Ugh! SO FREAKIN TIRED! last night had contractions coming 5 mins apart, headed down to the hospital. Had to take the kids to my mothers house, got there about 12 am. They of course wernt very happy and were very sleepy. Went to the hospital ( which at this point is about 1.5 hours away and 4 hours after contractions started ). Hooked up to the monitor and they were coming 4-6 mins apart, checked with no progress ( still at 50 % and 1cm ). So they had me climb the dreaded flights of stairs and walk for 4 hours. Checked again, no progress contractions feeling the same so as of 6 am they sent us home. Hubby and I had been awake for over 24 hours at that point, then went and picked the kids up who were running on 3 hours of sleep only to have a long drive home screaming...Today has been terrible. almost 5 pm and my contractions are gone now, only painless braxton hicks...and I've been up for about 34 hours...wooo hooo!

I had some of the worst rib pain, ever on the way home from work today...took my breath away...

I almost thought it was contractions or something--but it was up on my back--under my right shoulder blade? I think it's the baby stretching???

I almost had to pull over because I felt like puking and/or passing out.

When I made it home, I had to sit in the car about 10 minutes before I could get out & my legs were numb....it was not fun.

It's worse when I'm sitting and doesn't go away with stretching or bending....walking seems to be the only thing that helps--besides floating in a warm bath of Epsom salts, an extra-strength Tylenol and bed!

I've wanted to eat nothing but EGGS. Eggs eggs eggs! not fried and not scrambled, but Hard Boiled! YUM! Funny, through this whole pregnancy eggs (and sausage) have been my MOST favorite foods! First trimester I couldn't hardly eat anything, then second trimester I was all about scrambled eggs, eggs with onions, eggs with onions and mushrooms, omlets......followed secondly by PANCAKES.

oh dang. those sound good right now, too.

Baby Girl has me so squished up inside, that she's in my ribs most! didn't have that with the other babies that much. half afraid she's going to be my biggest baby, and that might make me welcome the c-section.

but. back to eggs.

I can't get enough of them! Right now, I'm eating 3 hard boiled eggs. I can't eat a whole lot at once, because she's squished everything up, so it's mostly 4-5 small meals for me - and the kids think they should eat with me and I'm like no you get the big meals.


sigh.


and

I've built up this beautiful wardrobe for her (gotta love yard sales and thrift stores!) and I just can't wait to see her and put little dresses on her.....

sigh...

so so ready for it to be September

I accidently ate 6 eggs yesterday because I am craving them so much! I'm right there with you

 

[Rare Feathers Farm]

One of mine was French toast! I crave it constantly! And ice cream. Of course, I cannot have either with my blood sugar issues--well, not that I'm supposed to. I eat the "fake" Splenda ice cream pretty much every night....
