my due date is tomorrow. not sure if i should be ready for the baby to be evicted or not! i am sure that the highways have been cleared of enough snow to be safe...but i am worried about it freezing over tonight with more sleet. my friend mebbie relayed her harrowing (to me at least and my pregnancy state of mind) story of having to leave her vehicle on the side of the highway last night in order to be rescued by a family friend. my luck usually consists of slightly mitigated worst-case scenarios and so i am envisioning a 2 am labor, getting stuck on I-85 and benson delivering the baby in the back seat...at least he earned his coach card through 40 hours of bradley classes!
the snow has been beautiful and i have really enjoyed having benson at home today. i havent been diligent in updating my blog recently because i have felt really awful. on wednesday my mid-back started killing me out of nowhere (it is slightly on the left side, if anyone with a medical degree has any suggestions!). it has been pretty unrelenting since then. I may have a few hours reprieve, but it has pretty much been my constant companion. the worst part is that it is so severe, that i really have had problems standing or doing anything. i didnt really want to spend the last week (or God help me, 15 days...) of my pregnancy lying on my side with a heating pad...but i guess it is almost over!
all this talk about due dates and the impending introduction of our little one has me a little bit nervous. i think we are ready...but honestly, can any first-timer really be ready? i feel like we are already starting out behind--we dont have names picked out! the shelves remain in their plastic wrappers! the diapers are not completely washed and prepped! we dont have the car seat installed!
please pray for us! pray that two nerdy kids will find the maturity to raise this baby :)
