Thirty-Seven Weeks
Thirty-seven weeks. If they hadn't just changed the definition of "term" I'd be celebrating that I'd reached full term! But, as it is, I guess I can still celebrate reaching "early term" :)
There is so much going on right now that it's making my head spin a little bit. Life is speeding up and slowing down at the same time. I'm in shock that I've reached my last day of work in the office. I'm not sure what it's going to feel like to not be a part of this place for the next 14ish weeks. It's a short time, but it's a long time! And it's time that I am so grateful to have.
My body is starting to finally feel pregnant, too. I'm starting to get achy, experiencing some rib pain, my hips are popping all the time and my legs are getting tired and I can't eat as much at once because baby is just taking up quite a bit of room. And I'm still pretty tired in the evenings. Pretty worthless around the house. Pretty much.
I had to cancel my appointment yesterday afternoon because my car window wouldn't roll up. The regulator/motor/something stopped working. And yesterday it decided to rain. So. My car spent the afternoon in the shop and I missed a weekly appointment. I don't mind so much though.. they had me set to come back on Monday anyway. So I'll find out if I'm GBS then I suppose.
Otherwise, things are mostly the same... just trying to wrap up as much as possible before the new year. Oh! Also, I started listening to some hypnobabies tracks. I know it's a little late in the game, but anything to help me relax and trust my body to do what it was made to do can't hurt, right?
