So it turns out only 15% of women actually have their water break. So much for all that drama on TV. The BH have been so on and off now that I’m completely unfased by the fact they happen. I thought it meant we were getting closer to the real arrival and the real deal. Now, if I was honest with myself, I’d say that he doesn’t really feel ready at all. It doesn’t feel right. Oh, but gosh I’m ready. I want to see what he looks like and feels like. Even more so, I’m ready not to be pregnant any more. I forgot what it was like to sleep comfortably or wear normal clothes. I know it takes a while to get back, but statistics say 12 lbs are gone after labor- think of the baby, placenta, water, blood… Then the first week or two you lose 4 more lbs just in water weight alone. My little e-mail updates are telling me to go get a nursing bra. I think I’m going to wait. I might buy one from the lactation consultant, but other than that, I’m going to wait until my milk comes in- if it comes in. New worry for the week. I really don’t feel any different since I got pregnant. I can still wear the same bra, just a little fuller. I think waiting is a good idea- who knows what size I’ll need. I still feel pretty active- if I rest. Of course  Fridays are really hard, but Sundays I feel wonderful- walk around the neighborhood, do the chores, do some gardening… Last week of work. I need to make sure my principal  knows Friday is my last day. I hope I make it until Thursday so I can finish grades and get CUM folders done for the sub. Well, I had my drink. See if I can get back to sleep for a bit. I’m sure it’ll be a long week.
