38 Weeks...

Here I am!  I know you've all been dying to see how big I've gotten so here you go!  Today I am 38 weeks and 3 days and I am ready to go!  I have had a pretty stress free pregnancy and I really can't complain much, but I have to say, I am SO over being pregnant.  This summer has been extremely hot and long, I think it's been at least in the 90s since May, so needless to say I am ready to meet this little girl and shed this baby weight.  I have weekly appointments and at today's appointment I decided that I just didn't want to look at the scale, so I didn't.  My Dr. also told me that my cervix is still closed and up to my throat, so I guess that means no action yet.  I'm staying positive though, that doesn't mean baby girl won't decide she's ready to come out and get things moving as early as...tonight?? One can hope anyway haha.

My newest fun symptom is the carpal tunnel I have developed, it's super fun for all the typing I have to do with work! For real though it's not that bad...the most annoying part is that my hands/fingers are tingling all the time, like the awesome feeling when your hand falls asleep, only it doesn't go away!  I am looking forward to the swelling of my hands/feet going down so I can wear my wedding rings again and wear some of my other shoes! 

My mom comes into town on Wednesday the 17th, so I'm pretty excited about that.  I'm guessing we'll be waiting for baby to get here even after her due date but at least Mom will be here before she is!  Well, I'll make sure to keep everyone posted! Sorry for the long span of no blog posting...can't believe we're almost there!

  2. Sounds like next baby V will not be a summer baby! ;-) Hang in there, Rach. You're almost there. It's all more than worth the wait (and heat, and tingly fingers, etc) when you finally get to hold your little angel in your arms. I can't wait to meet her! :-)
