I'm 9 months pregnant. That is something no one tells little girls when they're growing up & day dreaming about marrying Price Charming & having charming little babies... That it doesn't take 9 months to have a baby, it takes 10. And that extra 4 weeks... hoy vey!
34 Weeks
This is a horrible picture, BUT that is what I actually look like when I move... I have to make that face & the accompanying grunt, or the other pregnant women would ostracize me!
35 weeks pregnant 
36 Weeks
At my 36 week appointment I was 1cm dilated & 30% effaced; and way too close to 200 pounds! Only 6 of which is Baby Boris! I've finished the Halloween Candy, but the Christmas cookies are kicking my butt! The babe is about 20.7 inches long from curly little head to wrinkled little toe.
He's finally flopped head-down & is ready for delivery... well, mostly. He hasn't dropped yet, but I am hoping that happens this week.
The doctor said at my 35 week appointment, and the physician's assistant repeated last week, that if we want to have this baby sometime in December, D & I need to "get busy"... Not busy fixing up the nursery, or busy sewing curtains, or even busy buying diapers. The other kind of "busy"... Again with the hoy vey! I told her "but I'm not due until January!?!!" And she said, "Well, not every day, but a lot."
Doesn't she know that Daddy D doesn't have any vacation until after the new year and I have 2 weeks of house guests on their way for Christmas & New Years; I can't fit another body in this chilly little house until at least January 3...
But then I changed my mind... A doctor should NEVER tell a fat pregnant lady that she could deliver early & get a tax deduction (she actually mentioned the deduction). Cause now, I want to. I was fine waiting until January 7, I was actually prepared for January 15... but now, now I'm all about a December 31 baby. Kinda like a bloody ball drop (SO, inappropriate, but too amusing not to actually post). I don't even know what a tax deduction is; I'm not sure TurboTax EZ can even do those... hoy vey.
Alright, I am done for now. I'm back to the doctor tomorrow morning and I'm hoping for 2cm dilated & at least 35% effaced. I want to get as much of this done on my own so the good doctor doesn't have the chance to induce me...
