38 Weeks

Here is my 38 weeks belly photos, hopefully these are the last pictures I take while pregnant....





I've been feeling lots of pressure this past week and the baby seems to have calmed down quite a bit. I haven't been sleeping to good either so maybe this is all a sign that labor is just a few days away. I'm crossing my fingers!

Man vs. Contractions

This is great.

Today's Appointment

Jay and I saw the doctor today at 37 weeks and 5 days. I was joking and said I wanted to be induced and my doctor replied by saying that the earliest he will induce is at 39 weeks. I told him that if the baby isn't here by 39 1/2 weeks that I want to be induced on my due date, May 27th. But he said we will discuss all my options at my next visit on the 19th, if I even make it to the 19th. He will do an ultrasound of the baby and then check my cervix to see if I have dialated and effaced more since 36 weeks. I think depending on how big the baby is and my level of discomfort we might be induced early. But hopefully the baby comes naturally in the next few days or so. I definately feel like my body is getting ready to go!

Bring On the Baby!!

Well, I am officially full term today! Yay for me! I saw my doctor on Monday and he said I'll probably have the baby between 38 and 38 1/2 weeks...so hopefully in about 7 to 10 days...or tonight or tomorrow would be nice. =) We just about have everything set up and ready to go with everything getting finalized on Sunday and Monday. Next Monday the doctor should be checking me again to see if I have dialated any further...I will just say now that I am pretty sure I am dialating. The baby is still very active although he is so cramped in there that he can't even kick me, he is just rolling around and hiccuping. I didn't take any new pictures today because I am not feeling to well, I'm getting another ear infection, but I have pictures from last week at 36 weeks....





Its gigantic, I know. People point and stare when I go to the store, it's pretty embarrassing hahaha. But it will be over soon, at least that's what everyone keeps telling me.

2nd 36 week Ultrasound

We had another ultrasound this morning at 8:30am with Dr. Visintine. Everything went well. All the baby's organs looked good and healthy. There wasn't alot to see since Shea has practically no room left to move in my belly. The camera couldn't really get any good shots of him since he looked just like one big mass. We tried to see his face but his head is too engaged into my cervix and he had his face smashed up against my placenta. So we didn't get any pictures or video but he will be here soon anyway so it really doesn't matter. I just had a talk with Shea and told him that mommy only has about two week or less left in her for this pregnancy crap and that he needs to start sending on the labor signals. I think him and I are probably feeling crappy together now so I don't think he minded the lecture. His movement has gone down dramatically since the beginning of this week. Basically, he can only roll his big butt from side to side and stick out his feet.

So yeah labor better start soon, I'm not kidding. I'm losing my mind. I want to rejoin the community of non-pregnant people! Mom and I went to a few stores today and picked up a few things. Pretty much every woman I passed was like "whoa when are you due?" and followed it up by "yeah I thought so, you look like you are ready to go" and then they stare like I'm an alien or something. So now I hate all public places because people just stare at my belly like I have some kind of illness or something. And a drug addict woman in the IHOP bathroom touched my belly without asking and that's so not cool ever. Geeeeezzzz someone pray for me please!
