Pregnant and Poppin

Just in case you were wondering, this is what I looked like on Sunday... at 39.5 weeks (why do I have the .5 in there? I'm not sure). I can't believe my EDD is tomorrow! As is my next Doctor's appointment. Wouldn't it be funny if I went into labour while at the clinic?


This baby is low... or at least it feels that way. M was as well, so I guess I should be used to that, right? Squirmy little guy, too. Not too bad... hasn't hurt my insides yet (ha ha), but I definitely know when he/she is awake! And no... I really have no clue as to what I'm having. Right now, from the poll in my pregnancy album, the tally is 5 guessing boy, and 6 guessing girl. Pretty Even Steven... with M it seemed everyone was guessing boy, and only a couple of people thought it would be a girl. Then again, a lot of people are hoping it will be a boy... mainly family, ha ha.

What do you think? I should put a poll up, just for fun!

I've been having Braxton's regularly. If you can call them regular. On Monday I literally had one every half hour from 4:30 till 8... then I didn't bother keeping track anymore (I couldn't really feel them... they were there, and the pressure was intense, but they didn't hurt, thank goodness. I just kept feeling my stomach when I felt major pressure and it would be hard as rock). They stopped by the time we went to bed. I don't remember having them this often with M. I know I had a few, and they were very much the same feeling as these, but they didn't come as often... or maybe I just didn't notice them as much.

And I want to paint... and renovate... and fix the yard... and do all my cleaning and laundry and everything all at once (cleaning and laundry are all done already, but that yard keeps calling my name... there are a few loads of dirt I need to purchase, though). Oh, don't worry. I won't do any of that crazy stuff... I'd love to, but I won't (I really don't need to have dozens of people telling me how insane I am... plus I don't feel like smelling paint right now. Nope... don't need that). But my dreams are filled with fixing things in this house. How crazy... as if I haven't done enough work in the last few months...

I did exercise today... which made me feel sick to my stomach afterwards... so no more of that (I don't understand... I did easy stuff!).

So, here I am, patiently (or not so much) waiting for this baby to decide to grace us with his/her presence! Perhaps some of the crazies will leave me after that! Or not.

You look terrific!!! I am so glad that you posted this because I had been wondering how you were doing. What an exciting time! I am not due until June but by this point, I am on pins and needles. I don't know what I will be like by your stage!
I am praying that you have a safe, easy delivery and I can't wait to hear all about the new arrival!

You look FANTASTIC girl! Especially for being at the END! You did it! Wowza :) (I don't know about you, but that pregnancy flew for me!, Lol!)

I had so many Braxton Hicks, that I drove myself crazy trying to keep track, that I just had to NOT. I figured if I REALLY was in labor, BUDDY I would know!

I honestly can't guess what you are having, but I sure can't WAIT TO FIND OUT!!! AHHHCK! Please, baby come now :) I really am so excited for you guys!!!!

I think BOY.

Or maybe GIRL.

I don't know! But I can't wait to "meet" him... or her... or him... or her... :-)

I'm SO EXCITED!
