We made it 35 weeks!

3.11.2013

I haven't blogged much lately. It's hard to be motivated to write when all you can think about is, "Is this baby on his way?!".

I am 35 weeks pregnant today. Holy crap. How did that happen? I started this preterm labor journey in my 31st week. I never imagined being pregnant this long. Although, clearly I am most concerned about him being safe and cooking as long as necessary, the anxiety of waiting every single day not knowing if THESE are the contractions that are actually going to throw me into full labor is exhausting. The constant waiting and not knowing is not fun.

I wish I had more to write about but I don't.

Baby.... Contractions... Hospital... Bored... Bed rest ... Food... Contractions... Rocky road ice cream... Contractions... Should we circumcise him... So bored... Baby... Contractions...

That is pretty much the extent of the contents of my brain right now.

  4. You look gorgeous, girl! I know how you feel with the pre-term labor. I had the same issue with my last son. I started having pre-term labor with him around 30 weeks. In a couple hours, I had jumped from 0cm to 3cm. They kept me in the hospital overnight and had to stop my labor. They had to do that a couple more times throughout the following weeks, since I was having contractions every single day. But, he held on until 37 1/2 weeks and is as healthy as can be. He's now 3 months old and growing like a weed! :) Good luck. You look fantastic!

  15. Yay I'm glad you made it to 35 weeks! Funny random story...one of my friends thought/assumed he was circumcised his whole life until our senior year in college. For some reason he had Googled it and realized that he actually wasn't circumcised.

  31. I can't believe you've made it this far! You'd have quite the story to tell him one day. You know, as you're both eating ice cream together :)

  32. Happy 35 weeks! So happy for you guys!

  33. Yay for 35 weeks!! You are ALMOST there :) My opinion is that you should circumcise him. You will save him from a LOT of bullying (I have many Jewish un-circumcised friends), you won't have to teach him to "use it", and it's easier to keep clean. Or so I'm told by my BFF's mom who is Jewish South African. Haha

  34. You look amazing! I know you probably don't feel amazing, but wow! I wish I looked that good at 35 weeks! All I remember was an extra 50lbs, oily skin, and zits! lol.

    Can't wait to keep updated!
