We are now 38 weeks and....still waiting! Our little one is showing that he or she is in charge! As of 12:00 tomorrow, Phil and I will both have successfully completed workshop and met all of our kids for this upcoming school year. I am pleased to have been able to meet my students, since I think it will be easier to go back in and see them during the year if they have already had some contact with me. However, it's now time to have a baby (after 12:00 tomorrow!) and move on with life (and a nice, long weekend!).
Over the last week, I have continued to contract and at times, not feel the best. The last few days the swelling in my hands, legs, and feet has been pretty excessive, so I will be pleased when that goes down and it doesn't hurt to walk anymore. Being on my feet most of today with Meet and Greet didn't help matters either! We have another doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon and are interested in seeing if I've progressed at all with the contractions, etc this week. If not, I can't lie and say I'm not going to be somewhat discouraged! Again, I have enjoyed being pregnant, but all of these things, on top of not sleeping, are starting to really wear on me after 2 weeks. We are curious to see if our doctor comments at all about helping the process along, and if not, we will be asking for a better idea of how long she will let me go on my own, as well as a thought on how big the baby is at this point too. I think having more concrete answers in something that is so full of unknowns will help our sanity level, as well as planning at school with our subs.
We will continue to keep you updated! Say some prayers that this little one decides to enter the world sooner, rather than later!
