Pregnancy Check In (from Atlanta Mommas)

[wolffe]

How far along?: 37 weeks today
How big is baby? At last Thursday's ultrasound he was 8lb 10oz
Weight gain? Oh god let's not go there
Stretch marks? Yep. Same as last time, mostly on my ass. :lol
Maternity clothes? For everything but PJs.
Sleep?: Not really. Getting up every two hours to pee
Best moment this week: Seeing him smile and "breathe" on the US
Food cravings?: meat! Lots of meat for some reason
Gender? Boy
Movement?: Too much. Haha
Belly button? totally out. Jake likes to push it like a button. *snort*
What I miss? Being able to sleep on my belly
Labor signs? irregular, unorganized contractions for the past 3 days. Figures our Norse named child (Erik) would threaten his arrival during snowpocalypse.
What I'm looking forward to? Having him OUT. I'm uncomfortable already.

okay, this is weird. Erik was born in 2011! I'm so confused!

Hee. The forum where I originally posted that is going away, and I wanted to save that post. I did back date it, but I guess it showed up in the feed anyway. :)

whyyyy is this posting today? it's dated from Jan. 9, 2011

I was about to be very confused how this could have been kept secret ;)

Atlanta Mommas is a forum I've belonged to since Jake was born. They decided to shut down and move the whole thing to Facebook, so I went through and grabbed the one post I wanted to save. :)

I seriously just experienced such a huge rush of jealousy that I almost threw up. Then I realized you aren't pregnant. I am surprised and ashamed at myself.

*hugs* I've been there. We've decided that we are sticking with just two. Some days, I really want a third, but most days I'm happy with that decision. I got the Mirena IUD just in case we win the lottery. ;)

Being outnumbered is a scary thing. I absolutely love Henry, but I do fear some of life with 3 kids.

I have two friends who are successfully raising three kids. I think as parents you adapt. I just know that my patience is strapped with two, and I would need full time help for three. I think you'll do great!
