I know the counter on the right says 9 days, but that was done with my due date and I'm too lazy to try and fix it...the official countdown is actually....
4 DAYS!!!!!
That's right, almost exactly 4 days!!!
Friday morning at 10:00 am Nicole is scheduled to come out and meet us (whether she wants to or not!!) and I can't wait!! Of course I'm excited to meet her and see her in person, but I am definitely ready to have my body back and feel normal again!! I will post a picture before we go to the hospital of what I look like now, but believe me, I am ALL baby - this is the first pregnancy I've had that gave me a real pregnancy belly that's round, almost basketball like!!
This pregnancy has been COMPLETELY different from the first two, and it really surprised me!! I have been healthier during this pregnancy than I was before I was pregnant!! My blood pressure has been lower than it has been ever in the past 6 years and I haven't had a lot of the side effects that I had with the other 2 kids and I'm convinced that it's because I was exercising up until I got pregnant and because I lost the 15 pounds before getting pregnant!! I have only gained 11 pounds during this pregnancy (which is the least amount someone my size can gain before they start worrying) which definitely took some work!! I have worked so hard to stay healthy and gain as little weight as possible. It paid off though because as it stands now I will leave the hospital weighing less than I did before I was pregnant!! AWESOME!!!
I have also lost weight during this pregnancy in my face and arms...clothes I was wearing are starting to get looser everywhere else but the belly area, and even that has stayed pretty in control...I have definitely been growing out to the front, but not to the side which is a first!! From directly in front or back you wouldn't know I was pregnant, and that's an accomplishment considering this baby isn't 6 pounds!!
So, 4 more days and we get to meet her....anyone want to place a guess as to her weight?? We're pretty sure she'll be over 9 pounds and Greg keep joking that she'll come out even larger...he's joking about 10 pounds, but I don't think there's enough room in there for 10 pounds of baby....we'll see!!! I will have Internet access in the hospital, so I will be putting up a blog post either Friday night or Saturday morning depending on when I have a chance so that everyone can see pictures and the stats!!
Until then.....
