Seriously? Seriously.

I thought sure by now I would be posting pictures of sweet baby Seth. Instead, I'm bitter. And, tired, and fatter and my belly is beginning to morph! This pregnancy has been SOOO different in so many ways that it's strange. Literally, over the past few days, my stomach has changed shape. No, I don't mean it's DROPPED, or gotten bigger. It's like a shelf on the bottom ...my stomach goes in for what seems like a foot above my pubic bone. It's so strange. No longer round. I would post a picture but...we're talking world wide web here people!! Just take my word for it! Okay, here are the things that have not worked for me...sex, nipple stimulation, castor oil, lunges, nesting...and anything else I could find. Maybe they worked for you.Great. Hope you had a 6 pounder. Because I have a feeling this sweet baby Seth is going to tear my taint wide open. We go to the doctor on Monday (my official due date) and I plan on asking WHEN the induction will be instead of IF there will be one.
At work tonight, we had a patient come in 38 weeks pregnant (term) with no heart tones. She had to deliver the baby and it wasn't alive. Now, this is just hitting too close to home. I'm term. And, I have to wonder for her sake, if this baby would have delivered last week...if it would be alive today. SO sad. I immediately went and checked Seth's heartbeat after the patient arrived to the floor and it was in the 130s.
So, I just wanted to update everyone and let you know...you can stop holding your breath..you may turn blue if you're waiting like I am for this chicken to hatch.
God, I just can't wait to see his face and touch his wrinkly little hands.
Sweet Seth, COME ON!

Love and baby hugs,
Kimmie

About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
