Crowded Clint

Clint is getting bigger and bigger.  I swear every morning I wake up my stomach is popped out even more.  To my horror my belly button is almost completely popped out.  Just like a turkey button timer.




He is running our of room in the U-tel [uterus-hotel].  The newest not so fun thing is that he gets right on my sciatic nerve [on my back].  It literally brings tears to my eyes.  For three straight days he was position righted there ... I tried everything to get him to wiggle around out of that zone.  I tried stretching, laying on the floor with my legs on the wall and hips up in the air, on all fours doing various yoga poses [down dog, cat posture, etc.]  I even tried crying but nothing worked.  But, amazingly this morning I woke up and he moved in the night.  YAYAYAYAYAY! 

Dan said the other night he sick of this and ready for him to be here already.  I had to giggle to myself ... your sick of this well try carrying a  30 lb backup in front of you for a couple days, THEN you will be sick of it.  It is nice to see him getting excited about his arrival.  Of course this has not motivated him to remove the mattress that was originally in Clint's room from the hallway.

So this is the list of things to do over the next couple of weeks:
Pack my bag for the hospital
Pack Clint's bag = DONE 
Put the car seat in my truck
Tour the Birth Center
Attend a breastfeeding class
Start having Braxton Hicks contractions - not sure if this has started or not
Wash his cloth diapers - waiting for the "special" laundry soap to arrive to do this

I am sure there is more but I am getting tuckered out ....... off to get our much needed rest
