29-11-2009 - 31 week appt.

My mood while writing this blog: Kinda bored

---

So I had my 31 week appt. on Friday, and everything is going fine. The doc told me I've gained more weight than he would have liked me to, but I don't care. I've gained 24 lbs, and he said he would have liked for it to be a little closer to 18, but I figure what is 6 lbs right?? I know he's right, but it still kind of made me mad. So he's thinking by the time the baby comes, I'll probably have gained about 40 lbs...which isn't too bad I don't think. I'm definately gonna try to be more health conscious the next few months though. I'm so scared of staying fat after I have the baby. I'm only 21, and I'm scared if I don't get in shape now, I never will. (I was probably 20 lbs or so overweight before getting pregnant.) So the boyfriend and I went grocery shopping and I made sure to get all kinds of fruits and veggies that I like, and he bought me a Prenatal Yoga DVD lol! My aunt also goes walking 4 nights a week up at our local highschool, so I think I'll start doing that with her a few nights a week at least. It's nice to have somewhere close, and indoors, since the weather is really starting to cool down now. I think it's supposed to be in the 20's all week, and it only gets worse after that...ughhh. Damn Minnesota winters. I can't imagine having to lug a newborn around in our Jan/Feb weather :(

The doctor also told me (by measuring just with his hands!?!?!) that he thinks the baby is big, and head down. Head down is good, a big baby, not so good. Except for the doc told me that he wouldn't be surprised if the baby came a few weeks early...which would be just fine with me! But I think that's a somewhat bold statement for him to make after just putting his hands on my belly, and that's it. I guess he IS a doctor, but still. He came in, and was in the room for seriously less than 5 minutes I bet. And he thinks he can just stick his hands on my belly and say, yup he's a big guy, he'll probably come early?!?! I guess I kind of hope he's right, but not what I was expecting to hear...which brings me to my next point...

Holy shit, I'm going to have a baby in the next 9 weeks (or maybe a few weeks sooner than that?!?!) Oh my god. I'm so scared all of a sudden, I don't even know what to do with myself. My boyfriend is all excited and he just can't wait, and it's definately not that I'm not excited, but holy crap...a baby. I've done childcare since I was like 13, I'm awesome with kids, and I really love the idea of being a mom, but still...a baby changes EVERYTHING. And my boyfriend works full-time and goes to school Mon-Fri, and I just feel like he's never gonna see the little guy.

I'm getting nervous about everything...money, breastfeeding, our living situation, getting ANY sleep, bonding with the baby...gosh, the list could go on and on... but I really am excited to hold my little bub :) I know I'm gonna cry like a baby the first time I see him...I bet the boyfriend does too...I kinda hope he does anyway lol
