I had my weekly dr. appointment today. Zero cm. dilated. nothin'...nilch.
Good thing b/c Jerome won't be home until later this week. We had a talk with Sophia last night..."stay in, baby. Wait for Daddy to come home."
Think "stay in" thoughts until Friday!!
My mommy is coming in on Wednesday!!!!!!!!! :)

38 weeks pregnant and it's finally happened...
So....it's happened. I got the dreaded stretchmarks on my tummy. :( It's so ugly! I can't even see them because they're between my belly button and pelvic bone, so I can only see them in the mirror. BLAH. I've been so good with the belly butter, vitamin e....oh, well.
We're 2 weeks away from my EDD. (expected due date) I still feel pretty good--well, as good as I can be at 38 weeks of pregnancy. Sitting on the floor is no longer an option, my feet are no longer normal size, (thank goodness for Hawaii and being able to wear my slippahs to work everyday!) I get winded just getting into bed, and my back is achey, but manageable. But other than all that, I'm still walking around nicely, able to cook dinner (by choice!), and get things done at work and at home. Christmas shopping is finished and gifts are wrapped and are being sent out tomorrow! I feel good...
Last week we got another ultrasound because my doc thought I was measuring too small. It kinda freaked me out a bit, but it all turned out well. Our baby is small--she's in the 35th percentile, but not small enough to be of concern. The doc predicts she'll be about 6.5 - 7 lbs if she goes all the way. We got more pictures and this time Jerome was able to be there! We also got reconfirmation that it's a girl! :) She was moving so much that it was difficult for the technician to get pictures of he needed.
We're just about ready for her. We're stil getting furniture moved around, but it should all be finished by tomorrow. I just need to wash her clothes, get some diapers, and pack my hospital bag. Our generous friends and family have sent us everything that we need. My mom is coming in next week!! It's all coming together so quickly...I just want my baby already!
My birthday has come and gone. It was very quiet this year--I actually got really sick on my birthday and slept for most of the day. We eventually went to get a Christmas tree in the evening, but that was all I was up for that night. The next day, however, I felt great and we were able to celebrate then. The house is now all decorated for the holidays...inside and out. :) That's how I celebrated my birthday...my phone and email was bombarded and that's all I could have asked for. I didn't mention it at work at all because I didn't want anyone to make a big deal (my kids made enough of a deal!) and also because my work gave me a baby shower, so I didn't want even more attention. :) I had a great day, even though I was sick--it was just as it should have been.
Here's my belly at 38 weeks. Apparently, it looks like I've dropped today, so picture my belly a bit lower....

And here is Bella in front of our tree. :) Why, oh why, do I love to torture my dog...??
