| this pic turned out a little wild - but I like it!! Here I am at 36 weeks. What is bigger than a basketball? A watermelon? Dear God. |
I haven't mentioned this...but I have to now...because I will be MIA for the next few days. I have to take my freakin' BOARDS next week. In Philadelphia. Pretty much against my Obstetrician's recommendations, as it will be farther than one hour away from my hospital and I will be past the 35 week mark. She understands why I have to go - but she isn't thrilled about it.
Neither am I. This is totally not ideal.
But I have to take the boards...they only offer it twice per year (and the next time is when our baby will only be a month or so old...and I KNOW I won't have much studying time, or sleep time, to prepare for that. Not that my crazy nutso schedule has led much time for study this time around either. *Sigh* Life has been crazy.
Needless to say, we have mapped out a couple of hospitals in the Philadelphia area so if I go into labor we kinda know where to go.. Our hospital bags are packed just in case...and our carseat is loaded and locked into place.

| It really does look like a big watermelon from the side...and seriously...I just love it!!! It sticks SO FAR OUT of my white coat that I am just amazed whenever I catch a glimpse of myself walking next to a big mirror or reflective surface at the hospital. These bodies we've been give are soooooooo amazing. Also...I've noticed that I wear a LOT of black and white |
I will be gone until then...vowing to not blog or ANYTHING until my test is over next week. Prayers would certainly be appreciated....if only to calm my heart. :-) Oh...and to pass my boards of course.
*btw: I always post pictures from last week...so this week I'm actually 37 weeks...which is FULL TERM!! When I sit for me boards I will be 38 weeks...and can literally have her at any minute!! Can you hear the shrill in my voice? I'm more than freakin'. Baby and boards. What have I gotten myself into!?
You are never one to do things the easy way, my dear. I am holding you in my thoughts and close to my heart.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck and skill on your boards. Breathe. Relax. You'll do fine.
Note to Baby: It's nice and warm where you are and it's cold outside. We're looking forward to seeing you but don't be in too big of a hurry to arrive.
Oh boy. Wishing you all the best and that you get the boards done before the baby comes. What an exciting time....
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your boards!! I'll pray she lets you finish your test!
ReplyDeleteWow that is cutting it close! That really sucks that they only have these tests available to do only twice a year!
ReplyDeleteGood luck while your writing them and hopefully you wont go into labor before or during the test. (if it happens during they should just pass you! )
Hi~ I have been following your blog for the past one month and I must say that I have really enjoyed it. I just want to wish you the best luck with your test, your baby, and everything =)
ReplyDeleteGood lucky lady!!! Well wishes your way! For all accounts! :)
ReplyDeleteDang girl that is insane! I can't believe that you've got something that huge going on when you're about to pop! Best wishes and crossing my fingers that you can get through those tests without having a baby in the middle of them! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy sis-in-law took the bar exam right around her due date. She had the baby the next day! You and her are a special kind of tough. good luck! You'll be so glad you took it already when she's a month old and you aren't having to head out to take a test.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, girl!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that everything will be fine, I have no worries that you will pass your boards, and baby sits still in the operating room, right? She'll do the same for your test!
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK!
ReplyDeleteYou look completely gorgeous. The most perfect pregnant belly! Good luck lovely lady and fingers crossed that little bub of yours behaves and stays inside long enough for you to get the boards out of the way! xx
ReplyDeleteI love way your milestones pile up together: graduation/ wedding; now boards/ baby birth. Best of luck! You have a huge cheering section here.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do well on your boards! As much as I can't wait to hear about your delivery and seeing a sweet little babe, I hope she waits until your boards are finished! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteJeez Louise! You're one of the strongest, toughest, bravest women I know. I'll be sending good thoughts your way next week. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck lady! You will do great!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture has a definite retro vibe to it.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on the boards! I know with 100% certainty that you are going to pass with flying colors.
