Only 1 month to go and oh how I am feeling it! I'm convinced that the last month of pregnancy has to be miserable; otherwise, no woman in her right mind would ever put her body through the riggers of labor and delivery. But seriously, at this point, I'm thinking, "Bring on the labor!" I'll gladly suffer through 6-8 hours of excruciating, forehead-splitting pain and 7 days of slow recovery just so that I don't have to be pregnant any more.

Two days ago, I was slightly uncomfortable and found breathing with a baby in my ribs to be somewhat tricky. But I was managing. Then my baby dropped. Now my body hurts in every place possible. My bladder has become a punching bag. And my waddle has increased 10 fold. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do when Kasey goes back to work tomorrow and I have no one to put my socks on for me. I've given up all hope of reaching my feet, which have swelled almost beyond recognition, until after the baby arrives.
On a positive note, I can almost breathe again, and I no longer have a baby sticking her foot in my rib 50 times a day. Plus, Makayla doesn't go back to school until January 5. So I don't even have to leave my house for the next 15 days. (Which is a good thing since my car broke down and I couldn't leave even if I wanted to.)
I guess things aren't all bad.

Oh that sounds miserable I wish I lived closer so I could help. How early will your doctor let you go? Call your visiting teachers if you need help with socks that is their job and I am sure they would be more than happy to know something they could do to help, at least that is how I am!
Induction time soon?! When did your car break?? You would not believe how much snow we have in L-town! It will be a white Christmas.
I hope you feel good enough to have a Merry Christmas!
the girls would love to put your socks on... HEHE they may not be on the right way but they would be on! lay back and let things go! no harm in that! right?
At my last appt, the doc told me that he was pleased that I'd made it to 35 weeks. If I went into labor, I don't think he would stop it. But I also don't think he will induce me before 39 weeks.
Our Saturn broke down on Wednesday. We tried for 4 days to get it running--I don't think it's going to happen unless we throw a lot of money into it. And I'd rather burn a $100 bill than put any more money into fixing that car. But I guess it's essentially the same thing.
Maybe its a sign :) isn't one of your fears of your water breaking in public? See you just need to stay home! We are snowed in anyway so I'm stuck at home too with cabin fever all around!
I'm thinking of you Laura!! :)
I hope all goes well!
I am so sorry for you pain, but she's almost here, just take it an hour at a time.....says the girl who's never had a kid. :) Anyways I hope you get to go early. I'll pray that the girls are good for you, atleast that would help a little.
Oh, sad. I hope that your little girl decides to come out early and even if she doesn't, I hope your able to enjoy Christmas!
