hot hot hot!!

37 weeks 5 days!

I cant imagine carrying a baby through the summer. It has been 80 here and it is killing me. I am swollen and sweaty and just want Jax to come. Jamie has been debating if he wants his full name to be Jax or Jaxon. I told him it was his decision and he was so excited about that.

We have packed up all our winter stuff which is a nice feeling. I just find it so hard not to take everything home with me. There is no point in having 15 pairs of jeans at home for the summer if i hardly ever wear them. Jamie says the kindling for his first fire at the cottage will be my old jean shorts. He hates them!

Marc and Patti were on there way here but lovely air canada went on strike this morning when they got there! Hopefully they can get a flight out but it wont be direct. I don't understand how they are allowed to go on strike like that people pay good money for flights!!! I told Patti to cry and tell them I was in labour, but then I thought that may jinx me and I will go overdue.

My mom is coming next weekend so I am not alone. I didn't realize Jamie is on a mini road trip. It is kinda weird because none of the games are to far away. Better safe than sorry though, I don't want to be by myself if I go into labour.

I told Jamie that there is an episode of Sex and the City where Miranda gives birth. I am going to make him watch it because thats how I want to be treated! I have set some rules for the delivery:

1) If you are not a medical professional stay above my waist.

2) No speaking to me unless you are a nurse telling me when to push and breath.

3) Don't touch me unless I ask.

4) No eating or drinking in front of me unless I am allowed to also.

5) No pictures of me until I have cleaned myself up.

6) I would prefer the nurse cleans the baby off all that before handing him to us. (I saw on a baby story they just put the newborn on a ladies chest and it was all bloody I don't want that)

I dont think I am asking for to much, Jamie just better not annoy me!

Yes my ankles are that fat!

Thank god for maxi dresses!

37 weeks FULL TERM

Today was double whammy Drs appointment. I had my hernia appointment first and the out come of that was I have a hernia but do not need a c section! Its just a little one that is of no concern. Then we had our OBGYN appointment. I am 1cm dilated but apparently that means nothingand it still could be weeks. I am full term now so any time now Jax can GET OUT OF MY BODY!!!!

Of all the days to have off Jamie somehow had no game on St.paddys day. He behaved himself!

I am running out of ideas of meals to make for dinner. I have gotten lazy when it comes to cooking. I hate having to go and buy a boat load of ingredients! A lot of baby books recommend making meals ahead and freezing them so that you don't have to cook for a couple days once the baby is born. One of the girls on the team told me there is a place that sells homemade meals that are frozen so I am leaning more towards that than making some myself!

36 weeks!

So we had a nice trip to the outlets yesterday. There happens to be an UGG outlet, how could I resist the baby UGGS on sale. I got a pair of slippers in black and a brown pair for the winter! I can't get enough of the baby shoes. I didn't get anything for myself I think Jamie almost died of shock.

I have been feeling good but man my feet are swollen I have to sit for most of the day with them up. I have been sleeping with them up also. Less than 4 weeks until we meet this little guy. The weather has really warmed up and we cant wait to get to the cottage!

Got these in black!

Just a little midweek update

Its official I am retaining water! My lips have ballooned. I am hoping it is just a case of mild dehydration so I started my morning off with tons of fluids. Seriously though it is pretty funny looking. I a also retaining water in my thighs! It makes me feel a bit better that it is not fat and hopefully that means after birth I go back to normal faster!

Weather was almost 70 here yesterday. It isn't as warm today but it will be nicer agin later in the week.

Jamie will be so embarrassed to go shopping with me on Monday. I just printed out like 4 coupons. They are all for the stores he likes. Him and his stupid weight loss he needs all new jeans.

Poor little guy is running out of room in my belly! I feel him move but I can tell he is crammed in there with not much room for exercise. It does hurt more when he presses on my ribs and sides. He seems to be in the same position for a while now. Fingers crossed head down!

35 Weeks

So I am officially 35 weeks! The dr is on vacation next week so we will not see him until week 37. I am not dilated at all and he thinks it will be another month for Jax to make his debut. I was glad to fin out I gained no weight this week! Thank god I am beginning to run by the mirrors to avoid my profile! The Dr also assured me this horrible shooting searing pain in my groin it totally normal and to bare with it! I wanted to hit him. I also asked if I could be induced at 38 weeks he said no and looked at me like I was crazy. I just want to meet him already, and be able to put my shoes on with ease again!

Jax does have a cousin! My cousin gave birth to a little baby girl named Maya!! It is so exciting to have babies so close in age! They will be best buddies!!

Yummy this morning I had french toast with bananas on it. I saw a recipe that even had it topped with chocolate but I held back on the extra fat. The months have been flying by lately Jamie only has 16 games left in the regular season. I hope they make playoffs but it is not looking to promising with all the injuries here and in Boston.

Next monday since we dont have a DRs appointment we are hoping to make the trip to mass to go to the mall Jamie wants to go to lululemon (Not making that up) There is also a nordstrom rack near the mall so we would like to buy some baby stuff and since Jamie is so skinny he needs no jeans! I know right he decides to loose weight when I am packing it on nice husband.
