So the last few weeks have been pretty darn miserable. Last week at my 37 week appointment Ella was completely transverse and measuring 34 weeks. I left not crying like I did with Layla...but angry. I just wanted to have the reassurance that we were good to go for delivery, but instead I had to schedule an ultrasound, two extra doc appointments and once again discuss the possibility of a version and c-section. I was just so incredibly frustrated. I feel very sore these days and uncomfortable and sleep is not even an option anymore. I push myself to clean work and take care of the kids but its really taking a toll on my body. Case in point...check out these feet after just ONE 12 hour shift of work.

Jason says it feels like pudding....I feel like Im walking around on giant water balloons. Its very painful. I get up to pee a minimum of 4 times a night...get at least one massive leg cramp a night...and can never get comfortable. Then when I do sleep my dreams are insane. I know the end result will be more than worth it...I just want the END to be here now. I just have a little over a week to go but when you are beyond tired with a 4 and 2 year old and a house to clean and groceries to buy and laundry to do....those 10 days can seem like an eternity.
Well today I anxiously went to my ultrasound to see if baby girl really was as small as she measured. Well...not only was she head down YAY!! but she is definately not small measuring in at 7lbs8oz according to the ultrasound tech. So...to me this means hey...youre locked and loaded and definately big enough so GET OUT. lol I wont be doing anything crazy to force her out, but any time she decides to come would be fantastic to me.
Just for fun (probably mostly for me) here's some pics of my progress...
