37 weeks.



I am now at the point where I am so over being pregnant. We've been to the hospital 8 times in the last 2 weeks because of my back pain and they still can't tell me for sure what it is. I've been contracting ever 1-3 minutes for the past week and a half but no progression! This same thing happened with Owen. I didn't have any progression until my water broke. Oh heaven help me! The hospital told us that they really can't do anything for me anymore and that I'll just have to wait til it breaks! Everyday is such a struggle fighting with the pain and trying to keep Owen entertained. Luckily, Tim had a 4 day weekend this week and only has 3 days left of this rotation and is off for the rest of the November AND December. Poor guy has become Mr. Mom lately. I'm still boggled at how for such small people we always manage to have such huge babies? My small frame can't handle these last few weeks!

Tim had a "vision" that she will either come right after Thanksgiving dinner or just after we finished all the Harry Potter movies. (Owen came the night we finished all the Lord of the Rings movies.) I am PRAYING that he is right.

I'm still amazed at how different these pregnancies are. I had a much easier time with nausea with Owen but the last 3 months were so hard on my hips and I gained a TON of weight. With June I had lots of nausea, gained a reasonable amount of weight but not a ton and didn't have really any problems until the last few weeks. Maybe she'll throw me a bone during labor and just slide out! :-)

just be ready to get to the hospital fast when your water does break, in case she does want to just slip right out. :) Good luck, the last of it is always the worst for me too.
