I have been timing my contractions for the past hour, they are about every 6 min or so. They are strong but not overwhelming. Craig has been cleaning the house and while he was doing dishes, I found it comforting to press my face into his back while I breathe and sway, who knew that would be part of my coping :) I texted Karen to let her know how I am doing and also let Mandy know that she may be in her own teaching childbirth class today. Cooper woke a little while ago and I nursed him back to sleep, I quietly cried as I realized that it might have been the last time nursing just him.
The sun is coming up, I think I might take a walk outside in the fresh air. I have some coloring pages I have been eager to work on, so that might be part of my morning too.
I have been drinking some water and ate a banana and some bread. Craig has started working on filling the birth tub, it takes forever to fill and should stay hot for a while, so he figures better to start now, just in case.
As I type this I have tears in my eyes, this pregnancy has been so wonderful. I love being pregnant, feeling the baby in my body, I love how my body looks when I am pregnant and I love how I feel. I just cant believe it Being pregnant with my best friend has truly been the biggest blessing. Everything about this experience has been better because of her. I am SO sad for it to be coming to an end, I want her to go into labor right now so we can transition to the next part together too.
Next step...spending some time saying goodbye to this belly so I can get excited about meeting this baby! Craig and I are still struggling with names, I hope it comes out with a name tag :)
