36+ weeks and counting.....

She had better come out before June. I had a doctor's appointment today, and other than her being nice and low, nothing has changed. I was hoping for something, anything, like a "wow, you're going to have this baby in a week," or "not long now..." but no. Now that it's gotten to go-time, she's going to stay put. All I ask is that she's born before Mother's Day, so I can be not huge and pregnant. Again, I think it's wishful thinking. I measured small again, and I asked if she was big enough for the zillionth time. In response, the doctor scheduled an ultrasound for Thursday, just to check things out. I'm hoping it's just so that I quit asking, not because he thinks that she's actually too small. I am torn between freaked out and excited, because I'm worried that she's too small (although judging by my weight gain/size/uncomfortable-ness, she's not, just low), but it means we get to see her again!

Otherwise, nothing new. Still contracting at random, which is really fun. No, really. It's great. Non-productive contractions are my new favorite thing. Ahem. Still working, although that's a sore spot lately--I can't just sit around here for the next however long and wait, and I love working, so I'm going to keep going until I can't anymore. Or until I decide I've had enough. I've been writing mini-sub plans daily, just in case, and I have all of my long-term stuff ready, so if I have to go, it's not a big deal. I have kids that are almost in tears at the idea of me leaving them before the end of the year, and a kid that was actually in tears last week when I left to go to the hospital. It's hard for me to leave. And yes, that does make me a workaholic. I like to say dedicated. It's more the fact that I'm a control freak, because I can't stand the idea of someone else in my room touching my stuff.



Against my better judgement, I'm going to post the picture Al took of my belly at 36 weeks. It's gross and huge, but I guess I'm supossed to be at this point. I can't beleive my belly can stretch this far.

Also, because we all know it's true.....
