Another thing.
I don't think I mentioned this in Isabella's birth story. When the contractions were getting really painful, and it was about 20 hours after my waters had broken, I was crying. As you would! About an hour before, I was 5cm dilated. When the nurse noticed I was crying, she said that was a good sign that I was getting closer to full dilation! When she said that, I was terrified, thinking that I was actually going to give birth naturally. It is really scary, especially since I'd had a caesarean last time, so was in unfamiliar territory. Turns out I was still only 5cm dilated though, so it was probably more the being awake for two days straight and in huge amounts of pain that made me cry. :o)
I've started walking again (the exercise kind). I've walked to the local shops and back (about 35 mins), with the girls in the pram, every day this week. Except for yesterday, when I was moving a huge recliner from the garage into the living room, and pulled it onto my toe, and it bent my big toenail back, and it was bleeding, and I was in heaps of pain. It's fine now, though. No bruising or anything. No battle scars, which is a bit sad! All that pain, and nothing to show for it. But I did get the recliner into it's new position, which is good.
And yesterday I also changed around the 'nappy room', which will soon be Isabella's room when she moves from the cradle into her cot. I made it all pretty looking. Man, anyone would think I'm nesting! I didn't really nest when I was pregnant with Bella, so maybe I'm making up for it now.
