Almost Done!!??!!
These last few weeks have really dragged on. I thought it was going to go by fast, but every day seems like it lasts a week. I think if I have to wait for 2 more weeks after my due date, I'll go crazy! I posted a 36 week picture and a 39 week picture. My belly has definitely gotten a lot bigger in the past few weeks. I've started to get pretty uncomfortable these past few days. I'm not going to hydrofit anymore because the stupid float belt that you have to wear pushes the baby up and gives me really bad heartburn. I basically spend the whole class trying to keep my stomach acid down.
We managed to finally move my office at West Tec home so that I can do everything that I usually do there, here. We set up the home computer to network with the office, so it is just like I'm there (except I can't help out by answering the phone). While doing all the packing and moving boxes etc. I was having a lot of cramping and braxton hicks contractions. I figured that could only be helping things along, so I spent 2 days straight doing the move. At my 39 week appointment I saw a new doctor because Dr. Schuurman was doing her hospital rounds. After the checkup she said to make another appointment in a week, but she didn't think that I was going to make it because of all the cramping that I had been having. She said if I wanted the baby out I should go for a walk. If I wasn't ready yet, then I should lay down as much as possible. On Tuesday night Aaron promised to go for a walk with me, so we headed out just before dinner with Dually. It was raining with a really icy cold wind, so we didn't get very far before deciding to turn back. On Wednesday night I convinced Aaron to go to the mall with me so that we could spend a few hours walking around (Aaron hates the mall, so I was happy that he agreed). After 2 hours of walking, I didn't feel anything but just plain sore so we headed back. I guess I'll make it to my next appointment afterall.
