Well, Happy New Year to all my faithful blog readers.
I am not one for resolutions (although, I never fault someone else for making them). So, I will not tell you any resolutions that I have cause, well, I have none. I figure if I will not make the change at another time of year, what makes the beginning of the year so special that I would do it then?!? Know what I mean???
Anyways, I wish a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all and wish you all the best of luck at accomplishing any goals that may be made at this time or any time in this New Year.
Well, I figure it is time that I should show you a belly picture. Michelle, my sister who is also pregnant posted a pic of her belly a couple of weeks ago and I laughed at the fact that despite her being 10 weeks less pregnant that I, we are the same size. So, I guess now would be as good a time as any to show you that.
But before I do, it's not only me who thinks we are the same size. Even my mum said that when she was down here last week.
So, to do the comparison, look at my pic, then go to her blog (linked under 'family and friends blogs') scroll down a couple of posts and compare. Tell me what you think :)
Please pardon my hideousness in the following photographs. I had already showered, but then decided to clean and do laundry and such and really didn't feel like dressing up for the occasion. So, consequently, you get to see me all hideous and well, hideous. So, forgive me.
This is me at 29 weeks and 2 days pregnant.


This pregnancy has been a lot different than the pregnancy with Scott. They are both gentle in their movements (ie. no swift kicks to the gut) and both have been uber-geneous at not using my bladder as a squeeze toy, BUT...gotta love the 'but'...I am in a lot more pain during this pregnancy. My back and my hips are so sore that at time I can barely walk after getting out of bed. It's almost to the point of being crippling to a point. I am seeing the chiropractor regularly again and am hoping that it will really help. I could be in worse shape because my body got used to being adjusted properly through frequent chiropractic visits and then the pregnany loosened my limbs and I became unadjusted properly (for lack of a better term). So, to say the least, hopefully, seeing the chiropractor again will help.
I am due on Mar. 17 and I am currenly praying that I will deliver on Mar. 17...no earlier, no later. I want to go be induced (going on the assumption I will need the meds to help her arrive, like Scott) on Sunday Mar. 16, so I will deliver sometime on the 17th. And if I happen to go into labour on my own, I hope it's not til really close to midnight on the 16th, so I can have her on the 17th. As you can see, I really want her on the 17th and am attempting to plan it. SO, if you feel the desire to pray for my wish, I would greatly appreciate it.
Now, to answer all your questions which is "Why, the 17th?".
Well, her name is going to be Erin. Erin means 'Of Irealand'. Would it not then be appropriate to be born on Saint Patty's Day??? Oh, yeah, and I bought a shamrock Christmas ornament that I want to engrave her name and birthday on for her for next year. Once agin, shamrock ornament, with Mar. 17 engraved on it...it just makes sense.
Now that you all think I am legally insane and can be commited, I will end the post with my one goal of the New Year to give birth on Mar. 17, 2008. Wish me luck. :)
