Full Term

Well today I am officially full term! That means that I could be having this baby at any time! I am starting to get scared about labour... I really hope that it don't hurt..that much! Last night we went to the Langdon Firemans ball (town outside of Calgary). We were invited by Christopher's partner Laurie for dinner and then the ball. A guy actually asked me to dance! (That means I am still hot even though I am a blimp!)It was probably our last date so we stayed out a little later than we should have.
I have been having major braxton hicks and pressure and pain in my uterus so I think that delivery is imminent. I still have to put together that hospital bag, which I am not looking forward to, because that means I am just that much closer to delivery.

Prenatal Pictures

We got our prenatal portraits done today! I am so excited about them because it is something that I wanted to do before I became preggo. I was really worried that I would have him before I had the chance to get my pictures done. Christopher was such a trooper, he actually did everything that Patrick(the photographer) asked...even though he did feel a little shy/stupid.
They are going to be black and white and gorgeous! I just have to wait until after the baby is born to get them!!!!

Shower

I had my baby shower yesterday and got so much stuff!! I am not looking forward to going through it and putting it all away! Or all those thank you cards!
I can't believe that I have less than 30 days to go until I give birth, I really have to get cracking and finish cleaning and getting ready. Now since I got everything I am going to have to make a list of things that I have to buy. Like crib sheets or a breast pump.
I am so tired. Maybe I will do another journal entry tomorrow...or not.

Soon it will all be over!

Starting to freak out about how soon he is coming. I am really not looking forward to birth, at all. It's kinda scary that he has to come out. I hope he doesn't have a big head. Our Birthing From Within Class is over on Wednesday (tomorrow) so hopefully I have all the tools I need to have this baby!
My shower is this weekend, which is so unbelieveable that it has come up on me so fast. This last month is just going to fly by!
I am not sleeping at all. My mom says that I just have to live with it because he is just going to get bigger and that 's a good thing. Also, I am always hungry but I can't eat as much because of the massive heartburn and the fact that my stomach is have the size it use to be.
He gets hiccups everyday, which can be annoying but it lets me know that he is okay because he is trying to breathe. (I can't wait til I get to breathe again).
I think it's a natural progression to want to get the baby out, or women would never go into labour. It's the wanting the baby out that makes you work hard to get him out!!

Ouch?!?!

Last night was the worst night of my pregnancy! Baby is head down and last night I overate and he moved because I was so full (I think) He went vertex (sideways) and stretched right out. That was uncomfortable but liveable, then he went back head down but put his feet straight up so he was kicking me right in the ribs! Up against my stomach and right in between my breasts....so painful!! I tried to get him to move by pelvic rocking and yoga poses but nothing worked! Needless to say I had NO sleep! I can't wait until he comes out, it's so uncomfortable.
I know that comming early is not the best thing, but I just wish I could take him out for the night and then put them back in.

Not Ready

I really don't feel like I am ready at all! We have so much stuff to do around the house, but I am so tired that I don't think I will ever get it done! At my last ultrasound the tech told me that his head is right on my cervix so he is more than ready to come out! (It couldn't be any sooner?!?!)I don't have placenta privia, so I will be having this baby naturally, god willing!!! As I get closer to the date I will do more journal entrys so that when I am post baby there is lots of stuff to read!
