Pregnancy update

First of all, I'm taking the lack of comments on that last post as an indication that I do indeed look that big in real life but no one wants to say so. I'm not really worried about it, Brian tells me I definitely look that big. It's just strange because I don't feel like I'm that big-- don't get me wrong, I feel big, just not THAT big. It doesn't really matter, I still feel fine and I'd rather look huge and feel fine than look great and feel terrible.

My doctors appointment yesterday indicated that I'm dilated to 2.5 cm and 85% effaced. The appointment also led to sporadic contractions all day long, but nothing serious. I have a tentative appointment scheduled for next Tuesday, but I'm hoping I won't need it. We'll see soon enough.

  1. Yeah! The baby is coming. I am excited. This family reunion is going to be baby mania.:) I would tell you the honest truth about how you looked if I saw you in real life... Just FYI.

  2. Well, you're probably right. I think people are worried about how a preggie lady is going to take any comments, whether good or bad. It totally depended on the day for me.(Ok, so when Chris saw your pictures he said, "Wow - she's huge!") I totally agree with you about feeling big but not THAT big. I look back on pictures and it doesn't even look real. Isn't it unbelievable how we can just stretch like that? And you look great! Enjoy the last few days.

  3. You are not too big! You are such a cute pregnant person! Don't ever let Brian call you big, or I might have to slap him :) Good luck with all the fun labor stuff that is coming up for you!

  4. I was just thinking before I clicked on your blog...I hope Elsha hasn't had that baby yet. I want to come see the house. I think you look great and not nearly as big as the pictures. Profiles are awfully deceptive!

  5. Perhaps Chris is too honest sometimes, but hey - we're all supposed to big at 39.9 weeks pregnant! There's a baby in there! :)
