- With the help of my husband we finished our vegetable garden. Yay! He finished prepping the soil while I was weeding, watering, and planting. I am sure I was a sight to see crawling around in the dirt with my almost 9 month belly. When i say crawling around in dirt I mean I was literally crawling around!! It is much easier to crawl to the next weed patch than stand, walk, and bend so crawl I did. My husband was busy sweating and chopping soil so only the neighbors dog who was peeking through the fence saw me.
I have always wanted a garden, but living in apartments it proved to be difficult. Since we now live in a home I am beyond excited to have started a garden. We now have 7 jalapenos plants (my husband LOVES them, but sheesh I think he went overboard!), 6 tomato plants, 3 bell pepper plants, peas, radishes, onions, squash, and some herbs. We are already finding little tomatoes and I can't wait for the upcoming months! - Did several loads of laundry for baby and now most of her stuff is ready for her arrival.
- Organized the closet and the kitchen to make room for baby stuff.
- Put together her bed with newly washed mattress liner, sheets, breathable bumper, etc.
- Did a nice clean down of the house.
- Went to 2 doctor appointments (no surprise there!)
- Yoga
- Picked out a dresser for the babies room
- Watched hulu, read a book and slept in everyday.
At this rate I will be done with my huge laundry list of things to do before baby way too soon! I guess I should enjoy it now since once baby gets here nothing will get done I suppose!
Thank you for your comment on my blog. I left you a big long comment when I got home from the hospital but my laptop ran out of battery before I published it and I couldn't face writing it again. Anyhow it had to do with the birth and labour. I was wondering if you had a birth plan and what your doctors are recommending. I went into hospital two weekds before my due date for a week of IV's to get me tip top for an induction a week before due date. The baby ended up coming on his own 9 days early. An early epidural was recommended so I would have enough energy to push. I wanted to labour until about 6cm this time on my own. Well it ended no epidural came until I was in complete agony. Finally when she came and had the needle in I had to lie down for her to administer it and was already crowning. I pushed the baby out in two pushes with no pain medication at all. Seriously painful but the moral of the story is that I did it and the CF didn't hinder me at all! All said and done it was incredibly painful but I'm proud of myself for actually having a completely natural childbirth this time. The best feeling in the world is holding your baby in your arms!! Not long now for you!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing and totally inspirational!! I have been having a lot of fears in how CF will play a part of labor and delivery so it is great to hear such a beautiful successful birth! I decided to write a blog entry about my birth plan so keep an eye out for it. Was your daughters birth similar? How did CF play a role in her birth?
