I am SO proud to have come this far!
Sweet Pea is still hanging in there believe it or not :) A part of me feels like my princess knows how much i'd like her to be born in July (at least then I can say my two girls were born in June and July! Lol) and is doing everything she can to fight against nature and stay in until then.
With all these symptoms and signs, it's actually shocking she's still hanging in tight.
I'm actually really enjoying the anticipation and excitement everyday brings now of 'is this my last lunch pregnant' 'is this my last night pregnant' 'is this my last trip to the park pregnant'....etc.
This AM I lost more of my mucus plug. Just another reality of how close we are getting to meet our little one. The cramping had subsided last night and I was feeling excellent this AM.
Not wanting to go or be very far from home this close to labour, I asked Nya what park she wanted to spend the day at and picnic at with me today. We are so fortunate to live in an area surrounded by gorgeous parks and forestry.
She anxiously said 'The water park!!!'.
Well, then the water park it is, I said :)
As we ate our breakfast I packed our picnic lunch. We were going to head to Chingcousy Park for the day; a fantastic rubber park with a splash pad attached and petting zoo a few feet away. The same place we 'chased Canadian geese' a few months back. Ha ha ha ha ha
In any case, feeling great and packing our lunches, I recieved a call from one of the mom's I use to daycare for. We run into each other all the time now and our girls spend many an afternoon playing together like old times :)
She wanted to see how I was feeling today and what our plans were. When I told her the details, she asked if she and her daughter could come along with us. She was even sweet enough to offer to drive Nya and I in fear I might go into labour at the park. Ha ha
I kindly let her know I'd be ok and that we'd meet them both there.
Long story short, we met at Chingcousy Park for 11:30am. By the time Nya and I pulled up, I started feeling a little nauseous.
Unloading our few things from the car and walking to the park, I started to feel even worse. I was feeling pressure down below and my tummy was a little topsy turby.
Not wanting to dissapoint my big girl, I just pushed through it and walked VERY slowly to the park to meet my friend. 'I just need to make it to a bench and I'll be ok!' I said to myself.
We reached the park and I found a seat on the side of the park where I could watch Nya play; my friend met us there shortly after and the afternoon began.
Sitting in the hot sun, trying to soak up as many rays as possible (I've been getting so golden brown this summer from all the park trips with Nya :D ) I started to feel a bit more queasy and nauseous.
My sweet friend was kind enough to leave me in the shade to cool off and hopefully feel better as she took our two girls around the park and push Nya in the swing. She was such a blessing to me today. I didn't want to rain on Nya's parade with how I was feeling, so she graciously took my spot and made sure Nya was having the best of fun with her daughter when I couldn't.
After some time at the park, we headed home around 1pm for a quick lunch and a nap. Naptime is something I take part in every afternoon with Nya now to try and get as much rest as possible for D-day.
When we got home, my chest was tingling like crazy and almost doubled in size!!! I was like 'Woah....where did these girls just come from!!!'. Lol They were very tingly at the park, but I didn't realize they had grown in size :O lol
Nya and I ended up having a fantastic sleep this afternoon; 2.5hours to be exact.
Right now we are both up, awaiting daddy to come home from work and preparinf dinner for tonight; steak, ribs, spaghetti squash, corn on the cob and diced tomatoes. My appetite is back a little right now, so I want to take advantage of this high and eat well.
The last three days I haven't been feeling all that well to eat; my appetite hasn't recovered since Sunday PM.
I can't help but ask myself again 'could this be my last dinner pregnant??!!'. Lol
These types of questions will be on going I think until Sweet Pea finally decides to come. Lol
Here is Sweet Pea and I watching big sister Nya at the park today :)
