38 Weeks- What's new?

So tomorrow I'm officially 38 weeks-- Chet made it back from his elk hunt-- he came home on Tuesday - hooray -- and with an Elk- even better!!! -- that took alot of stress of me-- and I had a little talk with the baby -- told it - any time is fine now-- but I'll wait till whenever too!!--

I never got to the point with Porter that I was "ready"-- I would have stayed pregnant longer-- I was enjoying it- I wasn't miserable- I wasn't tired- I felt great-- looked huge and chubby - but had an excuse for that-- and really I didn't feel ready!!


This week-- I feel emotionally "ready" -- and what that means - is hard to describe--but I feel it-- physically ready - apparently not--I'll let my body and my baby decide that--

My lists are not all crossed off- so not ready there- but "most" of the important stuff is crossed off!!

My I finally finally feel "emotionally" ready to take on what might be coming my way next-- that is a big huge for me!!!


Went to the doctor today -- all morning long the baby had been rubbings its little bald head on my cervix -- which kind of hurts to be really honest with you!!! -- it would almost stop me in my tracks!!

The doc gave me a quick check- said hello to the kid- and announced-- it will be pretty quick--

Ok-- I'm at a 2-- and "paper thin"-- hooray for that- whatever it might mean-- is pretty quick 2 weeks? Maybe-- 2 days maybe?-- whatever-- its fine- whatever it is!!

No one wants to take the turkey out of the oven before its fully cooked-!!

The baby was busy and didn't want to hold still for a heart beat check- but the nurse finally got it-- strong and healthy at 155 bpm-- I'm weighing in a a whopping 176 - EEk-- (last week I had lost 2 pounds -- I apparently found it this week-- I'm sure it had something to do with finding chet's hunting candy he left behind-) Me and Porter finished off a bag of snickers for Chet!!! (You are welcome!!)

So until next week-- this is the update-- we'll see where I'm at next week-- and go from there--!!!
