To Strip or Not to Strip

My doctor told me that at 38 weeks she is willing to "strip" my membranes. Interesting! Sounds sick, sounds painful...sounds naughty! I walked out of her office totally unsure. I did some research. I called Sheri, who then called all of her sisters. Still confused and unsure.

What do you think? Should I strip?

37

No, I'm not 37 weeks, yet!

I just pulled up my blog so I could see how skinny I used to be. I do that now and then, just as a reality check. Sometimes I think I might just stay this chub forever because I was never really smaller than this. Reality is nice...I really did used to weigh roughly 30 pounds lighter. Thank Heaven!!!

Anyway, I noticed the freaky, floating baby counter thing. It says "37 Days!" Sweet!!!

It's no mystery that I am so NOT a great pregnant girl. I wish I were. But I'm not. And that's okay. I'm still going to love this baby and be a great mom.

But for now...can we all just say THIRTY SEVEN DAYS TO GO!!!!!

I'm nervous, I'm excited, I'm freaked out, I can hardly wait.

I have a doctor appointment this afternoon. So I'll take a pic of my ever-increasing tummy and post some more tomorrow.

I also need to do a post about the perinatal (birthing) classes that Tyler and I have been taking. They are the BEST.

p.s. Remember when I said I was going to post about Costa Rica? Ya...I really just might do that someday.

31 Weeks...in Costa Rica

Um...this picture kind of makes me laugh! I was obviously unaware of the flattering photo-op taking place.
I'll post more about Costa Rica later this week.

Happy February

Seriously...it's February? Dang! Is that darn groundhog going to see his shadow tomorrow or what? Hmmm? I don't think I really care, 'cause either way I get to go to Costa Rica this month!!! I can hardly wait. Family and fun in the sun. Oh man, get here already my sweet vacation!

Speaking of, I went shopping on Saturday to find a bathing suit (I liked this one) and some summer-type clothing for the trip. I was in the dressing room at Target putting on the third bathing suit when I burst into tears. I all of a sudden felt fat! I immediately got dressed and banned myself from looking in any mirrors for the remainder of the day. I had looked at my naked body for far too long - analyzing how my butt was slightly bigger and my boobs...well, seriously, I'm just happy I never went through with that augmentation I was contemplating.

At this point I think I'll just swing by DI in the next few days to pick me up a nice Mu'mu'u to sport for the entire stay in paradise. Unless anyone has a better suggestion for me...

Well, anyway, Happy February to you all. Here's to another fresh start. Another month to claim I'm going to finally post "belly pics." Another month of counting down the days (85) until this little baby girl is in my arms. I can hardly wait...
