This whole enormous belly thing is not my cup of tea, but oh so worth it all at the same time. And I know it will be so much more worth it when I get to see the little man that's camping out inside there. Which is still really hard for me to wrap my head around, that there is a full sized baby in my belly. Miracle.
I've had some friends make some guesses on when Nixon will make his big arrival. Bethany said November 23rd, thanks for being so generous dear :) Chase said the 28th, what an eventful Thanksgiving that would be. Miranda said November 29th. Kelsey said December 4th, and AJ said December 7th, while I don't appreciate him going over my due date it's probably pretty realistic. Because do you want to know what my guess is? December 10th. And I'm slowly coming to terms with that. You see, December 10th makes perfect sense BECAUSE: Kohn said that was the only day I wasn't allowed to have him on because he's got a huge final that day, Nicole and Jordana want me to have him that day because it's their birthdays and they think I owe them some big birthday present or something ;) and at my 20 week appointment Dr. Noorda had considered changing my due date to December 10th but didn't because he's a nice guy. So basically I will be 100% okay with him coming before December 10th, but I'm not getting my hopes up, and I will cry if he's not here by then.
*Nixon is the size of a winter melon...or my other app says watermelon...
*Nixon COULD come any time now and be considered full term.
How far along? 37 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: Enough.
Sleep: I wake up a lot in the night to readjust, go to the bathroom, or just because Nixon thinks it's time to play and is having a hay day kicking me.
Best moment this week?It's always a highlight to hear that heartbeat, and it's always so fun to feel him moving around.
Miss anything? Sleep and being able to walk and bend like a normal person.
Movement? Oh yes!
Food cravings: Carbs....
Have you started to show yet? Uh yes.
Gender? BOY!!!!!
Labor signs? False. Even braxton hicks aren't very common for me.
Belly button in or out? I am declaring it out.
Wedding rings on or off? Off :( all jewelry is off.
Happy or moody most of the time? It really just depends.
Looking forward to: Getting our little man here! But since we've still got a little ways before that happens I'll enjoy the little things between now and then, like my shower this weekend, getting to see David, Angela, and Jaxon in a little over a week, and stuffing my face with Thanksgiving dinner...even though I can hardly eat a lot of food at once anymore...
