Emotional Renewal

Well, it seems that I have caught a second wind. Some folks say that's a "sign" that Maddie is on her way, but duh... I am closer to the end than the beginning so I don't think that statement can be validated in any way. My second wind isn't really physical, and it doesn't consist of me cleaning the house in any crazy manner (if you haven't been to my house I should tell you it is ALWAYS spotless)Rather I feel emotionally renewed. At the time of my last post I was hating life (not really, just being pregnant still), but over the last couple of days it seems that I have come back around. I owe it to the fact that I have stopped anticipating labor starting every minute and just waiting on it. How silly of me, to stress about something I have NO control over.

Anyway, I am 40 wks on Sunday and go to doctor on Monday for a check up. The doctors here will discuss induction at 41 wks not before, so I will keep you posted.

As of today I am enjoying my Saturday night sitting on the back porch with my other girls (the cats) watching them watch the birds at the feeders Mike put up this week. Mike had a few days off this week and really got busy outside. He pressure washed the house, redid the mulch in the flower beds, weed eated, trimmed the bushes and trees, even fertilized the yard. Everything looks fantastic! I think if anyone nested during this pregnancy it was him.

I will try to post some pics of his hard work tomorrow. The flower bed especially looks great!

Well hope everyone is doing great and I will be intouch.
