Head Down Baby!

Well, the carpet won't go in until NEXT week.  I was disappointed, but there's always a silver lining.  More days to paint and get things how I'd really like them.  Jess has been awesome, working so hard every waking moment.  He gets home from work, we eat dinner and head right over to the house and he works until just about time to go back to Grama's and get everyone ready for bed.  We get them to sleep and then I'll do my workout and my exercises to turn this baby head down, while he'll work for the OTHER school (back in OKC) on the computer until 1 or 2 am, if not later.  Then he wakes up and starts over.  It will be nice to get moved in and finish up the projects so he can have a little time to relax, and get some sleep.  (For about a week anyway, then we'll have a newborn, ha.)  I bet Grama will like having a little space again-not to mention her dog back from Aunt Mollie and Uncle Tim's.

Thanks to Uncle Chris the kids now have a game cube that keeps them entertained at the house while Jess is painting or tearing out carpet or whatever.  I was unpacking bathroom stuff over there one night while they played Mario Kart, and Neely found the headbands in the box I had.  She told Cason he was "an gewrl" (The way she pronounces girl is pretty hard to spell out phonetically I just found out) and talked him into wearing a headband too.  He's such a good brother, does whatever she asks(or demands).

He's also still a cute little artist.  He often draws things he knows I like, so rain clouds and snails have been popular lately.

Grammy saw my post about Neely wanting to "peent", so she met us over at the house yesterday with paint and little rollers so the kids could all help her paint a closet.  They all had fun, but Neely especially was so excited.  She talked about it nonstop on the drive over.

Then they planted grass seed out front, so hopefully it'll be looking nice again soon.

I had an appointment today, and this boy is head down!  Either I am crazy and he was never sideways at all, or all the hanging upside down this past week did the trick.  :)  I think it has helped though, because I've felt kicks higher up the last couple of days, but still a little over to the side so I wasn't sure.  I'm so happy and relieved!  I would be very sad to go from planning it drug and intervention free to having to have a C-section!  So please pray that he stays head down. 

The achiness has hit all of a sudden.  I wake up with throbbing femurs and crazy calf cramps.  I'm definitely waddling around and have a tough time getting out of bed.  Pretty much have to roll out, now.  :)  I feel big sometimes, and other times not that big, but my pelvis is definitely aching.  I must look good sized though, because this last week the looks started.  I went into Walmart alone the other night and everywhere I walked heads were turning and obviously staring at me.  I hate being along when that stuff happens, because it's harder to pretend not to notice everyone looking.  Ha.  I got quite a few comments one certain day, so I had to go into Grama's bathroom where the mirror was at the right height for a belly selfie, ha.  The shape makes me laugh.
