So I know its been too long. Don't judge. Lol. I really have no excuse. "Pregnancy brain" has been overused over the last 8 months. So please forgive me. Thanks. Anyways, im 36 weeks! Heres an updated belly pic:
Front view with hubby's hands too!
Side view. "He so low!"So here's the update: I'm on maternity leave. Thank heavens. I had 3 contractions while i was working, so Spence let me stop at 6 weeks to go. Then on last Friday, we went to our normal appt and the doc was just curious to see if i had dilated, and guess what! I had! I was 3cm and about 50% effaced. And I had no clue! My doctor then said that the baby is deffinately comming before the due date, but he will be ok since im past 34 weeks. Full term is considered 37 weeks, so he would be small, but healthy.
THEN on Sunday I started having what i thought were contractions, so we went to the hospital and again, sure enough I was! they hooked up the machine and it said I was, so I wasn't just being a pansy. I felt validated. lol. well they were about 10 min apart, I was now at 3.5cm but I was still only 50% effaced so they sent me home.
So now I'm sitting here having these pretty painful contractions that arent at ALL regular so I can't go in. So annoying. I'm assuming though its not much longer now. Spencer, my mom, my mother in law and I made bets. I said April 15, Spence said April 25 my mom said April 23 and Marcy said May 4 (I gave her a nasty look at that one)
So now I get to lay around (ha) and do nothing (haha) trying to keep him cokking a little bit longer. I feel we are pretty prepared. The house is pretty darn clean, hospital bag is packed and along with the carseat, in the car ready to go. I kinda can't wait. But then again patience has never been my strong suit. =)
Spencer and I are still planning on getting sealed in the LA temple on April 24, which is also Marcy And Galen's 30th anniversary! We are crossing our fingers that he'll either come early enough to give me a couple of days to recover, or that he'll hold out til the 25th at least! but only he and Heavenly Father know... lol.
Well this is all I'm going to write for now, I have to go play my new found favorite time consuming game:
Bupkis! (Google it. It's actually quite fun!)
