Still nothing...

Tuesday night and still no baby. The weather forecast for the next couple of days is storm and lots of snow so I hope the baby will wait for another few days before coming out. I went to the midwife on Monday and the baby is now engaged and everything is looking good. I still feel quite good apart from that I am not sleeping so well at night and I can really feel that the baby is struggling to fit inside my body.
Yesterday I stayed home pretty much the whole day. Did lots of paperwork, had some rest, went grocery shopping and the visit to my midwife. Today I was home in the morning but had lunch and coffee with friends in the city, walked around in the city for a while, met up with Adam, picked up Jakob and just took it easy. Nothing exciting but nice to just be able to do what I want to and get some rest.
Jakob is doing really well and both yesterday and today when he came home from dagis he told me: I didn't push Linus today! and looked very happy. Last week he pushed his friend Linus over a couple of times and I have tried to tell him that it is not a very nice thing to do. Another funny thing about Jakob is that he latley has started saying things like: I really like the food, but I just don't want anymore. Or... I like you mummy, but I want to play with daddy right now. Or... I like those pants, but I want to wear these ones today. It sounds so funny. It is like he wants to start with a positive before he says the negative, sort of. Don't know where he got it from, not from me or Adam, we probably start and end with something negative when we speak :-)
He is still doing well without nappies both during the day and at night. His night sleeps are still a bit up and down, not sure why. He has had a few nights when he has been sleeping well at night, but been waking up around 5.40-5.50 wanting to play. Far too early for us but not possible to get him back to sleep. Last night he woke up in the middle of the night again but I took him back to his own bed quickly and he stayed there for the rest of the night. It took him over an hour to go back to sleep though... very annoying. Hopefully this waking up at night is just a temporary thing.
Now I am going to go back to my book about giving birth without pain. It is about how you can use breathing techincs to manage the contractions when giving birth. Very interesting.
