Maximilian Likes His Spot

Three days until I am officially due. Maximilian evidently likes his little apartment he's hanging out in these days. I feel great still, other than the numb hands and funny leg electric shocks.

Time Out for a funny story:

For the past two months I have had these little electric shocks down my left leg. It is connected to my sciatic nerve, but sometimes I think it is just my body doing crazy things. It doesn't really hurt but has left me at times "stuck." You see, when it happens to me I have to stop or I fall. A couple of weekends ago I was in the mall and I was starting to feel it a little, but would just stop and then get back going again. I decided to stop in one last store before I left. As I walked around this little surf shop it started happening more and more and more. So much so that all of of a sudden I realized I couldn't move. I had up to this point just been walking from thing to thing that I could grab and hold on to for a second. It got so bad I finally had to just sit down and luckily there was a little seat next to the shoes in the store. I sat there laughing so hard wishing someone was with me. Here I was stuck in this store, no one to laugh with me, and not sure when I would be able to make it to my car. I text Sam to have him laugh with me. He didn't find it as funny...oops, maybe emailing the husband who can't come rescue you right in that moment wasn't the smartest idea. He called my phone and by that point I was walking to the car, slowly, but still walking there hanging onto each car I passed. I still think it's pretty funny. C'mon, picture this American girl, 9 months pregnant, stuck in this SUPER cool surf store. That's just funny!

Anyway, other than those couple of things that are just annoying it's not that bad. We go see the midwife tomorrow (usually we go on Mondays but it was a public holiday so she scheduled us for Thursday). We will see what she says and how the little turkey is doing. I thought that since Monday was "Labor Day" here that it would be fitting for him to come on Monday but he thought otherwise.

For now, I will keep enjoying the quiet, reading books, the sunshine, though the sun is starting to leave us again :( and the waiting.
