Just an update

Lets see , 37 weeks and I now weigh 274( started the pregnancy at 285.4 according to the midwife) , I dehydrated most of it away and lost some due to eating only soft and liquids but baby and I are both still fine. I'm having braxton hicks off and on about 10-12 a day. They are doing the measurment sono this week to see how much little miss Ali weighs , 5 more days to the baby shower and I think I am all ready for her to join us at home after that. I am gonna take a 37 week pic later and will be posting it, or at least trying too...lol It seems weird that I went from sleeping ALL the time on bed rest to now not being able to sleep...lol At least now that I am awake more, can eat and drink again and am not in so much pain I back to liking being pregnant and not dreding it. I even thought at one point about canceling my baby shower cuz if I couldn't move around home without pain how was I ever gonna make it through a 3 hour party with b4 and after time too. My Aunt called me from Fla yesterday , She is comming up , She isn't sure she will make it before or after saturday but she gave me a rundown of what she is bringing us for Ali ,She was at walmart shopping..lol She said whatever you don't need or use or get doubles of you can return and get what you need or want for her. She is bringing about 20 outfits,baby bath stuff, a crib mattress, a double stroller,diapers,wipes,bottles a few other things she won't tell me till I get them , and a toddler bed frame to put in storage. I told her she didn't have to get the WHOLE registry list..and then some ....lol She said she was just bringing me enough to get through the first month just so I wouldn't have to worry about anything till I had time to rest up from comming home with a new little life ,I guess this is what I get for making her wait 20 yrs to have a great niece to spoil huh? I said well thank you, now all I really have to get that I don't need but want is a diaper genie if I don't get one at the shower , She said well I haven't checked out yet so if I can find someone young enough that works here who knows what it is I'll pick that up too. (She called again, she got the genie...lol ) I guess all I am really gonna need by the time Ali gets here is to love her Thanx for listening while I ramble. Shel

AWWW!!! I WANNA SEE THE PIC!!!! Get it up here girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love & prayers being said for safe arrival of your precious one in up coming weeks...

Shel, What a blessing!! Imagine where we were just two short years ago and now you are about to become a Mommy! Super Super. Best wishes for a smooth next few weeks. HUGS from Germany, Jacqueline

Hi Shel, Glad you are doing well. I think of you often because my daughter is due around the same time. She also had some trouble during her pregnancy. She is on bed rest also. Had to take meds because she was having contractions and she didn't feel them ! They will be taking her off the meds next visit. She is also having trouble sleeping. I think it's your body trying to get ready for all those 2 am wake up calls...My new grand daughter's name is Cydney.... Good Luck Sandy
