40 weeks

So basically I’m huge and almost the same weight as when I had M.  It seems I put most of it on at the very end and seeing as how I’m 40 weeks tomorrow I consider that the end… but my doctor doesn’t. At my check up today I was half hoping he would tell me I’m in the starting stages of labour OR to to go the hospital and get induced over the next few days but neither happened.  I’m not in labour and he told me to come back next week for another exam and ultra sound.  Dammit!! 

The ultrasounds are uncomfortable and the exams even more.  So if nothing happens naturally this week then back we go to the doctor.  What is it with these kids not wanting to leave my body?  It seems other people can’t wait to leave me.

Anyway, I don’t have any pics to post as my computer is unavailable but I’ll try to post some soon so I can see my weight journey from beginning, middle and end.

I’m thinking this time around I’ll just stick to what I know works for me when I’m trying to lose weight which is watching my choice of foods and counting calories.  I”m not good with fad diets or cutting stuff out, I’ve always had more success with just being sensible and eating the right foods, not overeating and watching my calories.  I’m also hoping to have better luck breastfeeding but I’m not afraid to supplement with formula when necessary. 

So the countdown begins… my bet is that I’ll be at the doctors next week with no further progress than I’m at now.  I’ll think positively and try to talk this baby into coming out asap but I’m not sure it will do much good.

Halloween 2008 – she’s into it!

This was the first Halloween that M went out trick or treating, and it was a huge success!!

With the company of her cousins showing her the ropes she was a pro by the second house.  Once she learned that she gets free candy just by knocking on the door and saying trick or treat she had no time to waste.  She couldn’t move fast enough to the next house.

I thought she would be afraid or not into it seeing as how she’s really not into attention from strangers but she loved it!  She said thank you at every house which I’m really happy about.

It amazed me how quickly she picked it up and how she just got it, what to do and what to say.  I guess since she’s my first I don’t know what speed or age kids are supposed to adapt to new things but she amazes me all the time.  I’m so proud of her.

Today we went to a Bar Mitzvah and she danced up a storm on the dance floor, surprising me once again.  She’s usually so shy and today she was on the dance floor the whole time.  She’s still a little reluctant with people she doesn’t know but she’s getting better.  And I can’t ask for more.
