So here we are at 35 weeks of pregnancy. Can I just say that this, now, is officially the most uncomfortable I've ever been in my life?!...and it's going to get worse?!...are you effing kidding me?!!! I think I might pass out, y'all. I'm pretty sure the extreme degree of my awkwardness even has Adam freaked the hell out. Sometimes he just stares with his mouth agape as he watches me struggling to get off the couch or out of the bed before remembering to ask me if I need a hand. Hahahaha! Poor guy, he has been so helpful and considerate for the duration, but sometimes I think he's still caught off guard by the whole thing. We get a lot of laughs out of it though! It's an absolute riot to try to explain to him how I feel, or why I get into bed the way I do (not pretty, folks, I assure you that!).
Anyway, regardless of all that, little Stormy and I are doing just fine. We were at the doctors' office yesterday for a check-up, and aside from the massiveness of my feet and ankles due to swelling over the last couple of weeks, everything is still right on track as far as baby's and my growth. Little dude has a strong steady heartbeat at 132 bpm this week, and is kicking around as much as ever, just itching to get out and see the world!
In other news, I have decided that this week is my last week of work. I have felt very fortunate that I have been able to run around and work on my feet all night as long as I have, but it's become really difficult to move around now, so I'm going to call it quits. It's only a week earlier than I had originally planned, so no biggie. But when my co-worker, Yuen, and I can't physically fit past each other behind the bar? Yeah, I think that's a definite sign to get the hell outta there and start my leave, LOL!! Also, now that the swelling has begun (thinking Stay-Puff marshmellows, anyone?), it's a pain in the butt...and thighs...and knees... to get a lot done. My work shoes don't even fit my ginormous ankles, people! So I'll be concentrating on keeping those puppies up as much as I can now while I finish up the last of things around the house in prep for Stormy's arrival, which will be very soon!
We start weekly check-ups with the doctor now that we are so close; and they say after 36 weeks, anything can happen...that's NEXT WEEK! Ahhhhhh!!! The final countdown begins! Keeping in mind the due date is May 27, anyone want to guess what his actual birthday will be?

My guess is May 10, which is Mothers Day. How appropriate would that be? Kim, I am very proud of you. You and Adam (almost forgot Adam...he did have a little to do with these shenanigans going on over the past 9 months) will be great parents.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I am very proud of you, Momma.
