just weeks away


currently 37.5 weeks.
which means we are currently kind of in shock that it could really be anytime now!
her head is niiice and comfy down there.
so we have mastered the pregnancy waddle.
sometimes i feel like my hips/tailbone are about to crack into pieces.
we don't have much of an appetite but when i get hungry i am instantly starving!
17 lbs. gained so far the doctor says.
but i reminded them that my first weight check wasn't until 12 weeks and i had gained five pounds by that time (which i was counting). but they said they won't count that.
but either way, 17 or 22 lbs. is fine by me!
as of wednesday the doctor says there is no change in my cervix but the babe is definitely right there.
i could have told you that doc... feels like i got punched in the vagina.
chocolate and heartburn are best friends :(
tums and pepcid ac are my best friends.


surprisingly i'm not in the 'get her out' stage yet like everyone said i would be.
it's actually kind of annoying when people say... oh this is the worst part/i bet you just want her out already... or anything along those lines.
as much as i am uncomfortable & anxious to finally meet her i know that recovery will be even worse.
i also want to enjoy this last time i have with just my husband.
and i want her to come when she is good and ready. stressing/wondering about making her come 'now' won't do my body any good anyways.

brian on the other hand (since he learned in birthing class that semen can induce labor) says we need to go collect a whole bunch (i guess his isn't enough), inject it in me and have this baby already.
