Winding Down

We are definitely in the homestretch of this pregnancy. My Braxton Hicks contractions have increased and some of them are even accompanied by a little pain. In the past week, I have been woken up by the a few times. I guess everything is warming up for the big day.

My dreams have gotten more intense lately, too. Last night, I dreamt that Monkey was born and no one would let me see him or feed him. He went two days without food and without having anyone change his diaper. I was frantic. Then I woke up.

I also had a dream where water was rushing into wherever I was. I woke up panicked that maybe that meant my water broke. Nope – just more worry-related dreams.

Not knowing when Monkey is going to arrive is kind of exciting, though. I kind of like that it isn’t something we can plan down to the minute. When it happens, it happens, and we’ll be ready. No, my bag isn’t packed. Yes, I have packed a bag for the baby. The reason I haven’t packed a bag is because our place is already super empty. I figure there isn’t much I’d be able to bring anyway, so there’s no need to live out of a suitcase for what may end up being a very long month.
