Uggghhh!

I normally try to be upbeat with my blogs...not too much complaining, when in reality sometimes life is just a little too much to deal with! So here is one of those complaining blogs! I went back to the doctor on Friday and I have dilated to 1 cm!!! The doctor was quite shocked that in 2 days, I dilated. She said he looks like he'll be here before we know it, but then after every exciting comment she would make about him coming soon...she had to always back it up with a BUT it's alright if he doesn't come for another 2 weeks.

I'm at the point where I dread bed time because I toss and turn all night because I can't get comfortable or thinking maybe I need to go to the bathroom. Nausea still gets me, but I am in love with Zofran. I didn't think it really worked in the 1st trimester, but it sure has helped the last 4 days! I obviously have been unaffected in regards to weight gain by the nausea though, because I gained 2 more pounds in 2 days making a grand total of 27 pounds gained for this pregnancy. I have 6 more to go to get up to the same weight I gained with Addison.

Lots of people have commented on how am I still at work? or at the store? or walking around? My mother always would have a comment for this...pregnancy is not a sickness, it's a fact of life. I just simply smile and say he's coming soon. I'm still alive; eating, working, being a wife and mother, and somewhat sleeping until baby Eli gets here...just don't ask how I'm doing...I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant...let's just say I'm ready to hold my sweet baby in my arms and introduce him to his big sister (who is such a sweet and compassionate little girl who has tried really hard to help mommy feel "all better")!
