9 months!!!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 5/5/10 also marks me being pregnant for nine months! I can't believe that I'm already here, time is whizzing by so fast. The little man has to bake for at least one more week for him to be out of the preemie range. However, I haven't felt any contractions yet, and I'm no where near dilated. But, getting around has been hard lately, my center of gravity is all out of whack!

Nick and I did a mini portrait session this past weekend to mark our journey of pregnancy. It's been long and difficult, with plenty of challenges, but we know in the end it'll all be worth it. There were a couple of additional ideas for the portrait, but I got tired quick. Although I had a nice long cable release to take the photos, I still had to run back and forth to check the images. It was kind of tricky. If we're up to it in the next couple of weeks, we may do the other ideas we had, they're really silly and fun, but we'll see how these last couple of weeks go. The little guy is going to be so tired of me taking photos all the time, but I may be too tired to take them. HA! We'll see!

As I approach the end of my pregnancy, I'm becoming a familiar face at the hospital. Especially this week! I don't think bambino likes all the monitoring, but it has to be done. He's been doing excellent in the NST tests, moving and kicking around like a healthy baby. The sonograms have been a little bit more difficult. They are time consuming, and he always moves into a position that makes it difficult for the tech. It's like he knows! So far, my fluids have been measuring ok, and his kidneys are ok, but I have to ask the doc to make sure. I still have to find a pediatrician for him, and sort out the whole not having health insurance thing and how he falls into it. But the count down definitely begins! If I do have an induction, there are only about 20 days left. EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!
