READY TO EXPLODE!

So this is a Horrible picture but I thought you'd enjoy it. It is a pretty accurate description of how I feel :) My Maternity clothes are starting to get too tight.... that is a sure sign you know the kid needs to come out!! I had another midwife appt. today. (They are always an adventure) It was SOO HOT as I was waiting for my turn. I was dripping with sweat and ready to pass out at any given moment. All I could think about was how HOT and HUMID it is going to be in the Birthing room. I just pray I go into labor at night... maybe it will be a bit cooler. There is no A/C and I'm pretty sure I'm going to die from heat exhaustion. I'll keep you posted on that! The good news is that Ms. Janga (the midwife) Thinks I'll go into active labor any day! If I don't by next Monday she is going to get things going.... THANK HEAVENS! I'm beyond the point of ready for this kid! I am a bit nervous for the actual delivery..... she doesn't want me in the birthing room until I am dialated 7cm.... I'm supposed to be walking around the hospital halls... so this should be a VERY exciting experience!

ahhhh Im so excited! and a tad bit nervous for you, can I say that without you worrying fingers crossed you have her at night....I cant imagine.

Wow Jill! You do look about ready to pop (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). I can't believe she wants you walking the hospital halls until you are dialated to a 7!!!! Once I hit 7 it is only about 15 minutes until I am ready to push!!! Wow! I will be praying for you! Good luck!

Oh Jill...I remember when my maternity clothes got tight...that's not a good feeling. Poor little lamb....good luck with everything! You are a trooper...I guess riding a bike in a skirt really prepared you for future times;)

Jill, you are AMAZING!! Don't ya just love it when the maternity clothes don't quite cut it anymore, but there's no way you want to buy anything else when your so close to the end! No matter what you say, you look great! ( yes, uncomfortable, but great anyway!) I love super super pregnant belly pics- but man, the humidity and heat have got to be the worst. I hope you do get to go into labor at night, and that it will go fast for you, none of this walking the halls until you're a 7!!

Rachel said...

What an adventure! Now you'll know how it would have felt to be a pioneer...sort of...except the midwives are a lot more knowledgeable nowadays! Can't wait for you to have her!

Heather B said...

7 cm!! We will pray for you! And have Ben there fanning you every second of the way! I know, a spray bottle of water AND a fan!! That will help! Your blog is way cute. Keep us posted. (By the way, your baby will always be the coolest kid in school with the claim to fame of being born in the Caribbean.)

I'm totally jealous of you and what is coming up for you! I don't think I've ever seen you so happy. Good luck with it all! I'm betting Kimber is an almost 9 pounder...just too be funny :)

Julie said...
