So for memory's sake... Here is what is going on with my pregnancy right now.
I have 21 days left until my due date and everything is going great. I am measuring a little bit small, which is weird b/c I feel huge. But at my last doctor's appointment they did an ultrasound just to make sure the baby was still growing like he should, and he is. As of last Thursday he weighed 5 lbs 10 oz, which is in the 35th percentile, which isn't huge, but we never thought this kid would be. They say I am measuring small because the baby is really low.
The last few days I have been having false labor like crazy. At least, that's what I am calling it. Just really bad contractions that hurt a whole lot. There isn't really a rhythm to them, which is what makes me think it is not true labor. I am guessing my body will do a lot of the work beforehand and then this delivery will go relatively quickly. We'll see.
I am NOT enjoying this heat very much at all. I have been swelling like crazy! (Can you say "Cankles"?) And we don't have air conditioning at our house. So if you catch me wandering around Walmart with nothing in my cart, I am not lost, I am just cooling off :) And if you see me without my wedding ring on, it's not because I am a single mom, so don't ask me that either. I am also having more trouble sleeping, just because I am so uncomfortable and usually have crazy bad heart burn (I should buy stock in Tums). And I am easily exhausted. I feel like I ran a marathon at the end of every day.
This pregnancy has gone really well. In general it has been harder than my first pregnancy in every way, but still pretty easy in comparison to some people's pregnancies. And more than anything I am just excited to be a mom of two beautiful little boys. I feel so lucky and happy everyday that we are expecting another little bundle of joy. And I am feeling a little bit nervous about being a mom of two, and little nervous about going through child birth again, but mostly just excited for the end result... a beautiful little boy.
Oh yeah, and we have the names narrowed down to a few favorites, but for the sake of anticipation, I'm not telling what they are. haha.

I can sympathize with the unpleasant end of pregnancy symptoms. The end is in sight and this month. Crazy. Good luck working around the lack of a/c. Not fun.
Good luck getting through your last three weeks!
Good luck with this last couple of weeks! Let me know if you need ANYTHING... a break from Adney, a playmate for Adney, a fan, anything. :)
