In my last post I mentioned the weird dreams I have been having. They don't stop. I am having my doctor's appointments every week now as we get closer to the end of this baby growing season for me. At the last appointment, I was measuring right on if not just barely bigger than "normal" I guess you could say (I am only talking about my belly. . . hips, legs, arms, and extra chins are not measured at these appointments, and they haven't been out of control, but in case you were wondering :) So this was two weeks ago. Measuring normal. At my appointment this week, I measured above and beyond! And he even measured twice just to make sure, in which he reassured me that I was almost to the next mark. EEK! So if this belly was on target, it would have measured 34. . . maybe 35 as it usually coordinates with how far along I am. I measured 37, almost 38! First thing I thought was. . . Is this baby coming early?! If he says we are having this baby tomorrow, am I ready? I got really excited and nervous at the same time. . . you know that nervous giddy smile. Then I started thinking about how big all of my siblings and I were and I think that smile turned more nervous than anything. I only gained a couple pounds from last time, so the baby is just growing huge! Oh boy! I told my doctor about how I come from a family of big babies. . . chunky, not wimpy. . . and how I was 9 pounds and that I had a brother that was over 11. He asked, "c-section on any of them?" Nope. Then he just looked at me with a smile that kind of said "your mom is tough and you could be in for a ride." That's when he said that he definitely wanted to see me next week. I don't know if I was going to originally going to come back in 2 weeks, but that smile was still there so I think maybe not. He is going to look at some of my "personal samples" to check for anything that could be an issue. . . lucky him!
So as for these dreams, I think I have had this baby at least 20 times now, and each time has a different story to it. They are getting more and more real though. . . as in I am not having her in a tree, in the ocean while scuba diving, or sliding down Mt. Adams. As pathetic as it sounds, the most strenuous activity I have done lately is probably rolling over in bed. I have gone on walks, but I think momentum makes that easier than rolling over! I think my dreams are more real now since the doctor's appointment, and we also toured the hospital where we are going to deliver so there isn't a need for exotic dream locations anymore. David would be bored with our morning chats as the dreams are just at the hospital now. I don't know, but they keep coming.
With these great dreams, I decided it was time we packed our hospital bag, with only a few things on a list that we will grab when the special time comes. I have also had dreams where I was oblivious that I was in labor, so I hope that that doesn't entirely happen. I am ok with no labor pains, if that is the case, but I am positive that David doesn't want to deliver the baby. . . 100%. So I just hope that I get some definite signal so that we can calmly make our way to the hospital a couple blocks away and then none of my dreams come true.
p.s. We are getting closer to my belly button popping out. . . it is so close! And I am proud to say I haven't found any stretch marks. . so far just tan lines and those are part of pregnancy right :)
