Just wanted to touch base really, here. I need to go to bed. I am just so exhausted today that it's not funny. I have had to do so much lying on the floor or sofa and dozing while the boys run riot around me today. I feel so tired right now that I feel nauseous. That's why I am GOING TO BED! Right now! But I wanted to update first to day that there's no news.
I have to say I was a bit bummed about it earlier today because it's the 14th, and ALL my children have been born between the 9th and 14th of the month, as I have been banging on about for ages! ;) So, Samuel is not going to be squished into the mould his mummy is trying to fit him into, hehe! I do hope he comes soon though. It has now been 3 full weeks that I have not managed well physically from Tuesday onwards - just exhaustion-wise really - and it's Wednesday tomorrow. I desperately need to sleep half the day tomorrow but unless I have signs of impending labour enough for Neil to stay home, I know that won't happen. Night sleep is nice, but I just don't have enough energy to make it through the day all the same! So tired.
Late morning today, I did notice a LITTLE bit of mucus plug when I wiped after going to the loo. Too little an amount to get excited about though, and not a show or anything. Nothing since, though I've been checking like a crazy woman all day long!
The pressure I am feeling in my groin and almost in my buttocks really, is overwhelming at times. He just feels so HEAVY in there, and it's a rather unnerving sensation to walk about with that kind of weighty pressure. It's uncomfy! And my hip pain is still there but staying that bit more manageable which is good. He is definitely low down now! I have had some sore tightness in the small of my back and occasionally the front of my bump low down, but not all the time, or in contracting waves or anything. Quite a few strong BH contractions though, and some of those were distracting enough with their overwhelming tightness to make me have to stop what I was doing. But not painful at all.
This evening I have no particular signs or symptoms. I'm just worn right out and tired to the bone. I'm so hoping for a deep restful sleep, but I do not think I have left myself enough hours to refresh myself! I found my birth plan (exactly the same as Benjamin's one that Heather had me do last time) on the computer and checked it over, and then phoned my mum for a chat, and wrapped a LOT of Christmas presents which arrived from Amazon and eBay and so on today. My mum sends everything here for the boys from Amazon, since she's in France, and I love wrapping presents so I always tell her not to gift wrap them! Stuff that I've been buying for the boys is also on its way this week, so I am just getting everything wrapped as it arrives. I had a lot of wrapping to do tonight and did finish it, but it left me feeling just nauseous and exhausted, so I am going to bed!
Onto December 15th tomorrow then, and 2 days past my due date. Surely it can't be long now?! He's engaged and Heather said that a 5th baby who is engaged will not likely hang around there for long (just like the midwife said). I wonder if I'll go into labour tomorrow? We'll see. I will update when I have news of any sort! :)
Any more guesses for the date/time/weight of Samuel's arrival? Mine is already wrong, lol! I guessed this evening but oh well. I hope he comes soon. At the same time as hoping I can just blink really hard and have him here in my arms without having to go through labour and the whole scary placenta issue. Going to pray through my prayer lists now, and then sleep. Night night!
