Almost on my 38th week and I'm sitting in Panera Bread using the internet because we just moved and do not have Internet set up in our house yet. The move went really well. Makes me so thankful for having such good friends. Special thanks to Chris, Jessi, Stacy, Tyson, Rob, Corn, Seki, and Kate. We really couldn't have done it without you! Not only did our friends help us move but they also tried to make my birthday special by making cupcakes and singing "Happy Birthday". It was so sweet! Also thanks to the girls for calming me down. I had a few panic attacks while moving. LOL! Silly hormones can make you feel crazy.
So we are finally moved in. I'm trying my best to get things unpacked and put in their place without hurting myself. It is SO hard not to over do it. My brain says YES but my body says NO! I'm so ready for this baby to come but on the other hand this house NEEDS to be done first and we still got a lot of other things to do like get the car seat installed, buy a couple more items, paint Zeina's room, go grocery shopping... the list never ends . Ugh! I hope I can get it all done.
I am also so swollen! After the move I noticed my hands hurt so bad if I've been laying down too long. Usually after a nap or in the morning when I wake up I feel like I've been holding a rope for hours. My feet are also a little swollen but it's mostly in my hands which enables me to wear my wedding ring. This gets pretty interesting when I go out by myself. I already look pretty young for my age and then I have this HUGE belly I can't hide if my life depended on it and no wedding ring. I get some interesting looks from people. LOL! From older women I get the "disgusted" look, from younger women I get the "poor thing" look and from men I get the "ALRIGHT!" look. LOL! All are equally uncomfortable. But when I'm with Nick it's a whole different story. haha. Oh well. I haven't gotten any strangers touching my belly or making any inappropriate comments yet. I don't know why but I'm glad. The other day Nick and I were in Home Depot checking out when the cashier ask how far along I was. I answered "I have about 2 weeks to go" the lady responded "I thought so," (I was think oh here we go my first you look like you're gonna pop comment) she continued "cause it looks like you've dropped a little" FFFFFFFEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!! I think that is the nicest way to say you are having the baby soon. It actually kinda made me feel good, like I accomplished something. LOL. I don't know I guess I'm weird. haha.
I have another one of my weekly appointment today. Just a routine checkup so I'm sure everything is okay. Just waiting. ANY DAY NOW! until next time.
PS- Oh ya belly belly has finally hit 40". Geez it took about 2 months to grow an inch
