picture of baby belly

It always amazes me at what people say sometimes. Last week several people said to me "you look pregnant". How does one respond to that - really guess what I am pregnant! Then another person said wow you still haven't had that baby. I was only 33 weeks - am I that big? Then I was talking with some stranger and she asked when I was due and I said 4 weeks (wishful thinking) and she said wow you are so small.

So I don't know what to think! Here is a picture - please keep your comments to yourself.

Here is the last picture we took when I was 23 weeks 5 days.


Here is a new picture of me at 33 weeks 5 days. (Don't mind the fact I have no makeup and just woke up from a nap.)

My bag is packed

I packed my bag today for the hospital. I am getting very anxious for this little guy to join our family. I will be 34 weeks tomorrow, so we are at the stage where if he came now, the survival rate is 99% with very few complications. What a relief!

My mom went into preterm labor around 6 weeks early with both me and my sister. So I wanted to make sure I was prepared just in case this guy decided to do the same.

We go to the dr tomorrow and hopefully this appointment we will actually have time to talk with the dr. Our last few appointments he has been in a rush to get to the hospital to go deliver a baby.

Am I delusional?

So I am on the count down - only 34 days until the stitches come out! YEAHHH I am getting so excited.

In my delusional world I believe that right when the DR. takes out the stitches the baby is just going to pop right out, I won't need to be weak and take the drugs because the baby will just slide right out! Then that will allow me to have two weeks to recover before making the 10hr drive down to California to the beach for Thanksgiving.

By that time I will have mastered being a mother, the midnight feedings, the messy poopy diapers, bathing, dressing and don't forget the breast feeding. Oh and the baby will be sleeping through the night by then as well. I will be such a pro in that two weeks people will be wanting to interview me for my secret tips on how I am such a great mom and how I mastered it all in such a short amount of time. Did I mention that I will have lost all my baby fat and will be sporting my skinny clothes while at the beach!

I might just have to write a book!! I should start thinking of some titles now. Any suggestions?

Last night I started organizing the baby stuff we have thus far. It was fun to see all the cute clothes and all the gadgets and gizmos galore that a baby requires. I am so on top of things!

So no one be jealous of me and my delusional world because like I said I am delusional. But I am alright with that and know that having everything planned and organized will make this whole experience so much easier.
