Day 68: Freedom

As I said yesterday, I'm having less contractions now than when I was on bed rest and medications.  Go figure!  I am now getting to the uncomfortable point that I've heard of so many pregnant women complaining about their last few weeks.  I'm starting to get back pain, it's getting more difficult to bend over, and I get tired easily. So the end of this pregnancy is becoming less and less of a risk and more like any other pregnancy.  Thus, I've been using my freedom to be up and around.  I've enjoyed a normal Saturday with lots of errands (we had a lunch of samples at Sam's Club, got some groceries, went to the bank, returned items to the library) and some chores (dishes, bathroom cleaning, and laundry).  We also went to to dinner with J's family and although all these things were pretty mundane, it's nice to be able to do them, especially since all is quiet with this pregnancy.  That said, I am getting more and more impatient to have the baby.  I'm thinking next Thursday would be nice, but I know I can't choose.  I'm just getting worried now that J's starting to take on more shifts the week after next (he works nights) and my mother-in-law will also be out of town.  I'll have to get a back-up driver and babysitter . .. tomorrow.  The baby can't come between the 1st and 6th of March, but knowing that, he probably will.  But then again, who knows because as I said, nothing's happening at this point.
