Wow, the 36th week of pregnancy FLEW by - compared to the last several weeks of bedrest. What a welcome change! Last week I chronicled the pumpkin patch visit and this week was full of interaction with the outside world. And, thanks to God, I was able to work the ENTIRE week at work! I was sore, sore, sore the first few days/nights and was waddling due to a little bit of back pain, but overall I felt really wonderful to be up.
It won't last long, but even being able to load/unload the dishwasher without any guilty feelings was super! We have eaten at the table for the first time in a LONG time - something I really value - and I was able to cook for the hubbin. Sweet love.
Speaking of him, he got me such a special treat! I love flowers ... and he surprised me with a "getting up day" treat. Here they are! (sorry so dark ... still learning our manual camera exposure.)
Roses and peruvian lilies - a girl's best friend!
Working has given me a sense of fulfillment that I haven't had in a few months, so I am so thankful for that!
We are impatiently waiting little Baby girl Shunk's arrival - at our weekly doctor's appointment nothing had changed from bedrest through the week that I was up. I, honestly, was expecting something to happen when my change in gravity/weight happened, but NOPE! She's just content to be inside a little bit longer. The only changes that happened were increased back/heel/rearend pain. Haha. One day she felt very, very low (pressure) but hasn't since then. So, we're not sure when she'll come. :-)
Finally, here is a little fall composition that our pumpkin patch treasures yielded. Hope you are enjoying fall as much as I am!! Oh how I love the cooler air and trees changing and thoughts of pumpkin spice lattes and, oh my! :-)
Cheers!
