How are the dogs gonna be? Oh, how many times people have asked this question. Who knows. But I have a feeling they are in for QUITE a rude awakening when cuddling time goes from a total of about an hour or two a day to a total of none a day (plus or minus a couple minutes).
They've gotten somewhat used to not climbing on me since I've been protecting my belly for the last several months; but when they get no love from me, Jordan is there to comfort them. Luckily, Jordan will cuddle with whoever or whatever is willing (really, ask him to cuddle the next time you see him, he'll most likely tackle you on the spot and you'll come-to in the arms of a bearded man who is spooning you ever so gently). "Just go with it" he'll whisper into your ear. Either that or, "It will be our little secret." Trust me, just go with it.
He also kisses without abandon. Here is Cosette enjoying a smooch. It's too bad I couldn't quite capture Eponine's jealous face in the picture. That's right Cosette, you can kiss your old way of life goodbye, it's Boaz's turn.
This was me about a week ago I think. Today I'm 38+3 weeks, feeling quite LARGE. And, it happened, I've passed 200 pounds. At least I was 199 at my last appt, and I've eaten nothing but LOADS of sweets and carbs since then. I walk at least an hour a day and only eat when I'm hungry. The problem is, you guessed it, I'm ALWAYS hungry. What a horrible way to live. You hear about these super-obese people who don't have that switch in their brain that says "I'm full." I think my "full switch" has a short. But, my overall weight gain is within normal, as long as he comes out SOON! If he waits much more than 2 weeks, I'm afraid I'll be venturing out of my 25-35 pound suggested weight gain. But, there are worse things to have happen to a girl.
38+3 and counting
cervix- .5 cm (as of 37+5 wks), long (not effaced) but soft (the nurse practioner told me to be encouraged by that at least "let's focus on the positive" she says. I kinda wanted to smack her)
head position- down, but not in pelvis yet
Back- aching only after my long daily walks, and/or in the morning when I get up (and when I get up to pee at 3 am and then again at 5am)
Labor plans- just hoping for some contractions, but considering my options for induction since I know my doctor will be asking next appt (on thursday).
So, Boaz, come out and play soon. I'm afraid you'll get too big and ruin mommy's downstairs. No one wants a vag-anus. These holes are meant to be separated. So, come out. I know what you're waiting for, but you're wrong: The world will never be ready for you.
