Week 38
So I officially have two more weeks until my due date... Nothing has happened since my little incident on Friday except increased discomfort and more swelling. It was a 90+ degrees today so that did not help at all. Heat + being prego = unhappiness... We blasted the central AC all day, but it didn't seem to help with the swelling. At this point I don't think anything will. We were out and about for most of the day today doing errands, going to appointments...
So there was a water main break yesterday so we are on a boiling water order. Ironic that one day after I get out of the hospital and am ordered to drink more fluids that I can't drink water! We went to Target in the AM, but was about 2 minutes to late. We saw everyone in the store had cases of water in their carts, but by the time we made it to the aisle, there was nada... We asked an employee and he told us they had just put out 7 palettes and that it had flown off the shelves in 15 minutes! As one final attempt we stopped by Market Basket since it was on our way back home and found some cases still sitting on the shelves... I'm sure they were all gone within 1/2 hour of us leaving, if not sooner... Everyone was piling it into their carts. We grabbed a few cases to last us a few days and grabbed one for my mother in law as well... Now that we're stocked with the drinking water, the other needs for water remain. Freddie has been boiling water all day so we have some on hand to brush our teeth, do dishes or cook. The dogs are drinking bottled water for now just to be safe - I don't want to give them the boiled water. I think all that boiling and having the gas stove on most of the day made it even more hot in the house even with the AC on... It's definitely been a pain in the ass... And Freddie's on my case about using hand sanitizer every time I wash my hands to get the untreated water off my hands... Plus since my hospital trip he's on my case about drinking water non-stop... He's become a dictator and I'm just too tired and in pain to argue...
I'm actually too tired and in pain to argue with anyone these days... And so sleep deprived. Friday night, or more like Saturday morning, I didn't fall asleep until 6:30am! I don't know if it's because I'm anxious, but I just had a million thoughts racing through my mind all night that kept me up... I think that trip to the hospital woke up me and made me face the imminent reality... Every day now I wake up and wonder if today is the day... I want to meet him, but at the same time feel like I want him to stay inside a bit longer because I'm not ready... But I'll probably never be really ready... We'll see how tonight goes... I hope I can get a few hours in since I have to go to work in the morning. Work... Something that I really dread these days... Sitting in that uncomfortable chair all day in front my laptop is just brutal!
