37 weeks...just two to go!
Aw man! My little helper has his eyes closed!
I just noticed! Oh well…he is doing a GREAT job helping me!
Here we are…2 weeks from THE BIG DAY!
THE FACTS:
- I am measuring pretty darn close to the same as I was with Eddie at this time…about a week and a half ahead.
- By my calculations I have gained fewer than 10 pounds. The doc is not concerned, so neither am I.
- I’ve had my Group B Strep Test “in case” Charlie does something rebellious.
- I am all “pre-admitted” to the hospital for March 13.
- I am not dilated at all. No shock there either.
- Two more belly measures/heart beat listens.
- eight more days of work (if we don’t have any snow days)
- I might be spoiling Eddie a little with my attention.
- The nursery is ready for a baby.
I will say I can tell I was super spoiled when I was in my 9th month pregnant with Eddie. By the time I was four weeks out from my due date, school was done for the summer (Eddie is a June baby). I spent my days putting my hugely swollen feet up, watching movies, and sleeping my days away.
I remember Cort asking when the nesting was going to start because I just kept getting lazier.
I never had to wear “real” pants in my last month. It was sweats and jammies…with the exception of the weekend right before he was born when I wore a bridesmaid dress and almost got swallowed up by flooding from a monster storm.
This time I am working, wearing “real” clothes every day (that I secretly fear are going to just rip off my body if I bend to far), chasing a toddler, and going up and down our stairs a million times because his bedroom is down there now.
Perhaps this is why I have not gained much weight this time around. Huh.
Last time all I had was time to sit around and think about Eddie being born. The days and weeks dragged.
This time ZOOM! Suddenly we are another week closer to Charlie.
I like it.
I like the zooming.
I am ready.
