Baby Hoose has always been very active...which used to be very cute. Every little flutter, kick or bump I would coo and rub my belly with a big smile on my face.
Now, not so much.
Every movement feels like an apendage is going to come bursting out of my stomach! And the hiccups...man, this baby is non-stop movement. I think we may be in for a very active newborn ;)
Last day working in the office today and then I am working from home next week...maybe. I guess it all depends on when Baby Hoose wants to join our family.
Good luck to those still in the baby pool!

Week 38: Like a Kid in a Candy Store
We had our week 38 appointment this morning with no "news" to report of, just very swollen feet and painful, numb hands. Other than that, Baby Hoose and Mom are healthy and doing well.
Ryan, however, is getting very excited. He likes to clap his hands together and with a big grin say: "Alright, let's have this baby!"
The Dr. was amused with Ryan's enthusiasm...she said he reminded her of a kid in a candy store!
"Daddy" seems to think we are having the baby this week or weekend...why, I have no idea. Guess we'll have to wait and see what his predicition brings :)

The first snowfall...and I am locked out.
When you lock yourself out of your house, you tend to feel pretty silly...stupid even.
So when you have to call your husband (who works about 20 minutes away) to ask him to come home to let you in, the last thing you want him to ask you is "How did you do that?".
Like I did it on purpose!
So, I waited in the 30 degree weather this morning trying not to freak out about the 9am Client meeting that was quickly approaching while my hubby was on his way to let me in.
Within 10 minutes my "prince charming" came around the corner to let me in: my hero! Not a big fan of the excessive speeding I am sure he had to do to get there, but really appreciated him leaving work to come and "save" me.
Moral of the story:
Husbands: Never ask your 8.5 month old pregnant wife how she locked herself out (in fact, don't question anything your 8.5 month old pregnant wife does for the next few weeks as her sanity is pretty much nonexistant at this point)
Wives: Make sure there is always a hidden spare key somewhere!

So, how are your private parts today?
You wouldn't believe how many people at work come up and ask me if I am dilated.
I mean, do they realize that they are trying to have a conversation (at work!) about my lady bits?!
(And no, it is not just the women who ask me this).
I really want to respond with: "While we are on the subject, how are your private parts doing today?"
But instead, I smile, provide them with the non-update and waddle down the hallway back to my desk.
At least I am finding some humor in all of this :)

Week 37: Nada...but a good sign from the Chinese
Ryan and I went to our week 37 appointment this morning. The good news is all the hicupping Baby Hoose has been having is a very good sign of a healthy baby!
As far as any labor progress: zip, zero, zilch. Baby is still the down position and dancing up a storm. So all is well.
I did, however, have some yummy (and very spicy) Chinese for lunch yesterday and my fortune was VERY promising; see picture below.
I think I will bring this with me when I go into the hospital and wave it around to the nurses and Dr. telling them we need to live up to this fortune ;)

Practicing not sleeping already!
So, Baby Hoose has decided to help Mom practice what it will be like when he or she comes into the world and doesn't sleep...I was up at 3:45am and just could not get back to sleep!
The day will surely drag a bit for me, and Baby Hoose will be able to get all comfy and take a few naps inside his/her Mommy...but I am not jealous.
Well, kinda :)

Week 36: Excited and Anxious to meet Baby Hoose!
We had our 36 week doctor appointment today and all is well with Mom and Baby Hoose. Baby is in the down position (the Dr. said she could feel the baby's butt--how cute!).
Was hoping for some sort of news about baby's arrival, but I am buttoned up like Fort Knox for now! Doctor appointments are weekly from here on out so maybe next week something will be "happening".
Until next week,
Mama Hoose
