update

Well I am still here....still pregnant, and pretty miserable. My due date was Monday so I am officially overdue. I don't know why it is such a surprise, Brooke was four days overdue. I guess my babies just have a stubborn gene in them, or else they just like being all snuggly inside my belly. The worst part is, is that I am so much healthier this time around yet I am in so much more pain because of this stupid pelvic symbosis thing. It hurts to walk, to lay down, to move. The pain is the only reason why I am getting impatient, and the poor people who attempt to talk to me get their heads bitten off. I have to give a lot of credit to Jason, he's been dealing with my very well, cleaning the house every night and even doing the laundry.

Yesterday I saw my midwife and we picked up some Evening Primrose Oil. I'm taking them orally but I don't think I can bring myself to insert them vaginally. She offered to strip my membranes if I really wanted it, but I declined.....still a little too invasive for me. However I think if the baby hasn't come by the end of the week I will have her strip them, I don't know how much longer I can put up with this pain. The baby however is doing great, heartbeat is still strong, still growing. I'm a little worried that the baby will be big, but not really. I trust my midwives and I trust my body.

Brooke amazes me more every day. She is picking up and learning so much. Her alphabet, she can count to five in English and four in Spanish, so many new words. And she is so considerate of other people when she senses that they are sad. When she sees me in my worst pain she comes and strokes my face, like I do to her when she gets a boo boo, and gives me kisses. Her and Jason are the only things that make me smile these days. She's also got quite the creative streak in her, which she must have gotten from her grandmother, my mom. I posted some pics of projects that we've done this month so far. Also, one day when I was taking a nap my mom decided to make lasagna to freeze for the birth and Brooke helped, and did a great job. So I posted pics of that too.

Well I must go now. Hopefully my next entry will be the announcement of this baby. Ciao!
