Yeah, I have been crazy. I know i have been. I was reading a pregnancy book the other night and it had a section about nesting and it said that some women feel some urge to get everything clean and organized while others go crazy about it cleaning out every closet, washing all the walls, cleaning curtains...okay yes those are all things that I have done lately. HA! So actually this week I have been trying NOT to nest quite so much. I took the boys swimming...twice. I have been taking them walking with me at the track almost every day. I have been trying to pay more attention to them, and let the house go just a little bit. We've had fun.
As far as baby Sophie goes and when she will be arriving...well, come March 13th she will arrive no matter what. They will be inducing me that day for sure. She is not a big mover, and so I have had to have NST's and have a DR's appt every Monday. So far she is doing well, and so they think I will go full term, but if she shows any signs of distress, then they will bring her here. She freaks me out sometimes though. The other day I hadn't felt her move all day and so I drank some juice and laid down...nothing...an hour goes by....still nothing...another 30 min...nothing. At this point my mind is going crazy, remembering how things were with Harrison. I am sure if anyone took my blood pressure or heart rate at that point it would have been through the roof. Anyways, I was picking up the phone to call a neighbor to watch the kids while I went to the hospital and the baby suddenly started moving...a lot! I was glad. She moved well for the next hour or so.
Anyways, I am getting really anxious and excited for her to get here safe and sound. Ben and I both are. James is too, he remembers her in every prayer. in fact tonight he said "bless baby sophie to get strong, and to be healthy and that when mom pushes her out it won't hurt" He is very sweet. I told him not to worry, that the Dr and Nurses will help me. But.... as we all know it WILL hurt, a lot as I am delivering this one naturally...yikes! When I start to think about that it freaks me out a little bit. But I can do it. So, now it is late, and I am tired and ready for bed. I will post some belly pics tomorrow.

Have you read Natural Childbirth the Bradly method? Heather Allen has it. I would reccomend reading something to prepare for natural childbirth or you just might be out of control. I sure was. I don't remember much but anytime I talk about going natural again Mark is quick to remind me of all the details he would rather not experience again.
YOU FIGURED OUT THE PARAGRAPH THING!! I'm SO proud of you!! And Sophie - I love that name. Gave it to my Arabian horse. How wonderful that you know her by name already. I did natural childbirth EVERY DARN TIME. Even with M, when I'd decided that dang it, I was going to do it like everybody else, finally. No chance. He was too eager to get the heck out of there. I'm glad you are being so careful of your Sophie.
Nice to see you back, and it was fun talking with you the other night. I need to get nesting so we can sell our house. So I had better go. Take a look at Becca's blog. Poor thing. I wish I could go pick her up and take her out for the day.
We need some pics of her cute room! (and your cute belly ;)
You know me. I did the whole total crazy nester going crazy thing too. It's insane. I am more productive when pregnant than any other time!
Finally a post...however, I sent you those pictures...where are they? post them pronto tonto.
You are so cute. I can't believe you are doing this one natural, but hey you'll be able to brag about that the rest of your life. Forget your marathon -- this is a true test of strength and mind over matter. ;o) You'll do awesome!
I AM SO EXCITED TO MEET YOUR SOPHIE!!!!! I cannot wait. I am truly excited for you! I keep thinking "any day she will have her baby..." and then I realize you still have a month and I think..." or not." and I am sad. I want to see her!
