Almost to 39...

I'm now one day away from 39 weeks. I am HUGE. I just want my body back. My face is all puffy, I dont recognize myself sometimes. And I cant even use my hands in the morning b/c the joints are so sore from retaining water. And these are just the NEW complaints!! I keep having more and more real contractions, I think. But they stop when I lay down, which means it isnt real labor. BUT I'm hoping it's getting me closer to labor. I'm drinking a ton of Red Rasberry tea and taking primrose oil to get my uterus working. And I'm gonna look into accupuncture once my midwife okays it. I just dont want it to come down to having to be induced. They already told me they would induce on January 30th if he isnt here by then. I think they might suggest "stripping my membranes" which sounds so incredibly painful. OUCH
Its ok though b/c I have so much fun playing with him. If I sit anything on my belly he immediately starts pushing back. Like he's telling me to get outta his space. It's hilarious. I seriously do it on purpose and sit there cracking up!!! Well, I"ll update again after my appointment Tuesday!!


Here are some pics of the boys today. Brody got this
Cowboys get up from Santa while he was in Omaha

  1. He will come soon, in his own perfect time. But hopefully not before we get to go to Johnny Carino's for lunch this week. HAHA just kidding, I would much rather meet little Braden than eat tiramisu any day!!!
