EVERY WEEK I GO TO BABYZONE.COM OR BABYCENTER, BASICALLY ANY WEBSITE I CAN GET MY HANDS ON, AND CHECK OUT WHAT I CAN BE EXPECTING FOR THE COMING WEEK, FETAL DEVELOPMENT, ETC.... AND I'M ACTUALLY A DAY LATE SINCE MY WEEKS CHANCE OVER ON A SATURDAY. BUT HEY, BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
FIRST THING I NOTICED WHEN I WENT TO THE PAGE WAS HOW EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ADVERTISING THAT BABY'S ALMOST HERE! SO SCARY! EXCITING BUT DEFINITELY SCARY. "HAVE YOUR DIAPER BAG PACKED? GOT THE SUITCASE READY TO GO? MAPPED OUT YOUR ALTERNATE ROUTE TO THE HOSPITAL YET?" AHHH!!! THEY'RE FREAKING ME OUT!!! FORTUNATELY I DO HAVE THE DIAPER BAG PACKED, SORT OF. IT'S ALL ORGANIZED FOR NOW AT LEAST! WELL, UNTIL BABY GETS HERE AND I WON'T BE CARING ABOUT RETURNING THE NUK TO THE SPECIFIC POCKET I HAVE DEDICATED TO IT RIGHT NOW. BIRTH PLAN, MOSTLY CHECK. IN CASE YOU ARE LIKE I WAS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A BIRTH PLAN IS, IT'S THE SHEET THAT YOU TAKE TO THE HOSPITAL THAT HAS ALL OF YOUR SPECIFICATIONS FOR LABOR/DELIVERY. AND LET ME TELL YOU, WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT THAT WAS TO FINISH. I WAS SUPER CONFIDENT WHEN I STARTED IT, GOT TO THE FIRST BULLET AND DETERMINED THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. BUT I THINK FOR THE MOST PART I HAVE EVERYTHING FINISHED ON THERE. FOR INSTANCE, IT TOOK ME ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO FIGURE OUT THAT I DID NOT WANT AN ENEMA UPON ARRIVAL TO THE HOSPITAL! I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF THAT'S STANDARD PRACTICE ANYMORE, BUT I CHECKED 'NO' JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.
BACK TO WHAT I CAN EXPECT FOR THIS WEEK: MOOORE WEIGHT GAIN! WOOOHOOOO. LUCKILY I THINK THE BULK OF THE WEIGHT WILL BE GOING RIGHT TO MINI-ME. HE'S GAINING ABOUT HALF A POUND A WEEK UNTIL DELIVERY. WHICH IS, QUITE A BIT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT! HALF A POUND EVERY WEEK ADDING ONTO MY BELLY. YAY ....! I THINK HE'S GOING TO BE A CHUBBER :) WITH ESPECIALLY CUTE PINCHABLE CHEEKS. LETS SEE, MORE BRAXTON HICKS! HOORAH HOORAH. THOSE ARE THE PRACTICE CONTRACTIONS THAT HAVE ME WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT NOW. THEY'RE NOT "PAINFUL" BUT YOU CAN'T EXACTLY CALL YOUR ENTIRE BELLY AND ABDOMEN CRAMPING UP FOR 2 MINUTES COMFORTABLE. IT SERIOUSLY LOOKS LIKE MY STOMACH JUST TAKES ON SHAPES AND HARDENS UP LIKE A ROCK. ABSOLUTELY NOT PLEASANT AT ALL. HM, OH IT JUST GETS BETTER. THE INCREASING WEIGHT OF BABY WILL CONTINUE PUSHING ON MY BACK AND RIBS MAKING BREATHING (MORE) UNCOMFORTABLE (GREEEEAT) AND THE BACKACHES CONTINUE. HEATING PAD HERE I COME! ALL THE DISCOMFORTS ASIDE, ITS PRETTY COOL WATCHING HIM MOVE. MY WHOLE BELLY JUST ROLLS OVER NOW. HE REALLY LIKES THE RIGHT SIDE, ALOT. AS A RESULT I HAVE A LOBSIDED PREGGERS BELLY. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY STOMACH IS ALL SQUISHY STILL, YOU CAN POKE IT ALL YOU WANT! THE RIGHT SIDE, HOWEVER, IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE MY STOMACH IS ACTUALLY STICKING STRAIGHT OUT OF MY SIDE RATHER THAN OUT FRONT. IT'S KIND OF FUNNY! HE ESPECIALLY LIKES ELBOWING ME RIGHT IN THE RIBS. WELL, I THINK IT'S HIS ELBOW ANYWAY. FIGURING OUT WHICH BODY PART IT IS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A GUESSING GAME.
