Getting Round: Week 38--Full Term!


Made it!  The Dr. says I can now safely go at any time.  I'm sure I won't--but it still feels good to know that Carter has hopefully developed and received everything he needs to thrive outside Hotel Megan.

Did I mention that I hate heartburn?  Yes?  OK.  Just makin' sure.


It feels like time has dragged on, and yet I can't believe I could pop at any minute.  I'm still trying to finish reading Baby Wise and feel so unprepared as far as what to do once he's outside of me. 

Every time I feel ticked I have to tinkle again, I think how much harder it will be changing diapers.  Every time I feel uncomfortable, I think of how my arms will probably fall asleep holding him.  Every time I'm tired, I think of how I will be getting up during the night for feedings.  So while I teeter on freaking out about how much my life is about to change (standing on the precipice!!) I still get so excited to see him.

So, chop, chop Carter.  Let's get a move on.  I feel good about this being my last weekly photo.  Especially when Claudy tells me my belly looks like a watermelon.

You look so cute! I can't wait to see that handsome little boy you've been cooking this whole time! I love babywise. I swear by it. If you have any questions, you just ask away. Don't let the haters scare you....
