Doctor's checkup #5

Doctor's appointment at 9:45 in the morning. Yes, Becki sets these early morning appointments like it's nothing. Well. it is!!!

I got ready, and went upstairs before 9, and she was there. SHE WAS ALREADY THERE!! Becki Westergard, EARLY?!?!?! There's something wrong when that happens....Okay, I will not get into this any further because I still need her around. haha

I'd been feeling REALLY ready to pop this Little Godzilla out of me. He'd been kicking, head-budding, karate-chopping, whatever people do to move around and hurt people, he was doing. My stomach had been feeling heavier than ever, and pain comes and goes, and I for sure thought he was coming out sometime soon.........


NOT EVEN CLOSE


Dr. Cardona looked at me, and she said "Yuri, I can't even feel you! " I'm going, are you freakin' kidding me?!?! You are telling me that I might actually have to wait til my due date to get him out?!?!

So I was a little bummed walking out of the office with Becki, but the rest of the day was fun.

Since we still had no idea when Godzilla was coming out, the 2 of us went out for a little bit of last minute shopping. Walmart, Gordmans, Babysrus, TJMax....all sorts of places.

I think we got everything to take care of this baby except for an Ergobaby. Yushi and I were talking, and came to a conclusion that we wanted a DarkBrown one.

I still need to do a little bit of research on this thing tho.

We stopped at In and Out to get some burgers for lunch.

Mmmmmm...Good burgers :)

Later after coming home, I found this video on the web. This made me change the way I see this whole experience.

This is what I posted on Facebook after seeing this video↓

Okay, so you all know I have been wanting to get Godzilla out of me as quick as I can for the past few days. I saw this video today, and it just hit me that this little dude has been through a lot, and he is the one doing all the work. I'm just carrying him around. It got me thinking. If he is willing to go through ALL of this to come out, why not let him do it in his own timing? It's not like there is much I can do to speed up the process anyways, but he will come out. And when he does, all I can do is welcome him with open arms, and will never let go. So, for now, I will enjoy every blow to my ribs, every discomfort I get when I change position, my swollen feet, and how I can't walk at a normal speed like anybody else. Just for now.

I will see you in a couple weeks. And I just hope you don't come out and say, "O, man, I get HER for a mom? I wanted that other lady in the next room!!"
