38 Weeks

Cole is the size of a pumpkin at 19-21 inches and 6-9 pounds.

His job this week is just prepare for birth but shedding the white goo on his skin called vernix caseosa.

We had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and things did not go the way I was hoping! Dr. Macfarlane made a comment about our baby not being 5 pounds, so I thought I'd ask if he had a guess on how big the baby was going to be. He told me that when he checked me he would tell me if the baby was fitting or not fitting into the pelvic bones. Well he went to check me and feel for the head and said that the baby still hasn't dropped and that he can't really even be sure if the baby is still head down. If sonogram wasn't busy I would of had a sonogram then and there but he said it can wait until next week's appointment. The Dr. also said that if the baby doesn't drop by 40 weeks then we'll be talking c-section. UGH!

I was super discouraged and sad when we left. I had to hold back my tears all the way out to the car.

I'm just so ready to meet him and he's not getting any closer to coming out.

On to other news... I could eat sno cones all day every day! It was 97 degrees yesterday and I had two!

I also had a heat related melt down yesterday! I went grocery shopping and then by the time I got all of the groceries loaded and brought home, I was sweaty and feeling exhausted! Josh looked at me strangely when I had to remove some clothing items as soon as I walked in the door and then I lost it. I started crying telling him that I was so hot and that he doesn't understand what it's like to carry around an extra 35 pounds and have a human being curled up touching you all the time when it's 97 degrees outside! He then proceeded to put away all of the groceries while I laid down on the couch! 

This little man has been so clingy to me recently! He is always in my face or sitting on my lap or curled up next to the baby. He knows something is going on! The night I packed our hospital bag he sat on my lap and shook all night, it was so sad!
