The baby room is coming along very nicely, although the past few days it has turned into a restricted area as Kacey has begun the major portion of sanding the floors. With potentially not-so-healthy dust flying everywhere, he decided to close off the room with plastic sheets and duct tape. He also wears a heavy duty respirator to keep from inhaling hazardous materials. All of this looks strangely reminiscent of those viral outbreak movies and brings back unpleasant memories of the Ebola outbreak that we learned about in high school Biology (Bekah, you'll know what I'm talking about!). I tried to read the book "Hot Zone" about Ebola...how the outbreak happened, what it does to your body, how they stopped it from spreading, etc. I think I made it through the first chapter, but when they started detailing the blood rupturing out of every bodily pore, I had to call it quits. Anyways, I'm thankful that sawdust is the only thing we are trying to keep quarentined!
Kacey has to crawl under the sheet everytime he enters the room...
After several Darth Vadar impersonations, Kacey got serious with the respirator (even though it has pink sides, which he was very upset about) and sanded like it was nobody's business.
Here is my belly at about 36.5 weeks.
It looks and feels like I am about to pop! Rolling over in bed has become especially difficult...at 3am when I have roll from side to side to gain momentum, I find myself relating well to Ralphie's little brother on "A Christmas Story". He gets bundled in so many layers that he can't get up after falling in the snow :(
This past week the baby has dropped and I can certainly feel it...and just when I thought I couldn't possibly feel anymore pelvic pressure! The Moms are kind of on call now because although I'm several weeks away from the due date (Oct. 9), I found out at my doc. appointment today that I have effaced 80% already. I've still only dialated 1cm, but apparently, if I get to 100% effacement, labor will come shortly after. I think Baby Carr would surprise us all if he/she stayed put until October, although we've had big surprises before! We are just praying we can make it to this Saturday when the baby will be officially full term.
