Here is just a pregnancy update....
Today I am 38 weeks along, and to be honest I feel every day. Went to the doctor today and got some medicine...I have been feeling very nauseous again and have had terrible insomnia. Frankly I am worried that if I were to go into labor today or tomorrow I would be too exhausted to do much about it. Other than that not much has changed...I was a little disappointed when she told me that I had not dilated more but she reassured me that since this is my 3rd baby I will probably not dilate more until the "hard labor" hits. (Hate that term, Hard Labor. I think all labor is hard.)
This has been a REALLY tough week...My neighbor from our house in Zimmerman lost her baby this weekend. She was due ONE DAY after me!!! For some reason that they still don't know between her weekly appointments her baby stopped breathing. She had to go through labor and have the baby stillborn...a seemingly healthy baby girl over 6 lbs and 19 inches. No cord around the neck, no apparent physical issues....They just don't understand it. Frankly, it scared me SHITLESS (sorry for the language but I think it fits here). I know logically that means nothing for me or my pregnancy but that logical side of me doesn't seem to matter when the emotional side gets involved. I feel so badly for her, I cannot imagine that. A miscarriage is hard enough...now she has had a miscarriage and a stillbirth and she's only 17. On top of it her brother was killed last week in a car accident. He was 21. Sometimes I don't understand life.

Wow Laura... I actually had multiple people telling me about late term problems like that at like 39 weeks- people can be SO CRUEL! Then all you can do is think about it and try to not freak yourself out over every little hiccup or cramp!
Oh...I remember you telling me about her. That's unimaginably awful. All of it. I'm so sorry for her losses.
