It has just started to hit me how soon Drayton could be here. Tomorrow I will be 36 weeks which means about 4 more left! I'm having weekly check-ups now. At my last appointment, everything still looked good. I asked Dr. Doerrfeld to guess when he thought I would go into labor and how big he thought Drayton would be. Of course he prefaced it with the fact that you never know, but guessed I would deliver around week 38 or 39 and he would be 6 lbs., 10 oz. I will be pretty impressed if he's right.
I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions like crazy throughout the day and night which Dr. D said could either mean that my body is getting geared up for labor or they could go away and I could go past my due date. So basically, you never know. So I am getting prepared to go any day and also prepared to go past my due date. So basically, I've just told you a lot of nothing.
I am feeling relatively OK. I know a lot of women just feel awful throughout their pregnancies. I've been pretty lucky, but lately, I am definitely uncomfortable. He still likes to hang out under my ribs which hurts enough, but when I have a BH contraction on top of that, it traps him under it and hurts really bad until the contraction lets up. This makes sleeping very difficult.
So anyways, here I am at 36 weeks. The maternity shirts are no longer long enough. I wonder what in the world tall or even average height people do! The bellybutton is definitely super poked out and weird looking. That's all for now. Sorry it is a bit more wordy than usual!
