Coming To A Close
In a couple days I will be down to single digits on my pregnancy count down! By Tuesday, my next appt., I'll have less than a week til the due date. Since being 36 weeks, like clock work the not so great parts of pregnancy were felt. Now, ready to go any day I am peeing more than ever! I know he's head down but maybe he's dropped too or something. He is getting bigger by the day so maybe that's why. He has not been the active Phoenix he has always been these last few weeks which is understandable, but the last few days late at night he gets to moving. I don't know where he thinks he's going with his head down. It's so powerful (he's always been that way though) and he's so strong...it's quite uncomfortable really. He'll stick what I believe is a foot or a heel out of me so far that I can literally grab it. I am having so many Braxton Hicks, it's annoying, I notice them in the middle of the night when I wake up to use the bathroom which is about 5 times a night. I always am thinking my water is going to break any minute cause I hear so many popping sounds in my belly. Feeling a little bit of pressure and inconsistant weird pains often. Last night I thought I almost felt little cramps but I can't get my hopes up. I don't think I'll be going crazy til after my next appt. when I have 5 or 6 days left and nothing in front of me til he comes. As much as I am excited to see Phoenix, I am even more excited to get rid of this dreadful body. Even a "bowl full of jell-o belly" body is better than this body. I am carrying him so low that when I sit down he is either sitting right on my lap or if my knees are spread he's nearly sitting on the same chair. He droops over my pants like an old beer gut, if I can even keep my pants up which has been a complete nightmare this pregnancy. I just feel like he's so detached because he's that low. I'm just lugging him around as if he's a big growth rather than my pregnant belly. All will be well in a matter of days I hope. We pray for a smooth labor, delivery, and recovery. We're also really hoping that Sharrid won't be at the prison when I am at the Hospital having the baby. Any other time would really be the best. Anyway, hanging in there this last stretch. I am really going to try and take another batch of pictures this weekend. I'll post them when I have them. After Phoenix is born I will do my best after I'm home to keep my blog updated with the story and the baby pictures. Everything will be on the blog. I will also send out a mass email to certain people (who don't blog, urgg) and text or call others, so you should know when things happen in one way or another.

You are funny the way you describe your belly. Heaven forbid Sharrid is at the prison when you go to the hospital, call me and I will come. I'm sure you'd rather have someone in there with you than no one. I know I am wimpy, but I will stay by your head if I need to be with you there.
yeah I would rather have someone I know instead of just a nurse or something...I mean they're nice and all but mom was a great help last time, and Kira. Shar was too tired from working all day. I can't blame him for not really being "there" til the birth because he'd been up since 4 AM or so and worked the 2 jobs that day and I labored through that night. We're kind of praying that Shar can be there without wanting to ask for too much, because I think I would cry if he weren't, not for me or Phoenix, but for him and because the actual delivery is my most favorite proudest part.I also want him to experience the labor with me since he didn't last time. So hopefully I go into labor when he's home, or at Walmart, or soon to be homw from the prison.
As miserable as you are, you make me just laugh every time you post something like this. You write like you are just talking to me, which is great. Hang in there. He will be here before you know it. AND THEN I WILL BE TOO!!!!Yoo hoo!!
