Baby & Mom Stats 10.16.07

Well, I'll be 39 weeks complete this Thursday and I had one of my last doctor's appointments today. My midwife is out of town, so I saw a different one today. She was younger, and a tad bit of a "granola" chick (you know the ones that don't tweeze their eyebrows or wear any makeup), and really energetic and funny. She said I'm exactly the same dilation and effacement as the previous week (shocking, not!). So that is a bit lame, but at least this week I didn't have my hopes up. The baby is approximately 8 lbs and 7 ounces right now. He'll be at least another half pound bigger if I make it until next Thursday. We tried to get a good picture of his face on the ultrasound, but that, as always, is a challenge! Sorry. Looks like he is making us wait until he is born to really see what he is going to look like! Stinker! The funny thing is that I actually LOST a couple pounds this week! What the?? I think it is b/c last week I had on heavier clothing...but I'm not complaining!

A good friend of mine came over tonight and took a bunch of pictures of me. She loves photography and it was so sweet of her to spend that time and take pics so that I can remember what I looked like pregnant. The only cruddy thing was that it was late in the evening, so we didn't have any daylight to work with. But she is going to work her magic and then let me see the pictures. I will have to post a couple on here when they are all done.

My sprained foot is still bothering me, but it has improved a ton since I first injured it. Thank goodness. I can walk around (with a limp), but by the end of the day my foot is nice and sore. I'm just glad it is getting better and not worse.

So I realized today about 100 more things I need to get done in this last week before the baby comes. The list is never-ending. Ugh. It really can be quite overwhelming. I also want to squeeze in a haircut b/c I know once the baby comes it will be FOREVER until that happens again. Heh heh.
