Still here. Still pregnant. I know many of you check back here daily to find out if we’ve had a baby yet, so I don’t want to disappoint.
Yesterday was rough. After Wednesday’s excitement, I spent all of yesterday laying down. Anytime I tried to sit up, sharp pains shot through my symphysis. Joshua could not get home fast enough for me. He came home and I just started to cry.
I couldn’t go to the bathroom by myself during the night last night. I had to get Joshua to lift each leg and set it down for every step that I took - I couldn’t lift my legs by myself, or even drag my feet across the floor, I was in so much pain. When we finally got me back in bed and settled down, I felt so sick. All that exertion and pain made me feel like i was going to throw up.
Some couple, I guess in our building, decided to have a screaming match at four in the morning. I didn’t catch it all, as one side was completely in Spanish, but I definitely caught a lot of one person getting cussed out. They were at it again at six. I asked Joshua if he had heard it - he’s on the couch these days, since I can sleep better with the extra room - and he said he hadn’t heard a thing. Amazing.
He’s working from home this morning to help me out some. I had to have him help me to get dressed.
With Judah, I remember being so scared about labor, and how much I knew it would hurt, and could I do it? This time around, I say, “Bring. It. On.” There’s no way it can be worse than what I’ve been going through. I guess that says a lot about SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction) when you think of labor and delivery as a relief from pain.
I feel for you. Thank goodness you have Joshua to help you.
As a woman who went to 42 weeks and three days with my second daughter, I can say that I feel for you. I am one of the folks checking with my sister (Kelly) often and also checking your blog to find out the news! I am also praying for you, Joshua and Judah.

I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. We are praying for you!
