Pregnancy 36 Weeks
- Sooo...big news! At our prenatal this week Risa told us that I am 1/2cm dilated, 80% effaced, and at a -1 station. My cervix is softening and totally getting ready for this little girl to join us. I'm totally psyched and beyond ready!
- Other than that, same old symptoms.
- Except for the back pain I've been graced with every once in a while. Feels sharp, kinda like she's leaning an elbow in between my vertebrae.
- Braxton hicksing like crazy.
- And the sleep thing has been tough.
- Beyond me needing to constantly pee (which I'm so tired I can ignore and sleep through lots of the time) and it taking a buttload of energy to heave my humungoid belly from one side to the other when I need to flip sides I'm sleeping on, Avi's been waking up congested in the middle of the night a couple times from allergies.
- Can't catch a break!
- Either way, I'm psyched to be progressing, looking forward to all the vegan pie I ordered for Rosh Hashana (pumpkin and apple of course) , and am hoping that'll be the last of the baby weight I put on as opposed to take off;)
- As for the baby, she's 18.5", about 6lbs, and a crenshaw melon.
- Oh and every night, when I'm in my pj's (which never fit all the way over my belly anymore), and washing up or whatnot and Richie catches a side glance at me at the sink, he gets a good laugh. My belly's hanging so damn low it looks like it's gonna fall right off. At least someone's getting a smile out of it;)
