Getting ready for Zoe (37 weeks)


I'm currently 37wks + 2 days and almost at the home stretch, i feel so overwhelmingly tired of being  pregnant  right now that i just want to  pop this baby out... and my pelvis/pelvic area hurts so bad when I get up or even when I move/change position in bed. It's gotten to the point that it hurts to even get out of bed or sit up. Even walking is majorly uncomfortable. It started when I was 36wks preggo... I've also been having preterm contractions, but nothing has been regular yet. The baby moves all the time and my dr says that there's nothing wrong, but the pain and pressure sometimes worries me....

I have an scheduled CS operation on the afternoon of Jan. 31st in time for my husband's arrival... Can't wait to get this baby out, can't wait to hold her in my arms....
