Time Stands Still

Hi All- As of tomorrow I'll be full term! I'd like to say that this baby could come anytime... but I know that realistically it could be another 2-5 weeks before Baby P emerges! I went to the doctor today, and since they're a little concerned that the baby's size (and my rapidly growing physique), they are planning on doing an ultrasound next week to gage the baby's size and to see if there is any concern for shoulder dystocia ... so good news is we'll get to see Baby P (we haven't seen him/her since week 18) so that will be cool! Bad news... is I'm officially fat.

Time has literally stood still since my co-worker had her baby on Sunday... I'm so happy for her (he's adorable!!), but now I feel all alone, and I feel like I have months to go... We were pretty much on the same track throughout our pregnancies (her being 3.5 weeks ahead) but now she's crossed the finish line, and I'm still at the starting line (or so it feels). I think I've just hit that mark where I'm so uncomfortable... that I'm miserable! I do know its right around the corner though... but this has been the LONGEST week ever!! (Yes, I know that last week I said was the longest week ever... but this seems just as long and drawn out as last....I see a pattern forming here!)

Oh, and to add to my gloom... last night my husband couldn't even fake it when I jokingly asked him what he was going to get me for my birthday (again... baby P's due date as well) and he said "Oh GEEZ... I have been so completely focused on the baby!!!"

It starts. He of all people has forgotten that my birthday is coming up!! It's all about Baby P! (I guess that's not so bad!)
