I wanted to post the latest picture of my belly-- here I am at 38 weeks and 1 day. Please excuse my no makeup face! I remember when this shirt used to fit me a little too lose when I first bought it and now it barely covers my entire belly! I love that the maternity pants I got during my first trimester still fit me! Those elastic "hidden bellies" really, really stretch! I thought I would have to invest in a new pair of pants toward the end of my pregnancy but I'm glad I don't have to : ).Things are ok, just really tough but hey you already know that from my constant complaining. Last night was specially hard because I woke up three times gasping for air. It was as if my throat was closing up and I had to do whatever I could to get any air in : (. It was awful and scary to wake up to no air! I ended up sleeping on the couch and did not have any more episodes but unfortunately my couch is not very sturdy so I woke up after a few hours with some horrendous pelvic pain. At that point I just started to cry! I think it was 4am or so and I was delirious from a lack of sleep so I was walking around in the dark and doing my pelvic stretches. Finally around 7am I went back to my bed hoping I would have no more "throat-closing" episodes. I didn't and slept until about 10am.
So that's the latest. No sign of impending labor. Haven't had any cramping for a few days now... just lots of baby movement and braxton hicks .
