One week to go!

Well, I'm inside a week, and had some pretty serious contractions earlier in the week. I thought for sure we would have had her this week. I'm feeling as big as a house and about as mobile! I am kicking around the idea of going natural, without an epidural. I hate recovering from that hole in my back! Plus it makes it harder to get started with exercising. I welcome any thoughts from anyone! Right now, I just want to nap. It's a little difficult with two other children to care for, and I do get in an occasional nap when my husband is done working for the day. He pretty much takes over with the kids in the evenings, making dinner, baths, homework, reading to them & putting them to bed. As huge as I am, I would have a hard time doing it alone! I don't know how single moms do it!

My husband told me all about how great of a workout he just got from doing Team Beachbody's P90X. On the outside, I tell him how glad I am that it's him & not me. On the inside, I'd rather be exercising with him than carting around these extra fifty pounds! P90X is the fitness and nutrition program we were doing when I got pregnant. I fully plan on getting it going again in a couple of months. The workouts are really hard, but boy, do they work!

Right now, I just want the doctor to call back and say: "Mai, just go to the birthing center, we'll hit you up with some patossin and get that baby out of you!". Oh, that would be nice! OK, off to the sofa to put my cankles up!

Until next time,

Mai
