This week I've gotten to the point where I don't know how I can possibly go on, get any bigger, or feel anymore uncomfortable. I was never to this point with Georgia and she was a day late and I did get mighty uncomfortable with Milam but I don't remember it being this "early". I'm sure it's compounded by taking care of two kids, one of which still needs my help a lot, the fact that I'm not getting any younger, and that my body isn't as strong after having done this two times already. My lower abs hurt often and so does my belly button area (which I've never felt before). I went and bought a belly support band for this guy today and it seems to be helping. I already feel some relief in my back. I plan on getting a postpartum one as well to help strengthen my core again.
I have an appointment next Thursday. It will be an appointment with my doctor but I'll also be getting my final ultrasound to get a better estimate of his size and figure out if we want to induce or not. He feels bigger to me than my other two just because I'm so uncomfortable that in my head he has to be bigger but it could also just be me being grumpy.
We got all of our baby items out of the attic and are missing a few things so I need to get busy on getting all of that taken care of. And I think he'll need different holiday clothes than Milam because he'll be about 2 months behind in these first seasons.
My reflux is pretty bad throughout the day but it is manageable. I'm looking forward to so many things about not being pregnant anymore but I'm so not ready for a newborn (which I say all the time). I'm interested in seeing what he looks like since Georgia is blonde/blue eyes and Milam is red hair/blue eyes. We don't have a lot of guesses but his ultrasounds look a lot like Milam! We shall see.
You can tell with Georgia I didn't swell. My face and arms were a lot smaller even though I worked out and ate better with both boys. Her due date of mid May was so much easier on my body! The pictures are in order so G is on the far left and Milam is in the middle.

You look wonderful! I know what you mean about getting uncomfortable earlier though, ugh. With my last two I was way more uncomfortable all the way through, which makes me think that it had to do with getting older - which was just dandy, right?! But I had alot of pain with Georgie at the end, and she was my biggest baby, so that might be part of it too!
