Thanks to every one who supported me in my last blog entry. I really appreciate it and feel much better now. I’m so over Daddy and I’m so over negativity that I kinda want to just delete that entry and forget about every thing .. but I’ll leave it. I know some times it can seem that every one in the blogosphere is peaches and cream compared to my situation or how I may feel, so maybe it will be beneficial to someone else in the future to read what I wrote and what I went through with Daddy.
……………………………..
I went to the doctor on Thursday. Gah, I’m so close. 30 weeks in! He said me and JackJack are perfectly healthy, but warned me that my uterus is extended so that means Jack is a big baby and he’s looking to be about 8 lbs come delivery time. As if I wasn’t scared enough he had to tell me that. I told him how afraid I am and how worse hearing that made everything. He tried to comfort me by telling me it won’t be too bad and that he’ll take good care of me.
That’s nice, but still. Easy for him to say because he does have to push a chubster baby out of his body! Ugggh. I’m horrified. I don’t know what I’m going to do when the time comes. I guess I have no choice. What can I do but push him out? 
In the end I’ll have my amazing little gift that I can’t wait to hold and kiss. I try to look forward to that and only think about that.

I mentioned moving before, but gave little details. I was going to try to hurry and move out of my little studio because my apartment complex currently has large one bedrooms on sale for $417 a month which is an amazing bargain. They said I could move now, but that I had to be out within 30 days, I had to pay a $200 fee for moving early and then put down $150 deposit on the new apartment.
At first I was all about it, but then I realized that’s just not enough time to move and $350 is too much money just to give away when my lease is up in 3 months anyway. So hopefully when my lease is up they will still have a good bargain for me, if not maybe someone else will. Wish me luck!
I’m still going to start packing some now. It’s 90 days early but I wanna get this shit done. Especially before little man gets here because I’m not sure I would have the time!

Definitely do some packing now before it gets too uncomfortable to move around like that!
And, to give you a little more comfort about giving birth… Anna was 8 lbs, and I pushed her out easily. (Well, nothing about labor and delivery is that easy, although the pushing stage was definitely the least painful part for me) I've also talked to moms who pushed out 9-10 lb babies, so 8 lbs is small compared to that!

My doctor told me that it's easier to push out a larger baby than a tiny one because a larger one works with you when you're pushing and a smaller one works against you so it takes longer – hope that helps!
$417 a month!? If I could take that I would take it in a heartbeat.
Then we could be neighbours
And I wouldn't be paying $1300/month + utilities.. with no job.. lol
So jealous!

Definitely do what you can now. Then find some one in your support circle who will help you do everything else when the time comes. Newborns sleep alot – so you'll have some time to do things. But do keep in mind not too push yourself too far after he's been born – you'll need alot of sleep too!

Yeah Oklahoma is a pretty cheap state and decent to raise a baby in! There are some expensive "luxury" apartments that'll cost you about $700-1k for a one bedroom, but most regular apartments are about $450-500 for one. $600-700 for a 2 bedroom.
It would be hella cool if you were able to be my neighbor!

$1300/month?! Holy crap! I think the average apartment price around my area of MI is $700-800.
Best rent = student apartments. Too loud for raising a kid (and the management probably wouldn't let me live there anyway), but before I was pregnant, my roommates and I were paying $260/month.

I really hope it's not so bad! I was nearly 10 lbs when I was born and my mom has always told me how horrible it was, how she ripped and lost a lot of blood.
I pray to God the same thing doesn't happen to me with my son! But, fearfully, I'm almost betting that (TMI) if it rips easily during sex that there's no way it's going to survive a child lol

Actually 8 lbs isn't too big at all. I'm beginning to wonder if it's the norm. Am was 8 lbs, 1 oz and I had no trouble at all. As Lauren said, 10 lbs is more on the large side if anything. One tip- you can try applying a warm washcloth before pushing the head to reduce the chances of needing stitches. I did that and was able to deliver mine without needing any.
