36 weeks!

Well I am officially more pregnant than I've ever been. Not only is Henry significantly bigger than Blakely was when she was born, but I didn't make it this far in pregnancy with her.

I found out last week that Henry is oblique- which means his head is in my hip socket instead of down in my pelvis where it needs to be. The doc said if he doesn't scoot over then he'll attempt to move him while I'm in labor and if that doesn't work then I'll have to have a c-section. Huge bummer- I do NOT want that. So I have been doing some goofy exercises that I read about online that supposedly encourage him to move over. Its probably just a trick to get you to di silly and uncomfortable things. I should video it because some are pretty ridiculous.

Stephen has been at staff training all weekend and gets home today. His mom and dad came to babysit me and B, and his mom is staying a few extra days to be here while Stephen goes to a wedding this weekend. We are having fun with BB, but We are SICK of dada being gone! Blakely definitely turned into a maniac the last couple days and I'm convinced it's cause she's done with me and ready for dad. She might not be too happy when he leaves again in a couple days. But it's his last trip for a LONG time.

Back to Henry. I'm definitely growing to new levels. No matter how good the cause, it never is pleasant to see the number on the scale climb. Especially since that number is bigger than last time and I can't help but think of how hard its going to be to get it back down. My physical abilities are also rapidly declining. I decided to walk the other day, and I felt ok during, but by the end of the day I was HURTING. I'm pretty sure I pulled something in my groin. As if it's not hard enough moving around with my 25lb belly... So I have been hobbling around grunting and groaning every time I move, and trying to explain to Blakely why I can't carry her.

I go back and forth on whether I'm ready to have him or not. Part of me would be happy not to be pregnant anymore, but I also know I'll be getting even less sleep than I am now when he gets here- so I can wait a little... I am by no means miserable like I know some people can get, but it seems that a new unpleasant pregnancy symptom pops up daily! But I won't complain :) Here's a few pics of me and Henry!
