Threes Days to Estimated Due Date

39 weeks, 5 days
And, that guesstimate is really iffy.  Who knows when baby Lily is ready to come?  Does baby Lily even know?  I sure don't know.  It could be this weekend, next week, the week after that, or later. I am working until next Friday.  Folks are surprised that I'm still working. I'm actually pretty mobile, even here at the end.  It was referenced several times in classes and materials I read that active pregnant ladies generally feel better and have easier labors.  I'm hoping that's the case for me.  I do certainly feel pretty good.  I've been trying to walk as much as possible, when my energy level, schedule, and the temperature allow.  It hasn't helped that it's been 35 degrees upon waking these past few days.

Thursday, I went to what could be my last chiropractor appointment.  My spine is pretty straight.  I am sure the way I'm sleeping is causing some discrepancies.  I'm not generally uncomfortable, save when I'm sleeping or when she's got her feetsies in my ribs.   It's hard to support the top of my abdomen, so it's aches, this especially because baby is often using my ribs to stretch her legs.  My chiropractor was happy with how aligned my spine was so close to my due date.  Virgos are like the Vulcans of humanity, so I probably have good posture from having a stick up my ass.  It's cool; we know that's how we are, and we don't want to be any different.

My mom and I bought groceries for this weekend.   I was supposed to end up at a baller party for a former coworker that just bought a house, but I decided not to go.  Usually, it would be because I'm tired.  But, today, I don't want to be treated like the walking time-bomb.  I make people nervous.  I now understand the comments one of the pregnant ladies in my new mommies group made.  She said that when she walked into a restaurant, they would ask her if she wanted to sit by the door, acting like she could have the baby any minute.  Maybe that's the intuition of the people around us telling us that they can tell changes are happening.  People will tell me in once breath that I don't really look THAT pregnant, but act as if I'm about to pop.  That's something to note.

  1. I could see how the ticking time bomb treatment would be irritating. I would say, "Yeah, I'm afraid too because everyone knows this baby could just fall out of me at any second."

    Where's the Loreena McKennitt and witchy songs in that music list? :) The wispy, magickal, moonlight dancing music! I like the "Mummers' Dance." Maybe it's just me but when I hear that, I long to frolic in the garden in the moonlight!
