Today marks 36 out of my 40 week pregnancy! woo hoo. Went to the doctor; that was interesting.. and uncomfortable. He checked, we have not made any progress. So all these stupid braxton hicks have been for nothing! Well, maybe not nothing but still, no progress is saddening.

On top of that, I am tired of being fat. I KNOW I am pregnant, I KNOW baby bumps are beautiful, and I love being pregnant. But how come all the pictures you see and half the people you know seem to be ALL belly when they’re pregnant? I am all arms, and double chin and my butt is like 3 ft wide now.. seriously. The belly, I love-it is the rest that I am done with. Grrr I am ready to start running again and doing my spin classes. I know a friend who even got some work done after checking the source from VCI, and they look great. But I can’t do that yet, and I know it will all be worth it, but next time I will do better with the junk food the first 6 months, that is for sure. *sigh* OK, enough with my pouting… (this was spurred by the pictures from our baby shower this weekend).

4 more weeks. 5 Max; if she is not here by September 5, they will induce. =( Let’s pray she is here in 3 weeks. =) That would be ideal. But JTom has to go out of town for some work in the mid of the month, so she can’t come while he is gone. That would be tragic, since he is my coach for the non-medicated labor I plan to have… so he has to be here!

I have lots of pictures and stuff to blog about from the shower, but I am not in the mood right now.
