Intense contractions for Mike, that is. That's right, as I anxiously await feeling some sign that this baby is ready to enter the world, I feel nothing and poor Mike ended up with some serious sympathy pains. I was actually so thankful the baby didn't decide to come this weekend because Saturday morning, Mike got intense back spasms and was in serious pain all day. He ended up taking muscle relaxers and a bunch of ibuprofen and trying really hard to not move. If I'd of gone into labor, he wouldn't have been much good for anything, let alone driving me to the hospital and coaching me through! He's still hurting, but each day it's improving... not exactly how we expected to spend the weekend, but it did force us to lay low and that was good for us both! By last night, my swelling had really improved, so I guess a weekend off my feet was the answer. (Well, somewhat off my feet... I seemed to be in better shape than Mike on Saturday, so I did make a grocery run and tried to do some cooking... but Justine came over and was a huge help and she made me sit down, prop up my feet and supervise...while she did the cooking!!)
It's so hard to believe that the week we've been looking forward to for 9 months is actually here! BabyW is due in 2 days and so far he seems to be pretty comfy just staying right where he is. I know things can change in an instant, but I'm prepping myself that there's a very good chance that next week might be "the week" instead.

So sorry to hear about Mike's back. Continue taking it easy these next few days. We're around if I can help in any way!
ReplyDeleteHope Daddy's better. I've been praying for you as you wait. Keep drinking lots and lots of water for the swelling and to be ready for labor...I know, it makes you pee every 10 min., but you and baby need it! We'll keep praying, and waiitng with you! Love you!
