I'm down to 7 weeks more to go now and finally starting to really feel it.  My sciatic nerve is acting up, my round ligaments are all loose and making movement painful, I can't breathe, and sometimes my pelvic bones just feel battered. 

I felt this a lot after a long day of shampooing carpets, dusting baseboards, washing walls, and just doing an all over good solid fall cleaning this weekend before the house is closed up for the winter.  I was absolutely wiped out, but it felt so good to get it done!

In spite of the discomfort, I take this as good news!  We're nearly there and it's almost time to meet the newest member of the family now!!  Awesome!  I am really looking forward to another wonderful home birth.   

Next week:  Canning apple sauce & pie filling!!  YES!
