38 Weeks 1 Day

So today I continued to experience contractions, but they became further apart. This morning they were coming about every 6 minutes, then after that I have no idea because I was teaching all day, moving around the room, not really able to focus on the tightening. But I figured, hey, if they were true contractions I wouldn't have to "concentrate" on feeling them. I would feel them!

This morning during my 1st and 2nd period I was nauseous (again, so weird that I am experiencing nausea for the first time so late in pregnancy) and then became very nauseous again this afternoon during my homeroom. My contractions were still coming, but still very far apart and painless. Then I cramped up very badly for about a minute and a half at 3:30 and wished I wasn't sitting at my desk in a room full of children! Then it went away and I have felt zero pain since. Hurry up contractions! I'm ready and waiting for you! My doctor's appointment is tomorrow morning and I am so anxious. If I am not dilated any further than 1 cm I am going to freak! Come on baby! :D

Harrison has been VERY active! Today has been his most active day this entire pregnancy. He is constantly stretching out and contorting my stomach into weird, oblong and pointy shapes. My coworkers finally got to see just how extreme his movements are! Even right now, he is non-stop moving. I feel like he has just had enough and wants to stretch out his arms and legs so bad. He never gives up trying. Right now my stomach is completely lopsided because he is pushing his legs straight out. Soon, my sweet baby boy, you will have all the room in the world. Literally :)

Boring post, but since it's now coming down to the day I want to make sure to capture every day and what I am going through. Today it is unusually cold, it rained all day, and it snowed! I drove through hail on my way home and am now watching a purple storm roll in through our front windows. Bruiser is trembling because of the thunder. As I am trying to post he keeps climbing on top of me to protect me! Here is Bruiser, Super Dog.

Anyway, even though Marcus and I plan on having more children, you never know, this might be my only pregnancy that I am blessed with and I want to use this blog to help me document and remember it forever! I am so thankful for such a beautiful, fascinating, and smooth pregnancy even if it's my only one and I just can't believe it's coming down to an end. But I sure can't wait to see my precious baby Harry.
