...until my due date. Yay!!
Yesterday, Evelyn dropped!! So far it has been absolutely lovely because my hips are not hurting any more than they have the entire time, but I can actually breathe! I did not realize how short of breath I was. Also, bending over is much more doable. It no longer makes me feel like all of my insides are being squished up towards my throat.
I think that my surge in energy is a result of her dropping. It would make sense that I would have more energy if I had more oxygen, right? Or maybe it's just nesting=)
Either way, I have felt great since yesterday afternoon. So great, in fact, that I have had the totally irrational thoughts, "Maybe I'm not pregnant anymore.....I had her and have no memory of it." And, "I can stay pregnant like this forever!!"
My sister Sarah is here with me for a week, and Kristin (Brett's sister) spent the night last night too. They probably both wish that I was not feeling quite so energetic because we all painted the bathroom last night until about 10:30. The bathroom is finally coming together, though there are still quite a few smaller things that need to be done. It is going to look really nice when it is all done....or at least much better than it did before!
With Nate, I was concerned that his room be ready before he arrived. With Evelyn, I want the bathroom to be finished. =) I suppose that's part of the difference between a first and a second child!
Only 3 more days until Brett returns!!! Nate and I have missed him very much, but I have truly felt God's hand on us this entire time and it has not been nearly so bad as I imagined and feared. All of you who have been praying for me are very appreciated!
Now I am going to dive into my to-do list and try to not "over-do" it, since Brett is very concerned that I will. Ahhh, he knows me too well. =)
