following up...
36wk checkup:
I'm apparently softening nicely but not dilated much or effaced at all. I'm thinkin' the cub'll be late. I hope I'm wrong.
MM estimates that the baby is about 7 lbs.
"7 lbs?! Isn't that kinda huge?" I asked, slightly worried. "It's not scrawny but it's nothing you can't handle" was her answer, which made me happy.
My total weight gain this pregnancy is: 17 lbs.
Birthing class was canceled last night so Ali and I sat on the couch to plan an exciting night of fun together but immediately just fell asleep. We woke up at 9 and ate ice cream and chatted and then I fell asleep again while he played a video game. Good times. I feel better about everything. Talk and sleep = major healing power.
MM also told me it's the craziness around me that's probably making me so tired, not the baby. Dealing with stressful family and work situations can exhaust a person, apparently. She recommended swimming, sleeping, eating and letter-writing. We'll see.
