38 Weeks

Well, forget the whole 37 weeks update I'm just going to do 38 weeks. Again, I'm visualizing myself going into labor on the 21st so I'm sticking with calling today 38 weeks instead of waiting till Sunday. I just got back from my doc appointment and the numbers are 2 and 70% (those who care will know what it means) He said well, you could go into labor and the cranky pregnant lady that I am mummbled, "no I won't." I always go to term so there's no point in getting my hopes up... right?

Baby peaches is moving around like CRAZY, which is hard cause she's so big now. Instead of little tickles it feels like my insides are bursting out of my body. The other day I was inspecting a noise and had my hand resting on my stomach, she kicked it and it scared me! Seriously, like someone jumping out from behind me and shouting "Boo!".

I'm basically miserable because my back hurts so bad and if my back isn't hurting I'm having some crazy braxon hicks contraction that's squeezing my stomach to a pancake. At nighttime I welcome the stomach squeezing because it takes my mind off my restless leg. I've found that taking a super long steamy hot shower is the best fix for all of the above.

Heartburn. I know I've already complained about this but it's gotten worse. EVERYTHING gives me heartburn and I'm downing the tums like crazy. As Chris put it "this baby better come out with braids" cause you know the myth that heartburn = lots o hair.

The top 2009 baby names were released today and that was fun going over the list. They break it down into the top 1000 names. Just something interesting to me, here are the names we are thinking and their ranking. {Call me a nerd but I like following baby name trends}.
