I have learned that week 36 in pregnancy is just not a
lot of fun. I’m so close, but still so far away. These past 5 days have taken
longer than the first 250 days put together and I’m feeling so impatient. The
only things getting me through this week are the fact that Colton will be
considered full-term by the end of the week and celebrating Christmas with the
Neal family this weekend!
You wouldn’t think that putting on a pair of shoes would
be such a difficult task, but these days, it’s one of the things I dread the
most. Not only do I hate putting my shoes on in the morning, I dread taking
them off my swollen feet every evening. Why can’t I just wear flip flops to
work? I’m really looking forward to pampering myself with a pedicure this week.
Oh the things I could complain about this week, but really, I’m so thankful for
our healthy baby boy that he really is worth all the pain.
Colton weighs about 6 pounds by now and, as confirmed by our
Doctor appointment yesterday, is in head down position. Now that he’s taking up so much room and has
dropped into my pelvis area, I’m visiting the bathroom a lot more often and
starting to get the oh so pregnant walk, better known as the waddle. This week has brought on more frequent Braxton
Hicks contractions
and, as of yesterday, I’m 1cm dilated and 30% effaced. The bad news is it could
still be weeks before he decides to arrive. The good news is, he will be “full-term”
by Friday and could be here any day now!
