Salt and Pickles

I’m too lazy to blog most of the time. In fact lately i’m too lazy to do much of anything except nap. I don’t even cook anymore.

I reached 37 weeks today! my belly is heavy and distended and I can’t sleep very well and there are all kinds of aches and pains, but still… since I stopped puking, pregnancy has been relatively rosy. but I’m still ready for it to come to a close! in another week, at least. I have a wedding to go to next weekend, and a few more things to do to get ready. But after October 13th, i am so ready for this little girl to make an appearance.

We had house cleaners come and do a deep clean and ooh la is it nice to have a sparkley house. it’s still cluttery as we haven’t put everything away yet or some things are ready to go out the door , but it’s clean clean clean. Also I got a massage and for at least 5 hours , my hips didn’t hurt.

today I went to a lactation consultant who is familiar with breast reduction patients and showed her my boobs and she touched them and it wasn’t sexy in the slightest! but I feel very hopeful that I’ll provide a good amount if not all of my baby’s sustenance. I’m going to do my best, that’s for sure. (so i say now, before the annoyance of multiple pumpings and mastitis and other discomforts)

I had an u/s yesterday and the baby weighs around 6 lbs. A l ittle small for 37 weeks, but totally within range.

I really do love the nap lately. I should try to time it better or I wake up at 6:30 pm and then try to go to sleep again 4 hours later and everything is skewed.

Last night our doula came for our last pre-natal appt and she had us practicing pain management techniques. Somewhere around when I was leaning over the yoga ball with Hans pressing on my lower back, i had a moment of “holy crap, this is REAL”

soon I will post a link to the baby’s blog and I probably won’t write here much .. not as though I was writing much here anymore anyway!
