So, I haven't posted since before New Years because we had to evacuate due to flooding. It really really really was no fun at all. It's still raining, but the electricity is back on and the flooding is down. So everything is pretty safe. We spent like 4 days hanging out in a hotel watching boring tv, and trying not to let Anthony drive everyone crazy. It's good to be back where he can run free for the most part. I'm glad to have my bed back. It's where I spend most of my time. I had the worst time sleeping in the hotel. I don't know if it was the bed, or not being home...or a combination of everything. I don't sleep a lot at home either, but at least I can feel comfortable while not sleeping:) On the ride home there was still a good 4-6 feet of standing water in some places, and tons of people out shoveling mud or cleaning out the lower levels of their houses. The flooding wasn't as bad as it could have been, but the fact that this flood happened so fast is what was traumatizing to peoples homes. No one really had a chance to save anything before the water came through.

Only about 4 weeks until this baby is born, and the husband is home. This is the worst part-- the last month. I'm SOOOOOOOOO uncomfortable all the time, and really hurting. I have a really hard time getting up once I sit or lay down, and walking is a killer. I have to go really slowly, and even that doesn't keep my from having contractions. Sometimes I think "Just keep walking! Then you'll go into labor!" but I can't physically do it. I just get too tired and out of breath so that I HAVE to stop even if I don't want to. Yesterday morning I seriously thought I was going into labor because I woke up in the night with really painful heavy contractions. But they stopped. And then it happened again when I woke up in the morning. But again it stopped on it's own. Oh well*sigh*
I was watching a Baby Story on tv this morning before we came home. I just started crying and crying. And wishing it was me having the baby. I guess that tells you how badly I want to get this over with! :) I just hope Kevin gets to be home for it. I'm hoping.
I get a good laugh when I try to drive my car. I barely fit behind the steering wheel. I have to scoot back and drive with my tippy-toes, and lean the upper part of the seat back to make room for the belly so it's not feeling like it's up in my nose. And then manuevering to get out it funny too. I kinda have to go 1-2-3-shoooooooooove! Hehe...Hopefully I won't have to drive myself to the hospital. That would be interesting.
I go to the doctor day after tomorrow for a check up. *crinkles nose* not really looking forward to that...I'm wondering what she'll have to say about my swollen extremeties though. I think I'm going into toximia like I did with Anthony. In which case I hope they induce cause I just feel like crap all the time being puffy, and it will only get worse as time goes on. (Had to take off my wedding set because it was starting to cut into my finger. Can't wait to put it back on.)

Well this little lady is going to go lay down and watch a movie. And probably fall asleep. Sleep, lovely sleep.
