Big Boy

I know I always say this but I really have been a slacker lately when it comes to my blog. I have pictures from Christmas and New Years that I still haven't even put on my computer so, unfortunately, this will be a pictureless post. It seems like the extreme tiredness that I felt in the first trimester has hit me again full force. I have no energy and no motivation to do anything really. Just a little pregnancy update- I am now 35 weeks pregnant! I can't believe it, it seem so surreal to me that I am only a month away from my due date. We had our 34 week ultrasound last Thursday. The boy is definately growing, that is for sure! He is measuring exactly where he should be as far as his little body is concerned and everything looked great. Weight-wise, he's a big boy! I was shocked when they told me that they are guessing he weighs about 5 lbs 6 oz. That was at 34 weeks. In the last trimester, the baby should gain an average of about a 1/2 a pound a week. So if you do the math, if I were to go completely full term, I could be having a freakin 8 1/2 pound baby! I'm just a little bit nervous about that. My doctor has been telling me for the past couple of appointments that I am measuring a little bit small so I was expecting the baby to be on the smaller side. Yeah, not so much. I'm so glad that he's healthy and growing but the thought of him being that big come delivery time is not a comforting thought! Maybe I'll have him a little early- that would be nice but I guess we'll see. It was so fun to see him though, he's gotten SO much bigger since our last ultrasound and he's definately getting chubbier. We got a pretty good picture of his cute face and got to see him smacking his little lips. I promise I'll post some pictures soon, I need to document my very very large belly! I'm hoping these next few weeks go by quickly, I'm getting so big and uncomfortable. I'm just ready for him to be here. But then I think about it and I'm not ready at all. I'm not neccessarily scared of having a baby and being a mom (although that is a pretty scary thought), but it's the labor and delivery part that scares me the most. All I can do is pray that things go relatively smoothly when the time comes I guess. Any good labor stories or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated- I'm starting to freak out a little!
