Is it time yet?

No. No, it is not. I’m 38 weeks today and I’m definitely starting to complain. A lot. I know that Chase will come when he’s good and ready, but geez! Mama is ready! Steve yells at me when I talk about him coming out to play and says, “Do you not listen to yourself when you talk to me?!” I’m always telling him that Chase will come out when he’s good and ready and let’s not rush him. My story is changing a bit now. LOL!
We have Suzy’s bag of tricks here already so that she can just rush over here when it’s time. In said bag, is pitocin (a labor inducer). I was joking with Steve that he was going to come home one day and I would be trying to administer it to myself. Calm down, people, it’s a joke. I am pretty opposed to non-medical necessitated induction, this little guy can hang out and take all the time he needs. I’ll just complain until then. I’ve been reading a lot about women who get induced at 37/38 weeks just because of schedule, convenience, or simply being uncomfortable. That’s absurd. And that’s my spill for the day about that.

I’ve been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions and lots of pressure in what I call my under-belly. I’ve also been having sharp pains in my who-ha, which are awful! My sciatica has moved from the left side to the right and it hurts worse on this side. I’ve resorted to sitting on the toilet backwards, because it hurts less. Yes, I South Park it in the bathroom - I hope you’ve seen that episode. I have an appointment on Wednesday with the chiropractor and I’m looking forward to that like no other.

Annnnnnd, it took me about nine hours to type this out and I’ve actually started feeling a lot better. I’m guessing that yesterday really took a toll on me - I did A LOT yesterday. I think nesting has kicked in or something. I just couldn’t sit down and last night I felt like total crap. I guess I just needed a little rest. :-) I took a walk earlier and I’ve been drinking tons of water and sitting on my ball. Feeling much better now! Yah!

38 week picture. I love how I look like humpty dumpty now - tiny legs, huge stomach. :-)
