My doctor said at my next appointment we are going to set an induction date...that is if she doesn't come before that. I'm already dilated almost 3 cm. Jesse's mom called the 21st or 22nd, so we will see if she is right. :) Either way, I will have a baby before my original due date of April 30th. I've started packing the overnight hospital bag, which makes it more real. I even packed some dominoes and cards, so me and Jes can try to play games to keep me distracted. haha
The closer it gets, the more and more nervous I get about the labor part. As much as I am going to try to go natural, I'm not sure if I will make it. I really like and trust my doctor; word around town is she is the best. I know I will be in good hands.
I don't know why it has taken me so long to post a bare belly pic, but here is my 37 week bare belly pic. I'm lucky to not have gotten too many stretch marks. I have one tiny one on my belly, and a couple on my sides and legs. I guess it's just inevitable no matter how much bio oil or cococut oil I use.
This is my view when I look down. I can't see my feet anymore. You can kind of see she likes to hang out on the right side. Sometimes, my belly is completely lopsided and tilted to the right.
I'm still having some trouble with feet swelling. This is what they look like on a good day. haha
The sweet cravings continue as well. In this photo, I took strawberries and a banana, melted dark chocolate and peanut butter, then drizzled it on top. I served it on the side of cookies and cream ice cream. SO GOOD. No wonder I've gained almost 40 lbs during pregnancy! Not much of that weight is the baby either. At my last appointment, she only weighed 6 lbs and 11oz.
I think Winnie can tell things are changing. She is definitely more cuddly towards Jes and me. This is her on a Sunday morning saying "Wake up, Dad!"
Indie moves around so much! I've tried to keep tabs on her movement schedule to see if it's the same when she comes out. So far, during the day she moves 7:00am, 10:30am, 2:30-3:00pm, 6:00pm, and 10:00-11:00pm. At night, I am having trouble sleeping still. Part of my sleeping trouble is due to back /hip pain, having to pee five times a night, and Indie moving every couple of hours. I hope this doesn't mean she is a night owl! But, this night light Tammy got her says she just might be a night owl. haha It's really cute! I love how it is personalized.
Indie is a bit camera shy though. She will be moving around a lot and as soon as I hit "record," she stops. lol I did manage to catch her moving in this clip...mainly in the middle of the clip.
This is her moving at around 3:00pm in the day. She is most active at this time and late night. I think I was around 37 weeks here.
One night, I was watching TV ( Futurama) and she really started moving when the music came on! When she comes out, she's probably going to recognize the theme songs from Futurama, Orange is the New Black, Walking Dead, and Cheers. Those are the shows I've watched most since being pregnant. lol
I should be getting to see mine and Jesse's pics soon too, so I'm excited about that!
Oh and Jesse's mom found a way for us to make a little money with Indie.
We are going to be millionaires! haha
