My growing Jelly belly

Week 38

We’re in the home stretch (literally). One way or another, I’m having this baby in the next two weeks. Doctor checked today and I’m 2 cm dilated. If she hasn’t already popped out this next week, we’re scheduled to probably get induced on Monday the 29th. The ironic part is, our doctor’s wife is having a baby this next week, so he will be taking all week off. So if our baby comes next week too, we’ll probably be helped out by some other doctor. I’d really rather have ours, but I also know the importance of being flexible. Also, when we finally get to the point where he actually plays a role, I probably won’t be very aware (or really care) who’s there and who isn’t.

As far as how I’m feeling: I think I must be faring a lot better than most people at this point, because I really don’t feel all that miserable. Yes, I’m pretty tired of it, and I do have my aches and pains. But honestly, and I don’t mean to be crude, but having my period gives me a lot more pain and misery, and that happens twelve times a year. So, I can handle this. I’ve been having some cramp-like pains every now and then, and my pelvis is pretty achy. I think it could happen this week, but perhaps it’s just wishful thinking. The house is still a wreck, so I don’t think I’m quite that close yet

We’re both very ready. Jason’s almost done with his project, so she has his permission to come whenever she’d like. She has my full permission too (and then some). Until then, we wait. I will admit, though. I have had the urge to go out and get myself some salsa
