So we are 38 weeks...wow, some days it felt like we would never get here..Despite the milestone, not too much excitement to report. We are getting even more ready (read: restless). Even the midwife looked at my belly sympathetically last week and said, "yup, we just got to get her out now" -- Ive been having pretty bad nausea and feel ready to pop. I imagine this must be what it feels like when you blow up a balloon beyond capacity, and then add a bit more air. I guess I should be thankful I haven't swelled in other places -- my "rock hard" abs, ur...belly is definitely enough!
We have tried every "trick" in the book to encourage her to come'on out and I am going to acupuncture today. Hopefully some relaxing needling will get things moving. Otherwise, sorry I've been so lame at commenting these days, I AM SO TIRED...

I was just ruminating on how, while one's own pregnancy seems to drag on for...ev...er, others' go so fast I feel like I can hardly keep up! I cannot wait for your big news!! I am 3 1/2 weeks in and it is murderously exhausting (I have not seen so many 3 a.m.s since my first year in college.) but wonderful beyond words... I hope the acupuncture kicks things into gear. Have you talked to your midwife about blue & black cohosh?
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting Pluty ready for the world!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're definitely ready so hopefully Pluty will get the idea and come along!
