My current status...I feel like a whale!

So heres a couple recent pictures of me to give everyone an idea. People still say I look small, but I think they are trying to be nice. :) This first one is from my baby shower on the 11th. So I was a couple days shy of 38weeks.

This next one is the following Saturday, we went up to Austin to watch Mark's younger brother run in the state cross county meet, then went to Ikea, and out to eat with his parents. I was a fun little trip. That weekend it was cold and windy, I realized I don't have any warm weather maternity clothes, so somehow I squeezed into this jacket. I would say this is not the best picture of me, I felt like I was about to pop. Which I guess is pretty close to the truth!

38.5 weeks along!



So my last doctors appointment she "checked me" and said I was dilated just to a 1 and about 50% effaced (or however you spell it). So I guess that's some progress, although I'm not counting on anything happening anytime soon. But I'm ready for when ever he does decided to come. Next appointment on Tuesday, so we'll see where we're at then! Technically I'm due on Thursday, Thanksgiving day. Knowing my luck he'll come on that day and I'll miss out on all the good food. :) My mom & dad will be here Dec. 2nd, so I hope he makes an appearance by then!

So for now we are just hanging out waiting. I'm definitely getting more uncomfortable and I'm not sleeping much either. I stopped working this past week. I just decided that there was no need to push myself and be really tired, plus my feet and ankles are swelling a lot too. So that's my update for now, hopefully he gets here soon!

So glad you posted an update! You look like you're all belly! The rest of you is tiny. It's hard when you get to that really uncomfortable no sleeping stage, but hang in there, you're almost done!

Have a great Thanksgiving! (Maybe he'll come the day after so you can enjoy your holiday.)

I am soooo jealous! I am only 36 weeks along, so I have more time to go. It sounds like things are moving in the right direction. Tell that baby not to come on Thanksgiving!! By the way, you look very cute prego!!
