I am so fat and pregnant. Granted, I've gained all of 19lbs since I got pregnant, but it's all in my UTEROUS and it's crushing my organs. I sleep all the time because the quality of my sleep sucks. I waddle when I walk. My feet and ankles are HUGE. It takes too much energy to move. I'm hot all the time.
5 weeks to go....
The baby is doing really well, according to my doctors. He moves all the time, mostly at NIGHT when my tired ass is trying to sleep. He kicks the crap out of me. I had a book on my stomach the other night and he kicked it OFF. I have my last ultrasound on the 25th to figure out how big he is and approximately when he's going to be born. There is a slight possibility that he won't wait until my due date because, even those he's normal, he's at the large end of normal. I don't care when he comes, just as long as he's all done incubating. So far, my plan is to do this birth thing the old natural way, but that might change after I have my first contraction. I do NOT want to be induced and, if I can absolutely help it, I don't want a c-section either. Of course, if you need one you need one.
I'm excited and nervous and scared all at the same time. I am VERY much looking forward to being the only one in this body.
