39 week update
Not much new going on in the world of waiting for Baby. Last night Mike and I both dreamed that I went into labor, but sadly Baby did not also share in that dream. I've reached a new record in two areas in the last couple weeks: first, I've gone the last two days without crying, which is some sort of crazy landmark that I'm sure Mike is very happy to observe! Second, I've now been getting up at least 3 times each night (up from an average of once or twice only a few weeks ago) which makes for some miserable fatigue. It wouldn't be so bad if I was able to nap during the day, but I'm still trucking away at work. Finally, I've apparently stopped glowing. Rather than tell me how great I look, people now just tell me how tired and uncomfortable I appear. Awesome. Sorry to be a pile of grumpiness this morning, but I slept terribly and I'm winded from walking up the stairs to my office. Sigh. I keep trying to reassure myself that Baby will be here soon. Statistically, 25% of babies were born by this time, and an additional ~25% are born in the equivalent of this coming week. This makes it about 50/50 that she will be here by April 25th. Come on, Baby!
That baby says; "I'm comfortable in here - I got everything I need - and there's no way I'm leaving."
