Hello Friday
::: My work had a golf tournament today, so I didn't have to go. A whole day at home? Weird!
::: I have done two loads of laundry thus far, and hope to do two more.
::: I plan on dust mopping and vacuuming the floors. I could do this everyday at my house and it still need it. Love my animals but they are high maintenance!
::: Tomorrow I will be 41 weeks. Wow!
::: I am asked if I have had a baby about five times an hour...
::: So instead it's your turn to answer me please:
- What do you do for fun on summer nights? (preferably cheaper ideas!)
- What do you eat for dinner in the summer???

How I am Feeling
I get asked this numerous times an hour now. So here is the update:
- For the first time in this pregnancy I am definitely uncomfortable. It's a blessing that I have felt so well until now and I can't complain.
- He must of dropped some, because I now have to pee every ten minutes. And walking around is a weird feeling, the bottom of my bump is heavy.
- I can barely breathe. This is very tied into the chest pain I am experiencing.
- I am walking so slowly! Ha!
- There is no comfortable way to sleep. I can't really lay down, so I am mostly sleeping sitting straight up on the couch.
- Getting going in the morning is the worst. Every part of my body hurts. But once I have moved around for awhile I feel much better.
So overall I am uncomfortable. The Lord is letting me understand why so many women are begging for the baby to come out early. I get it. This is not super fun. But it is not unbearable.
I still want to wait for Griffin to come on his own. I am still praying my body will go into labor naturally and not have to be induced. I am trusting God that ultimately He has a plan for Griffins birth, and I want to just accept whatever that is (even if it's totally different than the natural experience I am hoping for). Is it getting hard to mentally and emotionally cling to this, you bet! But the Lord said we would have many trials while living in this fallen world, and His word is always true.

40 Week OB Appt
Went back to the doctor yesterday. I had a non-stress test first then saw the doctor. I am just not a fan of the non-stress test at this point. You lay on a bed, and they prefer you to actually lay on your back slightly reclined, and they strap two monitor belts to your belly. One picks up baby's heartbeat and the other picks up your contractions. They usually want you to lay there at least 20 minutes.
Griffin doesn't like this thing. I think he doesn't like when I am on my back. Anyhow, he moved a lot so she had a hard time getting his heartbeat to pick up consistently at first. To me, it would make more sense to have me lean up or even on all fours, bc gravity would naturally bring baby to the monitor. But what do I know? After she finally got us situated I had to lay there for around 40 minutes. Ugh! With these chest pains, laying down is the worst thing ever! (yes the chest pains continue on, griff has just run out of room)
Griffin's heartbeat is great, so no worries. I only had two light contractions the whole time. So then it was time to see the doctor. I walked in, and the nurse told me to dress down. I barely had time to before he came rolling in. This doctor was on warp speed and I didn't like it one bit. He quickly checked me (like 2 secs) and said everything was the same. Then he measured me and said Griffin is still growing. He was practically out the door before I could get any questions in- 2 min tops! Ugh! I did manage to ask if Griffin's head was more engaged before he ran out the door. He said yes, but I don't feel like he was so very observant so whatever.
I hope Griffin waits for Dr.Gass!
