taken April 8. The day before this I was officially taken out of work on maternity leave due to early contractions. I'm basically a handicap person at this point, in that I'm limited to light house work, and minimal walking. To say I am uncomfortable is an understatement! It hurts to go from sitting to standing, it hurts to stand, it hurts to sit for too long, it hurts to walk up stairs, it hurts to get dressed.....I could go on, but I think you get the point. The contractions are still coming and going with various intensity. Sometimes they keep my up half the night, and other nights I sleep pretty well. At my appointment last week, the midwife said she doesn't think that the baby will end up coming soon, but also says that second labors can go very quickly and there is no telling when that could happen! All I know, is that I am ready to be done!! I feel like I'm the size of a barn, and the last time I ventured into public, it was not pretty. One lady I ran into in the restroom even said to me, "You look like you're about to pop! I hope you're not here alone!" She's lucky I was too tired to punch her in the face. :) So, I'm home with Raegan and we hang out at the house all day unless I can run an errand that doesn't involve getting out of the car, lol. Yesterday we drove a package to the post office to drop in the blue mail box (drive up), and then grabbed burgers at In n Out (drive through). I love America.
