My Growing Family

Changes Changes...everything is always changing. Sometimes we welcome the changes because they feel so good. Other times we cringe as these dark changes come into our lives and we are never the same.

Paint

I was feeling really tired this morning, and super short of breath because Berek is still head up, and enjoys pushing on whatever it is that makes it hard to breathe. So I laid down for an hour or so. I finally got to feeling so down in the dumps that I finally decided to just get up and do something. PAINT!! That's what I'll do. If I start now, I'll be done by tomorrow evening. Well I'll be darned, I got it done in less than 5 hours!! It's so pretty already. I put a disney blue on the top two/thirds of the room, and a disney green on the bottom. I have a Winnie The Pooh border to put between the two colors, and tons of WTP appliques for decoration.

It would figure that after I've bought the paint, and thought for over a year about how to paint her room, she would start loving Princess stuff. Yep. She wants Princess vitamins, pj's, and anything else we can find. But Berek is coming, and I refuse to put him in a princess-themed room. She'll just have to learn to love Winnie the pooh. She still does, but not as much as Princess.

I am 34 weeks and two days. I can feel his head up, and I'm close to starting to worry about what if he doesn't turn? The doc said she can turn him, but what if I have to have a C-section? I am terrified of that. I'd do almost anything to avoid that. Pray for me that it won't happen.

It almost did with Shelbi. I was in labor for 35 1/2 hours. I was still not dilated enough to give birth vaginally, and Shelbi was in distress. My doc wasn't there, and the attending doc said to prep for a C-section. I immediately asked mom to call whoever could pray for me, and the chaplain came up, and we prayed, and lo and behold, my blessed doc came in and said..."Get ready to push!!" 45 minutes later, out came Shelbi!!! Let's hope for a quick labor and delivery with this one. Only 40 more days!!!

I just finished reading Charleston by Alexandra Ripley. It just ended.......WITHOUT A DECENT ENDING!! She's sitting in front of her fireplace trying to decide between Joe and Harry, and then she goes upstairs to bed. THAT IS IT!!! THAT'S HOW IT ENDS!!! Let me know if I'm the only one who feels this way.
