So I had another doctor appointment today and have grown another 2 cm!!! What the hell?!! So now, at 36 weeks 4 days I am measuring 39 weeks!!! Seriously, WHAT THE HELL?! I haven't gained any weight in the last week so that's all baby.
Of course now I'm terrified that I'm carrying a baby whale in my uterus. I have serious concerns that my sweet baby boy is going to be a ten pound behemoth and will kill me when I try to push him out. OR I won't be able to push him out and they'll have to cut me open like a suspected human-eating shark and rip him out.
I think what worries me most isn't the fact that I'm measuring two and a half weeks ahead but that when I asked the doctor what that meant she didn't give me the standard, "it's fine". Instead she said she wanted to wait until I had my growth ultrasound on Monday so she could see what was going on with the baby. Um, huh? What do you mean, "what's going on with the baby"? Do you mean you want to see if I'm already carrying a toddler in there? And if I am carrying an exceptionally large fetus, does that mean that you're going to try to induce me early? When she saw what could only have been a look of pure horror on my face she did try to reassure me by saying that the baby could be in a position that is causing me to measure large.
So I guess you could say my appointment didn't quite go as planned. I honestly expected her to measure me and have stayed the same from last week. But, everything else about the appointment actually went pretty well. My blood pressure is still great and the baby's heartbeat is still great. I'm not really having any issues other than being uncomfortable. I'm not sleeping well and my back is killing me it's hard to get comfortable and I spend the majority of my days in the bathroom. But I know all that stuff is pretty much par for the course at this point. I start internal exams next Wednesday. I'm not looking forward to the exams but I am looking forward to seeing if I'm making any progress down there. I'm pretty sure nothing is happening but I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.
Anyway, breast feeding class tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

LOL! You are too funny! I measured 2 weeks ahead with BOTH babies and they were both in the 7lb range. My Dr told me that Nate was going to be over 8lbs but he wasn't. I think you will be fine! I wish you would just pop him out already so we can snuggle him!
I worried a lot too the last few weeks of my pregnancy. The one thing I wanted more than anything was to not have to have a c-section, and sure enough. It ended up being extremely easy. I'm sure you won't have to have one, but my point is that I spent all those weeks worrying about something that turned out to be not so bad. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry. Everything will be fine. No matter what happens, it will be the best day of your life. I wish I could go back and live that day over and over again. This time I wouldn't worry at all and enjoy every minute.
Love you,

I seriously choked on my water when I read the title....baby beluga!!!
I agree with Stacy, enjoy it. I was totally robbed of all labor experiences, including first moments with Pierce. It's getting SO close. WHOO HOO!!
Hysterical!! It will blow your mind what your body is going to do in the next couple of weeks! Just when you think you can't get any bigger...
Enjoy the last few moments when it is just you and your litle man. After he is out, it's who's got him, where is he, is he safe? Now is the time when you know he is safe, where he is, isn't going without. I missed that after my babies were here, but there are many other precious moments to be had.
Wait for the water weight in the last few weeks as well. Then breast feeding sucks it all away, just amazing! Enjoy, this is it!
Love,
Kristen
