Well it's 11am the day after my baby was due. Yesterday was a great day with my kids, they are really understanding of how mommy feels, well most the time they are. My children contracted a head cold a week ago and then of course mommy got it now. I was planning on posting yesterday but my body ached ALLLLLLLL day and on top of that I acquired a head ache and just didn't feel good all together. The strange thing is my kiddos were very well behaved yesterday even with me not feeling well. Unusually they are not to keen on listening when mommy doesn't feel well. I would like to thank my parenting class that I have been taking each week for over a month now. I really feel as if I am connecting with the information they are giving me and using as I can at home. With my body yesterday I was (and still am) in desperate need of rest before labour kicks in. I went to bed early and besides getting up and down to pee slept most of the night. I woke this morning feeling a bit better but still cloudy headed and aches all over again. Tylenol and a eucalyptus facial steam are in the future. I can thank my night of rest to a great best friend who called out of nowhere and offered to take my two little ones for the evening. I was floored by her offer, yet apprehensive at it as well. My children haven't stayed at a friends house without me at all. They have stayed at family members homes before all night actually plenty of times. My besty also lives 30minutes away which makes me nervous because they aren't right next door. I am sure that plenty of moms can understand where I am coming from with them staying so far away. I know they are OK and they are being taken care of so I can take care of myself. I spoke with them before bed last night and the first thing my little man asked me was if the baby had come yet. I told him no not yet but we will just have to wait and see. He is so excited to meet his new baby sister. he is all about being home when the baby is born, but yesterday he told me that he would be OK with not being there so that if they did something bad while i was having the baby I wouldn't get mad at them. He told me I need to focus and be able to have the baby without getting mad. I sure do Love him and he surprises me everyday with how smart he is!
To be honest about it it is not a bad thing that my new little one has decided to change up the plan. With me having this head cold and my mother in law having it as well I feel as if I am not physically able to be at home right now and birth my baby. The whole thought of not being at home makes me super sad and even more of a push to get myself feeling better. Plus talking to my midwife yesterday I found out that her birthing mommas are going out of order this month. Two of the women that she had due at the end of the month both went into labour this past week. She was waiting for a call from one of them to deliver for her yesterday. So it was a great thing I didn't go into labour yesterday anyway. Who knows when she will make her arrival, I just really hope to be feeling better before then. I will keep you all posted as things progress. Have a good day and plan on hearing from me soon! :0)
