Hap-pee-ness!!

lol...36 weeks...and not soon enough. Being pregnant is a beautiful blessing that God has bestowed upon women. Any woman who has had the opportunity to carry a child I'm sure would agree that pregnancy is a wonderful experience....but daggonit! I'm tired. Not to be a complaining, ungrateful...uhhhhhh.....blankety blank blank. My feet are swollen...I've got a cold (can't take anything...when you're preggo)....my back hurts...I have 0 (zero) energy...frankly I'm a beached whale. I love my baby...and I love that I have been blessed to have this experience...Baby take your time...but hurry up!

Well...good news...I've dilated 2cms...and have lost my mucus plug....which means baby could come in a fews days or a few weeks (nothing I didn't already know...due date March 21st....pretty broad range if you ask me). But maybe if I keep going at this rate...I'll be holding baby in my arms in a week in a half. :) Best case scenario is two weeks from now...b/c she'll be fully prepared for the world (38 weeks).

Supposedly its possible to speed up the process...(kids don't try this at home!!!) but rumor has it that if you have sex Sex SEX (lots of it) it could naturally induce labor. Ummmmm.....I'm trying not to get any bright ideas....I already told my husband about it. He's pretty serious about the two week thing...which I know I know ...I want whats best for baby...I believe she'll be ok at 36 or 37 weeks though...but who am I (oh yeah I'm her mother...best interest..ooops!) She's measuring bigger anyway...maybe she's done incubating...maybe subconsciously she's asking to come out (maybe? or maybe I'm just delusional from sleep deprivation....)

Well...I'm keeping myself at bay by watching those baby birthing shows...maybe I'm not ready yet for all that fun...ouch!

So much to say...oh so tired


People....I's tired....and its funny b/c this isn't even the start of it....like mommy boot camp or something. I stepped on the scale...195...seriously. I still have a month to go, and I feel like I'm carrying octuplets. Its funny too...I've been having all kinds of crazy dreams about having babies....lol. I'm so nervous about being mommy, but excited at the same time. But OUCH my back...and ooooOOOOHHhhhhhh my feet are swollen. I can't complain...though...no stretch marks....yet :/
