Tuesday morning Trevor and I worked/played downstairs until Al got up then they went outside and shoveled before lunch and nap (T didn't nap). during nap time I had my 40 week midwife appointment. my blood pressure was down, baby's heartrate was down a little (but that's ok because it's been really high), and everything checked out ok. she checked my cervix and I was 2 centimeters dialated but she could easily make it a 3 with her finger. she could feel baby's head and I wasn't very thinned out but she wasn't worried. she also stripped my membranes while in there which can start up labor, but it didn't. afterwards, I ran to kohl's and target for a few things and was pretty crampy the rest of the night (which typically happens after stripping the membranes). but no labor and no baby that night.
Wednesday morning was super cold so trevor and I just stayed inside and did a bunch of crafty/play things. I finally remembered to pre-register at the hospital (was supposed to do that 2 weeks ago) so that I don't have to fill out paper work when I get there in labor.
Al worked Wed & Thurs then was off for the weekend. we didn't do a whole lot the rest of the week due to snow, cold, and being so pregnant and uncomfortable. Al and trevor shoveled Thursday after nap.
mom came down Friday after nap and Al went to pick up our new water heater with her vehicle. once he got it home and matt and Al got it downstairs, Al unpackaged it and saw it had a huge dent in it. so Al hauled it back up, out to mom's car and back to menards; ugh! so frustrating! he returned it and is now back to the plan of fixing our current one; hopefully he gets something up and running soon because these half full, luke warm baths aren't helping quite as much as a real warm bath would. mom and trevor went outside to shovel the back patio and play Friday before supper.
Saturday we just played inside in the morning, then mom and I ran to shopko during nap to try to walk the baby out (didn't work), and by the time we came out it was snowing and snowed all night (we got another 3 inches). Al made chicken wings for supper and mom and I continued on with our 8th puzzle in 1 week.
sunday morning was more playing inside, puzzling, but not getting outside because it was so windy. after supper, all 3 of us played monopoly junior and it was a nice long game that dadda beat us bad at. that night I went over to Jodi's house to watch the bachelor and matt came over to watch wrestling with Al.
Monday morning, trevor and I ran a bunch of errands and then came home and scraped the driveway, swept out the garage and played in the snow since it was so nice out! 45 degrees! then in for lunch, woke up Al, and I ran to get my prescription for the hemorrhoids (which didn't turn out to be there; called midwives at 812am didn't get called back and offered the prescription until 11, walgreens still didn't have it at 120 and didn't even end up getting it that day; so frustrating!) after nap time (T didn't nap) we went back outside while Al got ready for work (Al worked on the water heater during nap time and got the new heating elements in; time will tell if it works better); then inside for supper and a movie before early bedtime.

40 weeks and counting... uffda, I've been feeling pretty good and sleeping pretty good but man it's getting uncomfortable! we're trying to be very patient but there's so many unknowns. my feet and hands are swollen most of the time. I have hemorrhoids now too which were just a little annoying until sunday when they started to hurt. bending over is hard as is sitting upright, I just end up squishing her. I've had several days where I've lost part (?) of my mucus plug so at there's little signs that something might happen. Saturday night the couple contractions got a little more uncomfortable so I thought maybe something would happen, but nope.
before nap one day this week, trevor kissed my belly and said "love you baby sister" all on his own, I didn't prompt him with anything. it was so cute!
