Full term

Basically I could pop any day now. Baby girl is pretty well developed at this point and is just putting on weight. And I think I can feel every ounce. Last night specifically was a little rough. I had a lot of hip and pelvic pain which made it hard to get comfortable. Add in the anxiety I'm starting to feel about the surgery and I don't think I slept much at all.

I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is still right on schedule. The baby's heart rate was at 148 and she was kicking around the whole time. I was very impressed when I got on the scale and there was ZERO weight gain. Not one pound in nine days. I was so happy. So happy that I went to get a frappuccino and then I felt horrible the rest of the day. I'm swelling just a little bit, but nothing compared to Addison.

Things are starting to come together. I still have some straightening up to do in the nursery, but I can't find the motivation. I guess I'm not too concerned since she'll be in the bassinet for awhile. I probably should pack a bag for the hospital just in case. I'm excited, anxious and a little nervous all at the same time.

Here are some self portraits. I figured out how to use the timer on my good camera. And I figured it's been awhile since I've shown my face. Not the best since it was taken in the bathroom mirror, but you get the idea.


And...I think Michael and I have come up with a name. Just like Addison, it's the only thing that we can both agree on. He's a little more into it than I am, but I like it and it's growing on me. I actually spent some time thinking about it last night when I couldn't sleep. I think since I've made it this far that I'll just keep it to myself for another two weeks. :)
