First, I went to see my doctor on Wed, April 1st. She told me that I have a "long ways to go" and that I would FOR SURE have a few more weekends to get things done around the house, etc. She was so sure that I wasn't having that baby anytime soon that she didn't even schedule another appt for me for TWO weeks as she was out of town. She thought there was "no need to see a partner" at the office when I'm not having this baby anyway.
Please note that I love Dr. Simmons at Lakeside OB-GYN. I would recommend her to anyone. At my follow up appointment she simply said, "Well, sometimes God laughs at our plans, doesn't He?" She was honestly super surprised that I went from nothing to baby so quick... something she said we will keep in mind "next time."
So the following Friday I cleaned. I joked that if this was considered "nesting" and a "burst of energy" that I am in trouble. And folks, I was in trouble. Let's be honest here, my house was a little bit of a pit and the nursery was in shambles! We had a great weekend, I got a massage, we did some work at the church (I hosted), and I helped host a bridal shower. But I was MUCH more tired than I had been and I had decided that carrying around 25 extra lbs just does that to you after awhile! Erin, I love you, but I was quite miserable at that shower. Here is a picture from it:
Monday morning the 6th I went to the HR Service Center for our work-- thankfully just down the road and not across town like the hospital where I spend most of my days. Since I work in a hospital, I have to be CPR Certified, and this was my annual CPR Re-certification. This class was only from 8-10 and I had already rescheduled it several times due to my
trips to Colorado (remember, Grandma had been sick and I had been out of work). Boy, I was SO HAPPY to get it done before maternity leave :) The lady signing me in said "If you weren't so high and tight I'd be worried you were having a baby today." I'd like to go back and punch that lady. Famous Last Words.
