For Rojerono and anyone else curious...UPDATED.

I am still pregnant. Miserably. My due date is June 8, but NO ONE thinks I'll see June pregnant.

This week I hit the magical 37th week where I'm considered full term and this baby can get out!!!!!

I took today off from work because I have about 3 hours to spend at the doctor's office. So I can be on later!!!

About a month ago, I saw the other dr. for the first time in my practice and he took one look at me and decided I was too small. He was actually stunned that I measured up properly. Well, he made me have a growth sono (to see how big the baby is) and turns out (duh) the baby IS small...by like a pound or about 2-3 weeks. Well, now I have to go get all these tests performed twice a week to be sure the baby is at least growing at the appropriate rate AND isn't stressed. You know, cause it's so hard swimming around all day kicking and elbowing the woman feeding you.

My regular doctor is not as concerned and assured me things are fine, I just have small babies. My daughter was 1 week early but under 6 pounds. TINY. They are pretty sure this baby will be around the same size.

I've become miserable in the last couple of weeks...I waddle, i can't put my legs together like a lady, I can't sleep (haven't slept through the night in months), it hurts to laugh, sneeze, move...
Luckilly, spring arrived and i can wear sandals b/c my feet do not fit into my shoes! I might look tiny, but I feel like an elephant!

I need to go now so I can get ready for my wonderful tests!!!! I'll be back!

Awwww!!!!!!!!! I feel for you!

But SOON ... VERY SOON.. there will be a little Baby Mon!

Have you guys found out the sex? What names have you picked? I hear Stephtilde is up for grabs still.

YAY BABIES! I hope your tests come out OK. We just got married and I already feel the CLICK of the clock. We have to wait at least a year for a variety of reasons but YAY BABIES!

Good luck!

it is so exciting to live vicariously through all of these pregnancies!

(yes i know, not so exciting for YOU really) but you will have a gorgeous ball of perfectness before you know it - hang in there!

37 weeks!!! I can NOT believe it!!!!!

Wow Cheryl, you're almost there!! Sorry you're so uncomfortable, hopefully the baby will be here soon!!

Good luck with everything!

Update for the nosy!

So, things look fine. I lost 2 pounds! Just a small baby! For a change, the baby was moving...usually the tech shakes my poor belly and NOTHING happens. Today the baby wouldn't sit still! Go figure.

Stephtilde...hmmm...I'll run that by DH!

The dr. said if I would just go into labor, I could stop coming in for all these tests. *sighs*

We still don't know the sex, we are waiting. She put the butt shot up and then asked if I wanted to know...for a millisecond, I almost told her to tell me...but after waiting all this time, why spoil it? DH was not with me. He tries to find out each time. I honestly couldn't tell you even though i was staring directly at all his or her goods!


I had a late lunch with DH and a former co-worker of his...the first thing our friend says is: you look tired.
If I didn't feel so tired all the dang time and know it's true, I might have been offended! It's funny though, my appt. last Friday ran late and looooong so I never made it back to work, so everyone spent the weekend thinking I had gone into labor. So on Monday I heard all about how I looked so tired, ready to go and blah, blah, blah....If only.

Thanks for the well wishes! I am honestly hoping to make it to like next week and really that's it. I am truly exhausted and ready to meet the little rascal in my belly causing all this ruckus! To be so small, s/he is sure causing a fuss!

for the small one(s).
