38 Week Update


Well... baby is still happy and healthy in its little home so not much to report at all. I have now entered the "you might explode at any moment" stage but based on yesterday's appointment Ringo is still sitting quite high. I do feel different so I think things might be moving a tiny bit but not enough to be considered any sort of progress. I went from feeling fine to quite uncomfortable almost over night and it now seems like no sleeping position works and I would be happier standing all day instead of sitting at my desk. Although I am not nearly as large as the majority of the ladies I saw at the doctors office yesterday I honestly feel like I'm the size of a house! I do know that something is going to happen sometime between now and October 7 which is the 41 week mark and as far as they will let anyone go. I am hoping baby will drop on its own before then so keep your fingers crossed.

Baby or no baby, we have a busy weekend ahead with soccer, volleyball and football. I will be working all of the events and Karl will be tailgating and enjoying them from the stands. The weather is supposed to be beautiful all weekend and the Benders are coming to visit so that is exciting. Looking forward to a Boilermaker football victory after we decided to let Oregon take last weeks game!

I never noticed that the boys "dropped" until someone at work would tell me. After I checked myself out in the mirror, they would be right. But it never felt any different to me.

I think it is great that you are staying super active up until the baby comes. Just don't push yourself too hard...

We'll keep checking back to see when the munchkin arrives. I vote for 10/1. That is John's birthday. He guessed his exact birthday and states on your baby pool. ha ha...

p.s. you've officially beat me at being pregnant - I never got to go past 38 weeks. :)
