I don't really know what to say. I promise the next post will have more sunshine and rainbows, maybe even a picture of a baby! And right now, while that old adage of "if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all" is sitting in the back of my mind, I'm ignoring it because I've never listened to it before.
I'm officially out of my good humor.
I feel like I haven't slept for weeks. I don't need to be reminded that once the baby gets here that won't change. Because at least then, I will have a purpose for being awake as opposed to lying awake in physical miserableness, unable to feel my arms for hours at a time, rolling from side to side as my hips scream in pain, waking from the same recurring dream that I'm drowning only to realize that in all reality I truly can't breathe over and over and over again.
And Max has strep throat.
That in and of itself should be a medical miracle given that he's only been out of our house a total of three days over the last 2.5 weeks. Since he's had and conquered the flu, I've been paranoid about taking him out, hoping that our low key days would help insure that we wouldn't get any more illnesses.
I was supposed to be induced tomorrow. But I pushed it back a week to my actual due date, March 5th. I really want labor to come on it's own. I hope that will make the whole ordeal shorter. But now with the way my (bad) luck is piling up, I'm pretty sure that instead of a nice, swift natural labor, I will be sitting in the hospital March 5th being induced and wondering why I didn't do it the week before.
I can't wash my jeans because they will never fit again. I am so tired of my belly hanging out because none of my shirts, even maternity ones are long enough. I don't feel nice anymore. I need a hug. But you shouldn't give me one cause I'm probably carrying strep throat.

Complain all you want! I hope the baby comes soon! :)
I would Hug you anyway even with the risk of Strep Throat! You are so amazing and the best Mom in the world. Your babies are the cutest! After Baby #4 arrives you will feel so much better and hopefully so will Max. Why does the last week feel like it last a year? Just take baby steps. Get through one hour at a time! Hang in there! I wish I could do more! Before you know it you will be snuggling with an adorable Bundle of Love!!! and you know you will say "It was all worth it"
I'm all over giving you a hug. Heck, I'd even cook some thing other than eggs and toast for you! I CANNOT wait to see #4!
Sending virtual hugs! And prayers that this little babe will hurry! Love you guys!
Awww! Hugs and happiness are being directed your way. Also, we tried Castor Oil to start labor with Greta. We mixed it in with some eggs (2 TBSP w/2 eggs) and scrambled them up. Then, because the texture was kinda gross I covered them in salsa. 6 hours later we had a baby. Apparently because of the protein in the eggs there are no undesirable intestinal side-effects.
It's worked for several of my friends. You know, if you get desperate ;)
Ash, gross! But hey, if you're desperate.
Thinking of you Elise, and sending you hugs and prayers. Get here soon, Baby Colton!
