Ok Ok. Time for an Update!

This is mostly because Jessica asked for one :) The last month has been pretty hectic. Between starting school, work, finishing up my practicum, and all the baby showers, it's been pretty hard to keep track of time! I am officially in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy and, honestly, it's horrible. I can't wait for it to be over.

To summarize, I have a small torso and small pelvis. It's a genetic thing. My mom has the same problem which is why my sister and I ended up c-sections despite the fact that we were both pretty small babies. Anyway, I am growing an elephant baby who already weighed 7lbs at 35.5 weeks. I am 36 weeks now and will have another ultrasound on Thursday to get a new weight estimate. At this point I am measuring at 40 weeks. I am weighing my options and have not ruled out an elective c-section, especially if they find that he is approaching 8lbs. No way I am going to push out a 10lb baby!!

I have figured out a way for me to graduate a quarter early and will be meeting with my advisor next week to discuss my plan. I think he will go for it. I am also still working on the paperwork to possibly teach an undergraduate course in the Fall. I am also meeting with my practicum coordinator next week to set up my advanced internship. And all of this has to get figured out before baby gets here! Let's cross our fingers and pray everything goes as planned.

In other news, Mike is coming home soon. He won't make it home in time for the birth, but will be here shortly after, so I guess I can't complain. At least he will get 2 full weeks with the baby, though I think he is pretty bummed that he will be missing the birth. Maybe it's better that way :) I still have to convince my sister that she is NOT video taping it.

We had a loss in the family. Our fish of 1 year, Mr. Fishy, got excited and jumped out of his bowl. He landed on the ground and Peanut ate him. It was a sad day. RIP Mr. Fishy.

I think that's all for now. I will try to be better at updating!
