I have officially 9 1/2 weeks remaining (68 days) but I have already told my doctor that she better not make me go the full 40 weeks. This old body of mine just can't handle much more of this. I get about 2 1/2 hours of sleep at night for a couple nights and then on the third night I take a couple Tylenol PM's and totally crash! This week for some reason has been really hard and I have the sneakiest feeling that each week from here on out will only get harder.
People that have never seen me preggers before tell me how cute I am and people that have seen me through either one or both of my other pregnancies tell me "Wow, you're not very big!" They know! I gained like 55 pounds with my other two and so far have only gained 26 with this one. Granted that all can change in 9 weeks but we'll see. And their right, I'm not very big in comparison to my other pregnancies. With my other two, I was huge and huge all over. This time it's all my belly, which to be honest is nice "Really" looking pregnant and not just FAT!
She currently is almost 3 pounds and is about 15 1/2 inches from head to toe (according to http://www.babycenter.com/). I'm told that they do scheduled c-sections no more than ten days prior to the due date so I'm going to ask on Monday, my next doctors appointment, if we can induce then too. It would be nice to have a date, my parents who are 500 miles away, to tell my family. That would put us at October 20th but I don't know if she'll go for it or not.
I have a website made up just for our little baby boo, she's one of my peep links if your interested. It's all about the pregnancy right now but when she's born that's where the majority of my postings and photos about her will be.
Tomorrow is Skylar's 8th birthday party at Jump 4 Joey's, it's one of those inflatable, indoor places. She is on cloud nine, she hasn't had a birthday party outside of the house before, I've always done them here and I WILL NOT do it this year, I physically can't! And I have found out that you pay for the convenience of places like this, holy cow! But for me right now it's worth every penny! Travis is having boy's night out with Chase tonight, Chase is at the age where he really needs the one on one time with his dad, and Skylar and I went to eat and to pick up her...Hannah Montana cake. Like that's a surprise! Her birthday is actually on Monday and I'll take a cookie cake up to the school so she can celebrate it with her classmates and then we'll take her to dinner that night. She's watching the new Cheetah Girls movie on Disney right this very minute. She is definitely your typical little girl.
Well, I'm gonna jet, I need to lay down and get these feet out from under my rib cage.
