It's funny... now that I started with a fresh new email, I never even missed all that crap I used to get. Those I wanted to keep (like my Air.miles updates) , I changed over to the new email. When I went into the old account, take a guess how many unread emails I had in there since April...
652!!!
That's insane. It took me 3 hours to clean it out and makes all the changes. 3 hours I needlessly gave away to junk. How very sad. Luckily it's over.
In other random news, I had my OB appt on Thursday. All is well with both Bean and I. We got the results of our growth scan from a couple of weeks ago. The official word from my OB is that (and these were her exact words):
"You are not going to have a 12lb ginormous baby!"
I am thrilled to no end as you can well imagine. Bean's head measured in the 5oth to 90th percentile (hence the techs talking about being ahead in measurements) and her abdomen is 50th percentile. Completely average.
An "average" sized baby at 40 weeks term is 7.5 lbs. I'll go with average! I told my Ob about my gut feeling about going early and everyone else going really early around me. She didn't say much except that we aim for 37th weeks. Really didn't expect her to say anything else. Guess we just see what happens after all.
Meanwhile I feel like my body is breaking down on me. I have had such excruciating hip pain. I know I've gotten off easy with this pregnancy but I feel like my body is breaking down on me. Not a comfy feeling for someone with a chronic pain condition in Remission. It scares me a little.
Which reminds me that it is 9:15pm and past my bedtime. My hands need a break since they seems to ache along with my wrists when I type too long. Yay for hints of pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. I've had issues due to the fibro before so I know how to deal with it.
On a funny but not so funny note. I lost one pair of maternity pants on Friday. I have 3 that actually fit me right now. Somehow I had worn them out in the inner thigh enough that they ripped 6 inches widthwise across my thigh. Boy was I lucky no one could really see it unless I showed them. I'm 7 bloody weeks from having a baby and I had to go buy more pants this weekend to get through 2 more weeks of work! Agghhh! Very very annoying. And yes, I have laughed at this. It's too ridiculous
It makes me very very glad to be off work soon. 9 work days and counting.
Alright, I'm done. I apologize for any typos you may encounter; I'm exhausted. Night.

Glad to hear you and the little one are doing so well. Sorry to hear your body is giving you such fits. The end of pregnancy is a very uncomfortable time.
I'm glad to hear Bean is right on track! After waiting all this time, it is strange to think of birth being so imminent.
I know you have had a lot of fibro related pain but I also had a lot of hip pain about half-way through my pregnancy. My doc talked with me about some stretches that really helped. I don't know if this would be an option for you?
Of course, my pelvis is still protesting the extra weight I've been carrying around. I look like an old woman trying to get up off a couch or out of a car. But it is better than it was!
Lovely to read both the posts.
Am so glad that you are just a few days away from the official maternity leave.
What your boss said on the elevator is really quite a statement, but the statistics that you are quoting so far as Bean is concerned make the prospect of early-labour not that scary.
Am sure Bean will come in her own time, and that will be healthy and happy and smiling in your arms.
Hope you can make through the next two days in your remaining two maternity pants. :-)
Mothers are so nice!
