Week 36

Posted on 4/13/2006 | 1 Comment on Week 36

Well, I’m officially 9 months today at week 36. When I hit week 37, the baby is considered full term and can come at any time.

We’ve got the nursery mostly done. I’m just touching up a few last paint spots and then I’ll post a picture.

I almost cried for the first time the other day when I went to borrow one of Patrick’s xxl shirts and it wasn’t big. In fact it barely covered my tummy. He, like a good husband, insists that it is one of his shrunken ones. Is shrunken a word?

I’m nearing 200 on the scale, but retaining a lot of fluid in my legs and feet. Didn’t you all want to know that? It makes me look like I have sausage slabs for legs and hobbit feet. I am supposed to be on bedrest 3-4 hours a day with my feet up.

We are as ready as we are ever gonna be and getting very excited. Still don’t know if I’ll have to be induced early or not. The doctor is now saying as long as my sugars stay good he’ll let me get as close to my date as possible.

And still no insulin! In fact my sugars have been really good this week with a high of 101! Down from getting occassional 115s and a lot of 105-110.

    In that instance shrunken is a word. Good Patrick.
