I've never been through this part of a pregnancy. I'm 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow and the twins were born a day or two before I reached 36 weeks. My body feels like it's not really mine! It's not at all comfortable. Even sleep brings no relief, as pains and strange feelings wake me up every few hours at least. My belly looks lower, so I guess the baby has "dropped" and I am finding it easier to breath, finally, but that's the only positive I can say about this part of the pregnancy.
I find myself inwardly and outwardly complaining a lot (I'm so sorry, Sam!) and I try to think of ways to put a positive spin on it. Each time I think about how much my hips hurt, I try to think instead of the fact that I'm making a new person! Or when I think about the fact that all my insides feel like they don't want to stay on the inside anymore . . . I think "I'm making a new little person!" And when I think about how much longer I have to go and "When oh when is this thing coming out!" I try to remember that I'm making a new person, and it won't come out until it's done!
We now have an actual appointment for our C-Section. It is scheduled for February 20th at 8:00 in the morning. To be honest, though, I don't think this baby is going to wait that long. It already feels like it's going to fall out! lol. So it may be joining us a bit earlier than that!

It's nice when the baby drops. You can breathe and don't have that foot under your ribs all the time (I hate that!). BUT, you have to hook your hands under your belly to hold it up if you should want to actually move at all! Most babies are born within a few days of their due dates, so don't hold your breath on the early thing. :-D
Oh, Sandie, I'm so hoping that you get to have a baby soon! I can't wait to meet him/her! Think like they think in AA -- one day at a time -- and before you know it, it will be here!
