I'm waddling around like I AM 40 weeks.  I feel like such a winey person but I feel like my legs and even arms are 100 lbs when I go to do/lift things.  Having a 16mo old and 3 yr old w/a DH that's out of town for a week doesn't help ESPECIALLY in this 93 degree weather, HOT!!  I just wish I could take something for this fatigue :)

I'm getting a bit nervous because my son was born in week 34. I am 34 weeks today. I know how much he weighed so it makes it more real. He was 5 lbs 7 oz. So, I'm sure my boy is about that big at this point as well, even though he feels bigger. Oh, and I have yet to see an ultrasound weight guess be all that accurate so I wouldn't count on big or small babies based on those measurements (: Anyhow, we are all so close. I just started working 4 hour shifts today, instead of 8 so my maternity leave has officially, partially started. Exciting!!

I wish I only had 6 days left!!!! that is so so so exciting!!!!  I know what you mean though - have you stopped your asprin yet?  I will be stopping mine next thursday - so that we can officially go  the week after that - she said if my cervix and everything starts showing signs that we are progressing we will induce early... otherwise if no change in that, we might just be having a c -section - which with a 9lb baby i'm fine with that haha! apparently my pelvic bone really angles down low.. so we just wait for now! I"M SO Excited for you next week! - but i am going to be so nervous when i stop the asprin as well! keep me updated! : )

wow! that is big! geez i would hope you wouldnt go full term, that would be one big little girl! LOL! my growth u/s from the other day said 5lbs 8oz, which was a few days shy of 36wks. sorry no change in the cervix for you. i went to the dr yesterday and i guess my fuid is low, it was at 5cm, best is 10cm. so i just have to make sure shes moving regularly and if not go into L&D. its kinda scary, i dont go to my last NST til monday so i hope everything is ok til wednesday when shes born! i'll be a cleaning freak this weekend, i just about got everything ready. i would say you dont have too much longer either if shes getting that big- cant wait!
