A little bit of hope......

It's been a long couple of weeks, and only with the prospect of many more long ones ahead. Most of you know I have big babies......they just don't seem to get smaller.......I've been having some horrible pains the last few weeks. I dragged myself through the holidays the best I could and was lucky enough to get some rest in here and there. My parents have had Georgia since yesterday and Jacob is off to join them until tomorrow. For that I am thankful......thankful for helping hands when I need them, leaving me here wishing that I could just feel better and do more. I had my doctor's appt. today.....29 weeks and counting. She put an urgent referral into physio for me, hoping we can do something to support my belly and help with some of the pains I am having. Hope for me that I can get some things done before this bundle comes in March and that I can enjoy the next couple of months with the kids I do have. Nothing can be more frustrating then not being able to do all you want......I plan any errand very carefully these days so I can do them as quickly as possible. The only really great news that came out of the appt. is that she will induce me by 38.5 weeks..... I might actually get an early baby......mind you I don't want it too early. I want it still to be healthy and able to come home right away..... and even in the 9lbs range.....I do love my big babies!!!!Oh the things we go through to have children!!!! I'm glad I know that it's worth it in the end.

So as I have sat in my bed this afternoon, recovering from being on my feet with the girls at lunchtime I was blog hopping. I'm pretty sure I could easily waste a full day reading others blogs. The things some people do amaze me and make we want to be a better person and work on the talents I have and maybe even find some that I would like to have:) Anyhow, my friend Rhonda in Alberta had a new post today about a lady named Lucy. The story is amazing. It touched my heart and really makes me realize how lucky I am for the things that I have and makes me feel like my struggles aren't as big as I feel they are somedays. I want you to click over to her blog... www.rhondasteed.blogspot.com , read the story, it is amazing and will touch your heart. Maybe you can help support Lucy's cause, someway, somehow but every little bit helps!!!! Till next time.....

Hopefully you get into physio quickly...seeing as my mum is a physio I know how much it can help to relieve discomfort. If you need any help getting anything done or with the kids let me know.

Yahoo for being induced. I'm glad you won't have to suffer through an extra couple weeks of pregnancy and hopefully you can keep this one under 11 lbs!

I hope that the physio can fix you up and relieve your pain!! Good news on the inducing too! Although, I fear your biceps may suffer with a lighter baby! ;) jk

Let the party begin... said...

You're right Kathy, that was and is a beautiful story. I asked Rhonda to let me know if we could help as a ward as well as on a personal level. I hope the time passes quickly for you with all the pain you're feeling. Your mom sounds so much like my mom, gotta love our mothers!
