Window Murals, decorations and preparing!

It's that time of year...Halloween!! Boys and I wanted to start decorating since September but Pop's told us we'd be "That" house. So we held on as long as we could. Now decorations are down from the attic and it was time to pick a window theme. This year the boys chose Hotel Transylvania. We've yet to see the movie but we're hoping to soon. To be honest I really want to watch it too but think my guys will have to go without me. Don't know if my body will allow me to sit so long in a theater, this baby hasn't been too kind. My sciatic nerve gets pinched regularly, my upper back is killing me and now I'm having pregnancy carpal tunnel. UGH! COME ON OCTOBER 29th!!!

That date is right around the corner so reality has hit Pops and I like a freight train. We have been scrambling to prepare for this little meatloaf. His clothes washed and "mostly" put up, changing table almost completely organized and crib is ready for his little ol' self. I on the other hand was getting nervous about a week ago or so about my c-section. I told Nick I was a bit scared. I don't want an epidural, my backs weird (slight medical deformity as I was told) and they poke and prod me for 45 minutes until I can't take the pain anymore. Then there's recovery, getting up to walk for the first time was a blankity blank. But Doc told me a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-Section) would be to risky for me...sigh. Pops told me I'd be OK and that as tough as this pregnancy has been I'd probably RUN through the hospital doors and beg to be sliced open. Of course a punch in his arm later and a yeah right! He was right. Carpal Tunnel was the icing on the cake and I want my back pin cushioned so I can feel nothing, hold my child, try walking with a gash across my abdomen and sit in bed and have someone cater to me for a bit, yes like a mini painful vacation. Odd but I'll take it!

We didn't do one last year I think I was in the fetal position somewhere crying over how hard my Bio teacher was.
