Let the countdown begin!!

Thats right. Jake will be here either Dec. 6 or 7th via c-section! According to the Dr., my pubic arch is very small, so this will be the safest way for Baby Jake!

that is 9/10 days away!

I have an ultrasound appt and my LAST prenatal Dr. appt. this Wed, where we will see how big he is and set the csection date! We are planning on the 7th, but we'll see how things go!!

I am so excited but slighly freaking out! I'm thinking of all the things I would like to get done before then, and thinking about how this next week is going to be the last week of just Joel and I...too many emotions, man! Many people ask if I am "done" with being pregnant..and I say "No" because I'm really not. lol I am anxious and excited to meet him, but also so nervous of this life changing event! I'm told this feeling is normal (atleast, I hope its normal!)

I can't wait to see what he looks like!! I'm hoping he is a cutie like his daddy :)

On another note, my computer crashed on Tuesday.

Major fail. :(

I took it Wed. morning to the computer guy and he said it had something to do with Vista (My operating system) and would get back to me on Monday (of course they were closed for the holiday weekend ahh!) Not gonna lie, I am pretty much DYING without interent. Yes, I can go to my mom's house and use hers..but its NOT the same. I am so behind on celeb gossip and facebook status'! I am @ work right now and am trying to cram in all the sites I need to see before 12!

I just pray that my music and pictures are all still there when I get it back.

Anyway, back to baby. :D

How far along? 37w5d

Total weight gain/loss:
Ok I’m biting the bullet…I’m up 31lbs!! I don’t think the gain is TOO horrible…but will I think that after Jake gets here when I need to lose it all? Blah! I've got the jogging stroller out and ready for action!!!

How big is baby? We have a ultrasound to determine his size on Wed….but the books say: Size: 19 inches Weight: 6.5lbs!

Maternity clothes? L.o.v.e them!!!!

Sleep: Sleep what?? Ohh that thing you do at night. Yeah. Not happening. I’ve been waking up every 2 hours or so. Sucks. They say it’s the body preparing you for what’s to come….I just want to sleeeeep!!


Best moment this week:
Thanksgiving!! I have so much to be thankful for.
J

Movement: All the time!!! Love it and am gonna miss it!

Food cravings:
I wanted Choco milk the other day and I gave in and drank it down. It was delicious. I've gotta get in these last food binges, because I won't have an excuse for very much longer!

Gender: Boy boy boy!


Labor Signs:
I’ve been feeling those darn Braxton hicks for the past week!!!


Belly Button in or out?
Innie!

Stretchmarks?
Yep..I’ve still got em.

How are you feeling? Besides sleep, I’m feeling great!
J Had a few shooting pains every now and again..but nothing too unmananageable...yet.



What I am looking forward to:
Seeing little Jake via Ultrasound on Wed & decorating my house for Christmas today after work!!!

What I miss:
Margaritas. I don’t REALLY miss, miss them..but one (or two, ha) sounds soo good.

Weekly Wisdom:
"Sometimes you have to give up the life you planned for the life that is waiting for you."


Milestones: 9 or 10 days to go. Holy cow!!!
