Thoughts and 9 days remain

This is going to be a long ramble.  I felt Ethan moving around like crazy and it made me laugh.  I talked to him and he was wiggling so cute.  It is weird to feel him so active and think in a week I will see him so active.  I'll get to hold him and rock him and give him lots of kisses.  I look over at the playyard and realize he will be in there!

This week I went to school Monday and work was tough.  Walking hurts so bad!  I teach one class that is upstairs on the opposite side of my classroom.  I call it the walk of pain.  I went to the chiropractor and he adjusted me and helped me some.  The biggest help was the ice storm we had Monday night.  I was able to be on voluntary bed rest this entire week thanks to the ice and snow that the Superbowl Steelers and Packers brought with them.   I've gained weight too.  Which is good because I lost a lb at my last appointment. 

I made a to do list I wanted to complete before Ethan arrived.  I think I was procrastinating the list because if I had nothing to do then he could come at any time and I had all the time to stress and get nervous.  But the truth is, I am ready.  He could come at any time and it would be ok.

My sister Cindy had her son two weeks early.  By this time he was already home.  So weird that if that were me I would already be holding Ethan right now.  Sigh.  I love my baby.  I can't wait to meet him.
