I have gained at least ten pounds since yesterday, y'all. I'm waiting for Nonny to bring home some dinner from Chipotle, but I have got to get back to eating things that AREN'T PUMPKIN PIE as my appointment with Dr. B is on Monday. Dr. B visit = getting on the dreaded scale (evil little thing). I've been having more Braxton-Hick's contractions and moderate "monthly-type" cramping (painful enough that they woke me up a few times in the middle of the night). On Wednesday, I left a message for the nurse and she said to go lay down, drink lots of water, and if the cramps continued, to go to the hospital. Of course I almost started to cry! The cramps are much better now, which makes me wonder if I'm pushing myself a little too hard at work. I'll ask Dr. B's opinion when I see him.
We had a nice Thanksgiving. Mom made too much food and had way too many desserts...just the way we like it! My brother and sister-in-law weren't there (busters) and that was kinda weird. It's funny about holiday tradition. The turkey just didn't taste the same without you, Nad. These things got me to thinking about Nonny and myself and what kind of holiday traditions we'll share with Madelyn. With so little time left until she'll be here (we're full term in three weeks! Amazing!), I've been daydreaming about next year and how wonderful it will be to have a little one to experience Thanksgiving with and Christmas with; I'm getting teary-eyed as I write about it! I'm also wondering if she'll be here before Christmas or if she'll make me wait. I hate not knowing! Some of the girls I chat with on a pregnancy web site said that their OB's/midwives are inducing them early because their babies are measuring big. Maddie has gained a steady two pounds a month and these last few weeks are when babies typically gain the most, so if we wait until her actual due date, we're looking at a ten pounder. Right. I will admit that my feelings on induction have changed at this point.
XOXO
