I have gone back and made sure that I published all of my status updates. With less than a week to go before my due date, I thought it would be wise to play catch up.
I do apologize that the updates weren’t more consistent. Typing with swollen, numb and tingly fingers is quite a challenge, not to mention painful, and writing letters, signing checks, cooking, cleaning, handling knives, along with most other simple tasks, can be next to impossible when your digits don’t work properly. Unfortunately, the only remedy is to have this baby and I’m just waiting on that day to come.
Over the weekend, we managed to go through piles of receipts and miscellaenous paperwork that was screaming to be filed. Fortunately, we didn’t suffer through any papercuts (mainly me, since I wouldn’t be able to feel if I got cut) and I believe we can now fit our important documents in two filing bins. Call it nesting, but it desperately needed to get done, that is for sure.
Hurricane Hanna passed through with rain, some wind, and taking our cable/internet services for the afternoon/evening. I had hoped that the change in barometric pressure might start labor, but we didn’t get that lucky. Instead, we watched several movies while organizing and shredding, then topped off the evening with chicken and dumplings. I am so looking forward to one-pot fall meals that require less time in the kitchen…
We will definitely let you know if and when anything happens. Check back here for details!
