Fast Running Mommy

Got some good sleep last night and a nice long Sunday nap yesterday..so I was awake before six and thought, "I guess I'll go for my run today." I wasn't planning on it yesterday. I just want to shut myself up somewhere and sit and sulk.

Sasha gave me a blessing last night and the first thing he said was that I would have peace of mind. I believe that I will and that I will stop worrying. Thank you Sasha for being a righteous preisthood holder and having that power.

Quote of the day, " Do not be fractious with the children" Joseph Smith to Emma Smith when he was in Liberty Jail. She was pregnant and taking care of her own four children and an orphan living with them. I'll bet if her prophet husband reminded her to not be "fractious", even though she was alone, pregnant and exhausted....I'll bet she was as sweet as pie to those little guys. So at least I've got a husband with me, maybe I'll try to be less fractious today. :)

fractious: tending to be unruly, cranky, irritable. 

Still pregnant..dang those ultrasounds are dead on accurate for me. Gonna take my kids to the library today. I'm still functioning pretty good. I need to get some good books for me. I was bored out of my mind yesterday because the only things I could think that needed to be done required moving really heavy things and I couldn't bug Sasha about it and obviously wasn't going to try doing it myself.  Does anyone local that might be reading this have a white newborn Sunday shirt I could borrow? I made the most darling overalls for this baby boy and I can't find a Sunday shirt at any of the stores I've been to so far to put under them for when we bless him. 

Humph...wish I'd been in bed nursing a baby already...maybe I'll go overdue with this little guy like I did Jacob. 

The trail was a beautiful mess with all the leaves down from yesterdays winds.  I picked up some walnuts from the bachelor pad yard across the street. I'm 99% sure those guys aren't going to try and harvest their walnuts so they can put it in their baked goods for Christmas. Maybe I'll go back with the kids today and we can ask them if they mind us cleaning up their yard a bit. The kids love cracking walnuts.
 

I so did not want to blog today...I may need to take a break from it until the baby comes because I'm starting to get depressed. In this world of golf playing induction happy doctors it seems people are surprised when you go to your due date. IT"S STILL NORMAL..sorry I had to get that out. I was thinking tomorrow was my due date..that's what my ultrasound said. For some reason my midwife had written down the 28th...I was NOT okay with that. That is way too close to Halloween.   After checking me out and seeing that my uterus was measuring 40 weeks and the fact that I've been having contractions on and off for a week she let me believe that my due date is still tomorrow. She says that I'm pretty ripe and she thinks I'll go in a day or two.

I ran 1 mile in the morning through some mild contractions and 1 in the afternoon which started the contractions back up.  

Well this fastrunning mama is gonna slow down for a few weeks. If you haven't been to Sasha's blog and seen it..William was born Friday morning at 4:34. We are doing fine...just trying to survive and not go crazy. Thank goodness for the GREAT weather. I got to take a VEEEERRRY slow walk to the corner and back. All of my neighbors came out and wanted to see the baby ..that was fun. He is totally adorable. He is just what I wanted...dark hair but looks like Sasha...fun combo. The best part is his ADORABLE dimple on his right cheek...smack dab in the middle and deep like a dimple should be. Another doll joins the Pachev clan...we are overjoyed.
