Just an update

Well it's been awhile since I've posted an update on myself.  I had my 35 wk check up today.  Got my Beta strep test...dont' know the results of that though...probably will be negative as it has been with all my other pregnancies.  I've officially gained 12 lbs thusfar.  Doc "checked" me and said baby is "still pretty high but starting to come down and beginning to thin out"  so basically not really doing much.  I didn't expect to though.  I tend to just go all at once...there is no gradual.  With my last I didn't dialate at all til labor hit and my son didn't drop until I was getting my epidural and he didn't just drop it felt like he FELL down.  It was like a bowling ball being dropped into my pelvis.  So we'll wait and see.  I get "checked" every week now.

Wow....I can't believe that you are almost there.  It seems like just yesterday, you couldn't wait until your u/s to find out what you were having and it just couldn't get here soon enough.  And now, here you are almost ready to have your little one.

I understand about the bittersweet thing.  That's how I feel too.  It just feels almost sad when you know that that part of your life is over.  It's like moving to the next step.  I can't explain it really but I know what you mean.  We may have 1 more.  And like you, in a way I want to just get pregnant, but then I kind of want to wait a little longer (since my youngest just turned 1 on June 13) and kind of plan and enjoy the pregnancy.  Out of all 5 of mine, none were planned.  So, I'd kind of like to know what that feels like.  LOL

I finally got off my lazy butt and went walking last night...gonna try to do atleast a little walking every day or every other day to help get things in gear.  I'm conflicted on my feelings tho...part of me wants to hurry up and get this kid out so we can meet him and adjust and make the changes to necessary....but the other half of me wants this to last and to enjoy the rest of this pregnancy because we plan on this being the last.  It's all kind of bittersweet right now.

Glad to hear you are getting closer. You're lucky to have only gained 12 lbs so far that's great!

Yey Mama!  5 more weeks.  It seems like we all came here asking about pregnancy and we're all going to leave here mommies!  It's been a long journey and we're hanging in there.  You dont have far to go now, keep checking in so we dont worry!
