Update 11/22

I survived the week! Isobel let me take all my tests this week! Now I can relax and enjoy my break, well sort of. I will need to study a bit and do some assignments over the break. At least it isn't all due at once! I am 29 weeks now and impatiently awaiting the arrival of Isobel. I gained 2 more pounds and her heart beat is still in the 130s. It takes her about and hour now to get her 10 moves. My belly button is still not sticking out and I still have no swelling. This week I have been experiencing pretty bad sciatic nerve pain. It was so bad at one point on Wednesday I had to stop walking and sit down. My doctor gave me some stretches to do that helps some (mostly just in the morning). I think I was having some false labor contractions yesterday. The pain was worse than Braxton hicks, but not so bad I had to stop what I was doing. It went all the way around to my back and all over my tummy (not just the front/bottom). The pain lasted a minute or 2, then happened again 2 hours later. Nothing has happened since. We cleaned up her room and sorted her clothes this morning (finally), so we are all set and ready for her to come!

39 weeks!

Xavier got scratched on his cheek earlier this week. He was sitting on his own minding his own business and a little girl came and scratched him. It doesn't seem to be bothering him. He got to spend the day with mom and dad today. Drake was off of work and I only had one class. My class was during his nap, so he didn't even know that I was gone. He loved it that we were both home. He got to cuddle and play with us both. He even helped with little sister's room. Drake has to work all day tomorrow so mom and X get to do crafts all day. Look for those posts tomorrow night.
