On top of the mess of "issues" that could potentially be going on with yours truly, last week at the doctors office my OBGYN told me that I had been telling people the wrong due date. I have been telling everyone my due date is February 22nd, and she said that technically, going by the "date of my last cycle", I am due on February 25th. The sonographers consistently tell me the 22nd, and the doctor said that's just where I'm measuring, but my technical due date isn't until the 25th.
Therefore my weekly updates on Tuesday's are in fact too early, and they should be written on Friday's.
Apparently I am an elephant and my gestation period will just continue to lengthen until I hit 2 years and give birth to a toddler. Dramatic? yes. Is it only a mere 3 days difference? yes. But at over 6 months pregnant, nearing 7 months, and feeling like I just keep expanding (in the belly AND the face), those 3 days are making a difference.
Is it wrong that so many other mommies I know have said "ohmygosh, I looooooved being pregnant" and all I want to do is cock my head to the side like Whinnie does when she pretends to understand something but really has no idea what is going on, and say to them "why?!"
Don't get me wrong. I feel blessed for our little miracle every single day. And I love feeling him kick and squirm around in there. And I know I'm going to miss that once he's born. I'm just over the pain, uncomfortableness, restricting clothes, fat face, sausage fingers, and swollen ankles, and I'm ready to love on our little guy.
Are all of the "glamours" of pregnancy worth it? Absolutely. My Christmas is coming in February this year. February 22nd to be exact. Ok, or maybe the 25th...
