I learned something last night, while shoving in my sixth or so spicy jalepeno popper - I feel very ready to have this baby, until something actually feels like it's happening. Then my mind races and thinks "No, I'm a bit tired, I want to sleep!" and "it's too cold outside to have to leave the house!" I never had spicy food at the end of pregnancy before, and now I get why it can be labor inducing. I was rapidly eating the jalepenos while watching a Christmas episode of Doctor Who when suddenly the baby went insane. It actually felt like he was trying to get out, and he kept ramming his head over and over on my cervix and pushing really low. I guess he didn't appreciate the yumminess like I was. But his movements were not only very painful, but they set off alarm bells in my head that said he was going to do something labor inducing if he didn't calm down. I sadly put down my seventh popper and decided to not eat anymore. They may be something I want to stock up on in a few weeks when I feel a bit more ready, but for now I think I'll wait on the spicy stuff. He really hurt my cervix! It's still aching today and it feels like he may have dislodged parts of my mucus plug as well. While I like to play with the idea of having him very soon, there's definitely a panic that comes when I think it might be coming right now!
(with that said, the only thing I am craving right now is poppers! I really want to eat the rest of them that we have, but don't want to go through that again!)
I'm running out of time to do my belly painting ideas that I had (having a Christmas baby really puts a lot of neat ideas in your head!) so I did one today while I was supposed to be busily crocheting a hat that needs to go out this weekend (and truthfully, hours later I still haven't even started on it! My deadline of getting everything done and shipped by December 1st is obviously not going to quite happen!)
