Baby on the Mind

Ouch!  First internal exam.  It was not the most comfortable exam I’ve ever had, but at least it was quick.  I’m softening, so that’s good.  Otherwise, there isn’t much to report.  The fetal non-stress test is fine.  The baby was about 7 lbs. at my last ultrasound!  I’m hoping they were a few oz. off.  I still have a week to go until my due date.  Not much is going on.  I have a few contractions here or there.  I’ve gain 60 lbs., and I’m trying to not let that get me down.  I had every intention of only gaining 30 lbs, but here I am at twice that!  Yikes!  The OB’s seem fine with it, so I’m trying to just keep moving…  I’m swelling and retaining water like it’s my job.  I live in my compression stocking and carpal tunnel braces.  I don’t have much feeling in my finger.  I’m tired, but ready to meet my LO.  Everything is checked off my “To Do” List with the wonderful help of DH.  Just waiting…

DH and I had fun this weekend doing a belly cast.  It was messy, but lots of fun.  DH thought it was cool, so that made it a really great memory.  I just did the belly, and my plan is to take a picture of my LO in the belly.  I’m hoping it’ll be as neat as it looks in my mind!
