July 1st

I made it to July!!!! YES!!!! i never ever EVER thought this month would get here!! at this point i do not care when Mikaela comes..i just want her to be here already! allen and i are both so anxious that the wait (even though technically we still have like 3.5 weeks) is KILLING us!! i am 36 weeks pregnant, so i really should want to wait another week or so until i'm considered "full term", but i just want to see her so badly. and i want to go ahead and get into the groove of mommyhood before i head back to school next month. when i went to the doctor on Tuesday, she told me that i was measuring a little bit ahead, which i think was about 37 weeks instead of 35.5....so she said that if i'm still measuring big at my next appointment, then they'll do an ultrasound to see how big the baby is. i'm kind of hoping that i'll measure big so that they'll do an ultrasound, then tell me that the baby's big, and then take her even earlier than the 21st. That's my wishful thinking..but i would love to see her sooner rather than later!! it's HOT in the summer, and my swollen feet are not very happy with me at all..i'm just tired all the time and just over the whole pregnancy thing this time. Fortunately, we don't live in South Carolina anymore..i would DIE if i had to brave this last trimester in triple digit temps...definitely thankful for the cooler than normal temps that we've had up here...

hoping mikaela decides to come soon (or i get fat so that i'll measure big and she can come earlier!!)
