Ok, so I am officially 9 months pregnant. For those of you who don't know, god decided it would be cute if he says 9 months but doesn't actually mean 9 months, he means 9 full months, like 9 months and 4 weeks, which, in translation, is 10 months, that's 10 LONG months! I thought it was great when I lost 1 lb 2 dr. visits ago, and one of the guys at work said he noticed I was looking a bit slimmer. Well, I must have took that to my head, because 2 weeks after that, I gained 5 lbs.
My baby is breech, which means her head is up, rather than in the birthing position. If she doesn't flip in the next 2 weeks, I will probably have a cesearaen. I can pick her birth date, I kind of like August 16th, but that's the anniversary of Elvis' death, so maybe we'll skip that.
My hands, feet, arms, and legs have been so itchy for the past 2 weeks, I feel like cutting them off with a butter knife. Aveeno baths and gold bond lotion are not cutting it for me, long dragon lady nails and bloody ankles seem to do the trick. They say it's my skin stretching, but I've never met a pregnant woman with stretched out knuckles, have you??
I've been told I now have lips like Angelina Jolie, to which I repond...oh really??
I had a scare that my water broke a few nights ago when I woke up and the bed was wet, as was my hair and nightgown. As I woke Ernesto up in a panic and turned on the light, I realized it wasn't my water breaking, but rather the air conditioner leaking (it's right above my head, that's why my hair was wet). And why would I think that wet hair and a wet nightgown would mean water breaking, they're not even near each other!!
Anyhow, the baby's furniture arrived the other day, so the room is pretty much finished. My shower was Sunday, July 9th, and I am so proud to say that Paula and Steve were both there, and that was the highlight of my day! I have like 150 bibs and got pretty much everything a pregnant woman should ever need for her first child.
I feel pretty calm, I am not nervous about this yet, and I'm not sure if I will be. We still haven't packed the bag, although we've been talking about doing it for 2 weeks now. I know she's in there, and she's pretty comfortable, I don't blame her for not coming out or turning around, who wants to be upside down for that long anyway??
I'll be visiting my doctor every week on Tuesdays now, and soon I shall have good news for you!
Until then, I remain...
