39 weeks ...the waiting game ..


I'm officially tired of being pregnant ;)..I'm as big as a house ..can't walk..cant sit for long..and my feet are so swollen they don't even look human anymore. I guess this is the price of bringing a beautiful little baby into the world. Last visit to the midwife my blood pressure was high so they are a bit concerned. Looks like if Junie doesn't come on her own by next tues. It was suggested that we induce labor to get her out.
I wasn't too thrilled about that ..but I guess as long as she comes out ok and in good health thats all that should matter.  I developed a crazy rash on my belly which the midwife said is normal..It's called PUPPP and should go away as soon as I deliver but it itches like crazy and it's driving me insane. Also developed group B strep (yay)..another totally common thing apparently, I was told it's a bacteria that can live in your intestines harmless for me but can be really dangerous for the baby ..so when I go into labor I will have to be put on antibiotics (more yays) . This pregnancy thing is so nerve racking, but I suppose I can't complain too much, over all it was a really easy pregnancy. I hope labor isn't too painful. I've been having a lot of anxiety about it. I know Jim will be there to help and i'm super confident in the hospital and staff that work at Winthrop..but it's still scary.
