33 Week Pregnancy Update

Well, I have 7 weeks to go, and I'm counting down!  I'm starting to feel uncomfortable and uncomfortably huge.  It's getting harder and harder for me to do the things I normally do.  Here are some of my recent experiences:
  • I finally broke down and got a pedicure this past weekend.  I can no longer reach my toes.  However, I realized that I need to go with a friend.  Since I'm not a regular, I get too stressed out because I don't know what to do, and I can't understand the ladies.  I wonder if they think I should be able to understand them better since I'm Asian...
  • My maternity clothes are starting to get snug.  I didn't realize this would happen.  I thought maternity clothes would stretch.  I wish I had bought larger jeans... my thighs have grown with my stomach.
  • At my appointment yesterday, the doctor said she thought Baby Ali is in a breeched position, meaning I may have to have a scheduled C-section if she doesn't turn.  A sweet girl a work told me about some yoga positions I could do to help her turn such as getting on all fours and rounding my back.  I think Todd thought I was crazy when he saw me on the floor on all fours.  After some internet research (what did we do before internet!), I found out I can also do headstands in a pool to help her turn.  Not sure that's a good idea for me...
  • I keep saying that I'm ready for her to come because I'm tired of being huge and pregnant, but when people ask me specific questions, I realize that I'm really not ready.  For inquiring minds:
    • No, I have not finished decorating the nursery.  It's not even close.  The walls are painted, the glider is done, the furniture has been delivered, but the crib has a big crack in the headboard, so the manufacturer is sending us a new headboard.  But her closet looks great.
    • No, I have not packed my hospital bag.
    • No, we have not completed our prenatal classes at the hospital. 
    • No, the car seats are not in our car yet, but yes, we do have them.
    • No, we have not finished returning registry duplicates and finished purchasing all the things we do need.
Have a good week/weekend!
