So I am 37 weeks and I have heard people say I am so tired of being pregnant well ladies and gentlemen I AM TIRED OF BEING PREGNANT. First and most importantly I am tired of being pregnant because I want to see my baby girl outside of my stomach and hold her and see her every day. Secondly I am tired of looking and feeling so huge, my clothes not fitting right, not being able to walk like a normal person, taking an act of congress to get up off the couch...must I go on??
Two weeks ago I went to the doctor and we did an ultrasound and she was 5 lbs 9 ounces. She had huge cheeks I am talking chipmunk cheeks, and "more than peach fuzz" hair. Looks like I better bring a brush to the hospital and depending maybe a straightner! (I am only kidding). I then had my examination. He said her head was very very low, which he said is a good thing. Her head was about an inch and a half from the exit door! I was effaced 100% and dilated 1 cm. This past Monday I went back and I was still 1 cm, but her head was even lower. I am officially full term so the baby can come any time now. This waiting is driving me nuts! Every single little thing that I feel I am like "what was that" is that a contraction?? You can't ask people because everyone has had a different experience. Some people just knew they were having a contraction and other people had no idea. Some peoples water broke and some didn't. I do get a lot of braxton hicks and today I have been having a back ache and nauseous. I am hoping these are signs of her coming soon, but you just never know. I guess she will come when she is good and ready. I can tell she is uncomfortable in there because she does a lot of squirming all day! She is welcome to come whenever she wants. Her room is ready and our bags and her carseat are in the car!
Joe has been such a big help lately. He has really taken over a lot of the house chores and got some of our last minute things taken care of!! I really appreciate him and am so lucky! We are both getting impatient though and are so ready to meet her!!!
Total weight gain 22!
Sleep: Pretty much impossible I feel like I am up all night
Cravings: Still just orange juice. I know I am so boring.
Maybe next Monday I will have a more exciting update!!!
