Week 37

Tomorrow I will be 37 weeks pregnant and Connor will be considered full term. I realized tonight I have been pregnant now for 258 days....that's a LONG time. I am getting tired of everyone saying "not much longer" "only a few more weeks"... I even snapped at Joey today when he said it. I told him when he had been pregnant for 258 days he could then provide the "it's only a few more weeks" phrase. He doesn't realize that three weeks seems like an eternity a this point.

Had my appointment today. Everything was doing well. Blood pressure was about the same. Higher than normal, but not higher than the past couple of weeks. Swelling has been hit and miss. So,with all of that said she decided I didn't have to make my third trip to the hospital this week for more tests. I informed the doc that the next time I darkened the doors at Rose Medical Center I better be having a baby!

Actually, I really shouldn't complain. I am one of the lucky ones that can actually still sleep at night. My biggest problem is walking. Connor has always sat low in my tummy, but lately I think he is just going to fall out. Add onto that the Brackston Hicks contractions that I have every day, all day and you will wish they were real contractions. I was telling Joey tonight that when they come on during the day I feel like I have to pee so bad, but I can't get up from my chair because of the pressure and tightening. Then when the contraction subsides I go to the bathroom and I barely pee.  I have been one of those women other women hate during this pregnancy because I have just LOVED being pregnant, until about 3 weeks ago. Yes, I am uncomfortable, but I am just really excited to meet the little guy, hold him, kiss him and see who he look like. Oh, and I would also like to have my body back....to myself.
