I hope not more than 5 weeks. Benjamin has officially run out of room and my skin has run out of stretch, yet somehow they both keep growing! It is a wonderous miracle I will never figure out. Just feeling him move and roll from side to side or start his acrobats when I lay in bed to read. Even after 81/2 months I am still in awe of his every movement (well except the ones where he kicks my ovary because those really hurt). Brad's excitement for his arrival is mounting as it is getting closer. Brad unfortunately is in the middle of his busiest season at work, Leaf Season. Leaf season is getting its start much later this year because of our delayed fall. We are just now really starting to see leaves on the ground.
As I am reaching the end of my pregnancy the thoughts about labor have increased but don't scare me. I have only had one night and I dont know if it was a dream or if I was just in deep thought about it, but I got panicked about the whole labor thing. I do plan on getting an epidural because I personally have no desire or ambition about proving I can have a baby without one. I give lots of credit to those who go without one, but I just don't like to be in pain. Intense pain usually makes me pass out, or throw up and on top of everything else with having a baby I don't want to deal with it. I guess I look at it also that God created the person who created the epidural... I am sure there are a lot of people who disagree with me on this, and that is okay.
Anyway... This weekend Danielle and I had our garage sale. We did okay, not great- everything left is going to Miracle Hill or some place like that. It feels so freeing to have all of the clutter from my life gone. I got rid of things that I had collected for many years. I never got rid of clothes because up until pregnancy I could still wear some of the clothes from middle school, but it was time and it feels so good to have the clutter gone!
Last night I began the process of getting Benjamin's room ready. I did the first layer of paint on his walls and started the ceiling, but the ceiling was painted dark brown and it is really hard to cover up with a light blue. My neck started to hurt from looking up at the ceiling so I called it quits for the night. Once the room is all done I will post pictures.
I am supposed to go out of town this coming weekend, but Brad can't go with me because of work, so I have to ask my doctor if she will let me go being so close to Benjamin's due date. It is a meeting for the camp I work at each year since I am on the planning team. It is in Atlanta, but they don't want me going into labor while there and neither do I. Then this weekend is also Brad's little brothers birthday, and my aunt and uncle are going to be in town so I have to make some decisions because I can't do it all.
Well that is my weekend update and all that is going on right now.
