All I want for Christmas...

Is a newborn baby!!! My goodness I know I'm asking for a lot since I'm not due until January 16, but I've been miserable, been on bedrest and now decided I'm just going to try and stay positive and push my body to get things done. This baby is ready to come as far as I can tell. I had an appointment yesterday and he has dropped and is doing well still..which means he is huge and still in my ribs for being dropped and likes to move all the time...way more active than the other two were. If I'm still pregnant at Christmas of course you'll get a picture of how big I've gotten. So far I have kept off twenty excessive pounds that I gained with Ali's pregnancy but I'm guessing that's because I haven't been hooked up to IV's at all like I was with her for a few days during the pregnancy. Those things made me bloat like crazy...oh yeah and no swelling in the feet or legs so far!! Yay...just strong contractions that hurt from my back to front...and sciatic pain...but life keeps going..
