The HUGE belly!

Oh, I feel so huge. I finally remembered to get my hubby to take new pictures of me last night at 36 weeks and 5 days. He just keeps commenting on how HUGE my belly is. Am I supposed to take that as a compliment? B/c I'm not quite sure yet.

Not breeched!

So I went to the doctor yesterday and my baby is no longer breech. My prayers were answered and so were everybody else's. I had everybody praying that this baby would turn. The doc thinks he has dropped a little as well. I'm not sure if I can tell that this has happened. I will say it is slightly more painful to walk this week then it was last week and my MIL told me last night that it appeared to her as if my stomach was shaped a little bit different than it was on Monday night. Funny...I can't tell any of these things. I do know though in church trying to sing is a bit more difficult each and everyday and I get winded so much easier than I used to. And I hated it...my husband woke me up this morning out of such a sound sleep. I was OUT, why I can't be this out of it at 2-3 in the morning, I don't know. It is frustrating to say the least. Anyway, since I am still working and my hubby and I carpool, he had to get me up to go to work. If we did not carpool...I would still be in bed right now. LOL!
On the nursery front, while my hubby and I were having our taxes done on Saturday, my mother and step-father came to our house and set up the crib! YAY! One more thing done in the nursery. One thing I need to get on is packing my hospital bag...waiting for some nursing clothes to come in to pack and to get everything else together that I need to prep for Michael Henry's arrival. He looked so perfectly content in the ultrasound yesterday. His foot was up by his head; my hubby said he must have been sucking on his toes or something. Ha...you never know. I had no idea he was head down...he has not kicked me in the ribs. I will say his movements are slightly more painful than the last couple of weeks probably because he has strong, long legs. It felt the other day like he was trying to come out of me through the belly button. That hurt a little.

Anyways, I should get back to reading this application. These people want their permit by tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Grrr!

Breech...

Alright, 2 weeks have gone by and no baby yet. Of course, his due date is still about 4 weeks away. We went to the doctor about a week and a half ago and reconfirmed that our baby is in the breech position. I don't know if I went into labor now if he would try to come out feet first or butt first. They say they may do an ultrasound next week just to figure out exactly where he is sitting within me. Maybe they can also see if I have funky shaped uterus or not...one conducive to him flipping or one where he may just stay where he is comfy and cozy. We met with a lactation consultant early this week and she asked me something about the way my uterus is shaped and I told her that I don't know anything about the way my uterus is shaped. I just know my last annual exam was REALLY painful if that says anything at all.
So anyway, other news. The nursery is off to a start. I never really thought I would have much of a nursery but my mother and cousin came to the house last week and painted the room for us. YAY! I was happy about that. Now I want to see stuff in it. All it has in it now is a bookshelf. I will take pictures and post them when we get more stuff in there which will hopefully be rather soon! So that is all for now. I have another baby shower at my husbands work at 1 today...more stuff but I am looking forward to the cake. That is terrible of me I know...I hope they have a cake. Hmmm...

Another day...another blog

Since I have tried the Xanga.com 'thing', I can't really get people to follow that one. I thought I would try this one and start it a afresh with news of Michael Henry. This will be a blog mainly about him but also about the lives of his parents too. This is a new journey for us, a first baby for us. I am sure it will be a blast once I get used to being a new mommy. He has not entered this world yet outside of me that is. BUT it should be in the near future, today being 2/9/09 and he is due sometime around 3/21/09. There is this debate whether he will come early or late...only God knows. My hubby says he will come when he is ready to come and not sooner or later. So we shall see about that. Anyhow, I will post a picture of me 4 weeks ago. I need to update that and my mother got a great picture of me sort of dressed up yesterday for a baby shower and I will just have to see if I can get her to email the picture to me so I can post it here.
