5 weeks. HOLY CRAP. Yeah, I am starting to get nervous...and a lil scared. I mean...it's child birth...it is like shoving a watermelon thru a paper towel tube...logistically, it just doesn't work well. But I guess that is why God gave man the ability to invent drugs and epidurals. :) Cuz...man oh man...sign me up!
Baby's room is pretty much done...I will post a few pix below...so y'all can see his room...and WOW...there is a pic of me...all preggie and huge...with my shirt UP...touching my belly...
You see, lil man was going bananas...I think he knew I was finishing up his room (for the most part...still need to hang wall hangings and his name in the letters that I bought)..Sometimes the only way to calm him down enough is to put hands on my belly...so I did...and hubby thought it a good idea to snap a pic...
Ready for the shocker...
I don't hate it! =) I think I am at the point where I am realizing that I am growing a human. I have a baby in my belly and that baby is going to be out soon...its amazing.
I had my 34week doctor appt yesterday. I am up to 267...according to their scale...but this was also 3PM and after I had eaten lunch n stuff...so who knows. My BP was 116/74...so that was awesome! He is not too worried about the weight gain as I have been retaining a butt-load of fluids...can we say pitting edema...my feet are horrible..and granted while the labs I did are fine and my BP is rockin'...he put me on 6-8 hours of "left and right" bedrest a day. YAY. I get to lay on my side til one goes numb and flip over...all dangon day...how in the WORLD am I supposed to accomplish anything remotely needed?
I guess that is his point though...take it easy before it develops into something bad...I get it...but dang it...its gonna be rough.
Now for pix! :)
Here is the "belly holding" pic...I look rough...but who cares!
