I had a busy day yesterday at work, so getting caught up. Oh and dr appt yesterday... it went fine. I gained a ton (hoping water weight from high salt eating) and bump measured 37 weeks, which I know doesn't mean much. He asked if I wanted my cervix checked... no thank you!!! And he said he'd probably check next week then since I'd be 38.5. Hmm. Can I say no thank you again?? Because, really, what would it accomplish besides ouch for me? I'm either not dilated/thinned or I am. Doesn't mean baby is coming any sooner or later since all that can happen fast or slow, totally unrelated to when you deliver unless of course I'm like 8 cm or something lol. Blah. I guess I'll let him check next time. I just know whatever he finds out will make me anxious... either with thinking oh man this baby never will come out or oh my I could have the baby NOW. I just want to limit the anxiousness.
Nicole - Oh you get another scan today! Cool! Last one I had, baby was so big that I couldn't really tell what we were even looking at, grr. But was good to get more info about weight and size etc. Oh and I keep forgetting to do anything to help induce. Guess I'm not anxious about it yet. Once my mom gets here, I can see wanting the baby to hurry up... she's coming at 39 weeks and only staying 2 weeks.
Nice bump pic!!!
Krissy - I think I intentionally tried to not be as excited this time around in order to not be so anxious and impatient because that made time drag. But yeah wish the fun stuff was as exciting the second time. Not as fun to buy boy stuff. And then we had most everything else and didn't do a shower. So that dampened it some, oops. And I think not having a name hasn't helped either. I find it hard to picture a real baby in me when we call him Sprout!
Oh dear how is your knee today???
And if it helps any, my bump was similar last time and I haven't had a flat stomach SINCE... had to wear clothes to disguise it or I could always look prego! Problem area for me! But thank you!! And yay on the pants on clearance! Love finding deals like that.
GRACE!!! Congrats!!! OH MY!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't on baby watch for you because didn't sound like he was about to come out! Go figure!
Janelle - So do you sleep so lightly that you wake every 2 hours even though Sara isn't waking you? Yeah, I had the crying squalling newborn that definitely let me know she needed to eat. Sara sounds great! Interested in more details/specifics about your night and day routine since trying to remember how it all works!
Awww look at all her hair!!! And great skin right off the bat! She's perfect!
Misty - Haha cute close up! No idea about the sideways thing... I have to upload to photobucket and then copy link and paste into bnb.
