Week 38 & 39: Done

Hi Lovelies,

Since last Wednesday, I've been on and off my ass with a cold.  Since I am so pregnant, my Doctor thinks that I won't be able to really fight this cold until I have the baby. URG.

I've done all I can to get this baby out. I started off with yoga; I went to acupuncture on Friday; there was a full moon on Sat; and I went to spicy food on Sunday! I might have had a few contractions after the spicy food- but I am guessing it was really just indigestion. URG.

For most of last week, I was able to actually get stuff done and rest.  As of Sunday morning, I've been on my ass. Pretty much useless. At night, I am up every hour on the hour- either to go the bathroom or switch sides because my arm has fallen asleep. This pregnancy has been pretty decent BUT this cold is killing me.

I am done. So ready to meet this little lady.

And honestly, I have no hope of her coming any day soon. I am 75% sure she'll be late and I'll be induced. My Doctor won't induce until between 41 and 42 weeks- sooo most likely right around Christmas. I know that she'll come when she comes, but with Christmas and Hanukkah I would REALLY like her to come before the holidays. Not to mention, Mama Sugar comes into town on Thursday- to celebrate her birthday, and Mama Spice comes into town on the 20th.

I cringe at the thought of everyone sitting around just waiting for this baby to arrive.

Can you tell I am frustrated? The only good thing today was my two hour nap after taking benadryl.

Alright, enough complaining. You've seen my 38 week belly shot:

Here I am on Saturday night before a holiday party with the best smile I could muster:

 

So all this to say, if your still reading, keep your fingers crossed and send labor dust my way!!
