So, tomorrow is 39 weeks. Eek.Yesterday, I thought it would be a great idea to hit the superstore up to finish shopping for our nieces/nephews, plus we needed baking supplies for goodie boxes, and some groceries too.
Yeah, that probably wasn't my brightest idea.
I have issues with my back, I think mostly because I have fairly bad scoliosis and partly from some other undiagnosed reason (long story, but I have some issues with spinal nerve inflammation). So I went shopping, and now my back is acting up really bad. I've taken Ty.len.ol, soaked in the tub, and I'm just trying to take it easy... but man, it HURTS.
Also, fighting your way through holiday shoppers while 9 months pregnant? Hahaha. What was I thinking? Oh, I remember, I figured, "Hey, it's Thursday night and going this weekend would be STUPID. So I'll just get it done today, there should be less shoppers..." and maybe there were, but honestly that didn't make a huge difference, because there was still A LOT of them out in force.
Also, I wish that stupid store had more places throughout where I could have sat down to take a quick break from standing. OMG, seriously. There was the shoe department, but it was out of the way and I was not going to fight my way through people to sit down for a minute. I just wanted to get the shopping over with!
Okay, so maybe I was trying to tempt the universe a little. I was like, "Hey, this baby needs to come out. So if I make plans and such, the universe is bound to mock me and make me go into labor. Plus all that walking can't hurt progression, right?"
So I went shopping, I went to the dentist this morning to get my cavity filled, then I made plans to bake goodies tonight, I decided to do holiday rounds tomorrow since we don't know if we can go them next weekend, and... yeah. I think all I'm going to do is wear myself out!
I did get all 10 nieces/nephews presents taken care of though. And I have stuff for baking goodies... I really want to make fudge... yum. Also, my tooth will hopefully not hurt so much now; I actually probably saved it, the cavity was really deep and I lost pretty much the entire corner of that tooth. Ugh. Soooo, I have accomplished something at least.
I really wish my mouth was less numb right now... I really want to eat lunch. Yes, that was totally random.

what an adorable baby bump you have! congratulations on being 39 weeks! Not long now!
I applaud you for doing all you're doing at 39 weeks! I would NOT want to go anywhere, let alone walk, at 39 weeks!
Sorry about your cavity. I know your pain too well. I need to go to the dentist! :( I just don't like needles.
I think holiday shopping is overwhelming and tiring .... I can't believe you are 39 weeks! It could seriously be any day now : )
Its so nice to see your abdomen swollen with child.
Okay not going to judge you as I would probably end up doing the same but my fear would be giving birth at the mall!
Hopefully soon you deliver your son.
Are you sure it's not back labor starting?? It's one heck of a discomfort......
I feel like you are going to have the baby soon boo. I am so excited for you and think of you often! We went to the mall yesterday and my ankles are killing me. Especially Lefty. UGH.
Bump looks great! Hope your back feels better soon! Alternate ice pack and heating pad...
Holy shit...I'm not pregnant ad reading that exhausts me. Remember to take a break and breathe.
First, I just want to say that your bump is BEAUTIFUL! I know when you started out in this new adventure, you could not yet see where your journey has taken you. But here you are, mere days (okay, maybe a week or so) from a new adventure! So exciting! Now, as far as your busy self, I'm exhausted reading all that you did! The back pain could be back labor...that would be exciting, get the baby moving faster! Sit down, breathe, relax, and get ready for the new adventure!
