The last 2 weeks of pregnancy are going to be unpleasant. Unless sweet, baby cakes decides to come early - which I'm hoping and praying for.
I've definitely gotten to that stage to where nothing I do makes me comfortable - especially trying to sleep. I'm beyond exhausted. I'm pretty hungry but doesn't take much to fill me up. I feel like my stomach has shrunk due to the growing little girl squashing everything inside me! I was doing great until about my 37th week. Then the uncomfortableness set in. All my friends who are mothers keep telling me to get some sleep while I can. Do they not remember being 38 weeks pregnant?? I would love to sleep if I could get comfortable. But having a beach ball in your gut makes it slightly a little more difficult to do anything.
I went to the doctor this morning and Lexie is still a little gymnast. She was quite the little active one - which can be uncomfortable too. She is running out of room and when she moves or kicks - it sometimes hurts. Small price to pay, right? She is in position but hasn't dropped very much. Dave and I are starting the natural labor tricks. Eggplant parmesan (from Scalini's), taking long walks, and eating spicy foods. We'll see if those methods work in the next few weeks.
Dave and I are extremely anxious to see Lexie's precious face! Please keep us in your prayers for a safe (and easy) delivery! We'll keep you posted!
