Week 37

This is going to be a crabby, whiney post.... wow I thought I was crabby yesterday, today tops it off, Rodney should be thankful he is working out of town! Not sure if I can even handle myself today!

I am officially tired of being pregnant and even though we are not ready, I would welcome his arrival anytime now! My ankles are swelling every day now, and it used to be just at the end of the day, well here were are at 10 am and my left one is as big as a house, and it hurts! My back is friggen killing me from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed, my belly is so stretched it isn't even funny, it just aches, itches and is so sore! I am also really tired of going to the doctor!

With that being said, I had my checkup lastnight and had to take the boys with me so she didn't check me, which is fine with me! Everything is good, I am up 36 lbs, heartbeat is about 150, it started at 140 and went up to 160 which she said was good, sounded kind of weird to me! She said because he was sideways at my last ultrasound (21 weeks) that she wants to do another u/s to make sure he is headdown. Even though she told me last week he was head down, but high up. Seriously can he move in a week, I mean he can't possibly have any more room in there to move around that much can he? So I go have another u/s on Friday to see if he is head down (which I am pretty sure he is, I can feel his feet pushing underneath my boobs! I made my next appt. for a few more days out just because I am tired of seeing my doctor (she is not my usual doctor and I really don't care for her) - hey at least I am honest right!? It will be fun though to see him at this stage, I have never had an u/s this late in the game, so I guess that is a benefit, plus I can leave work early for this appointment!

I will close now before I whine anymore, hey I figure I can, I didn't whine nor complain with either of the boys, so it is about time I do, and it feels good! Later ~

You can whine all you want- you have the right to at 37 weeks prego! Almost there and for your sake- I hope this little bean decides to come out to the world early-- next week would be great huh! : ) Ultra sounds near the end aren't quite as fun.. it's hard to see things because they are so squished in there- I had an U/S at 41 weeks-- still cool to see though!!

Whining at this stage in a pregnancy is expected and people will be sympathetic. Take full advantage while you can - once the baby is here though, forget it! I hope you feel better soon, meaning I hope the little one comes sooner rather than later.
