43 weeks... and counting

Last week recap I was 35 weeks and 3 days and measuring at 40 weeks...

So today I'm 36 weeks and 4 days... and I'm measuring 43 weeks. WHAT?! ... geeeez, How can I possibly get any further out there in the front? In other measuring news, I actually LOST a pound this week, so explain that. HAHA!

We scheduled an u/s for next week on Wed. We'll investigate at that point if it's still fluid levels that are high and taking up so much room or if we're looking at a big baby in there. We'll also decide what steps to take from that point forward as my belly continues to expand and the due date draws nearer.

I feel like crud today, but I will have Jamie take an update picture tomorrow so you can see what the measuring 43 weeks out belly looks like (someone hold me). I can't even roll over in bed anymore. Jamie has to help push or pull me from one side to the other. It's awful. I can't seem to get the leverage to hoist the belly from side to side.

In hand news-- I'm back to wearing my right brace now. I dropped my pen trying to write my Christmas cards last night, dropped my spoon at breakfast this morning so it's back to the braces we go. : ( I made it so far, I can't really complain. At least this time it will be for 3 weeks or so, not 3 months!

We'll see what next week holds...

You know, many women lose a little right before going into labor. And I know I felt like crud 2 days before Nora was born. Maybe baby Hobbs will make a bit of an earlier entrance!

Hang in there!
