Time to rest is sweet and I intend to savor every moment before Connor comes to play. And we have time. I had a wonderful birthday July 5 Tuesday. Slept in until 10:30am recovering from fireworks with friends in the valley.
Had a delicious lunch with my mom and dad and hubby at Babbo's at Stanford shopping center after which we went to Macy's and were blessed with a generous grandmother to be who had not yet bought any "fun" things for baby.
While leaving the center we stopped by Sprinkles and had the surreal experience of using the secret word to get a free cupcake. All four of us!! That was fun. And decadent dark chocolate. Mmm.
The end to my birthday was a nice quiet BBQ with friends, talking and sharing corn, zucchini and rib-eyes. A wonderful day.
July 6 - my second day of time off for baby prep - a quick doctor check at 10:15 am turned into hospital food for lunch
(which was pretty good penne chicken Alfredo) and testing until 2:30pm. My blood pressure and heart rate were very high and they wanted to rule out preeclampsia.
Connor's fine and I'm fine but his amniotic fluids are still around 8 so we will check again this Friday. I dropped off some disability papers at the medical records department then went and got some free gas and car washes. A pretty successful day. Rested and slept and drooled on my pillow until it was time to go to bed. Ha ha, what's up with drooling when you try to sleep during the day?
July 7 - 8:12 am and I'm still in bed. It was 7:56 when I started writing about the air outside. Gonna rest a bit more since I still get up every hour or half hour out of habit now I think. But I was able to breathe and I praise God for that. I had no stuffiness or swollen throat. The end is near. The plan is to drop off some clothes for a friend, walk in the pool, then be here when they come to fix our kitchen lights. That's the haps in the Baby Kicks world.
