39 weeks tomorrow. My dear beautiful baby is still inside me. I have the hugest belly in the whole world. I swear - this is just unbelievable. I have been asked twice in the last two days if I am carrying twins. No, it's only one baby. I am not sure if they believe me or not. But I understand. My belly is huge. And it's heavy. Quite heavy. I wake up with a lot of energy and feeling fine. But I do get tired quickly, as I have said before, and after 4:00 pm everything starts hurting. My back, my legs, my lower abdomen, etc., etc. EVERYTHING. These weird pains that wrap the middle part of my body...
Nevertheless, I had a great Sunday. D drove me to a Christmas tree farm about 45 min outside of Austin. I wanted to have my tree ready, I wanted a natural tree, and I wanted it today. So there we went. It was quite fun! We walked among the trees, we chose our tree, D cut the tree himself and now it's here in our living room - with lights, and ornaments, and everything else. All this in one day. Of course, I overdid it, and now I am paying the price... Can't move and I will be going to bed in 30 minutes. Everything is fine if I stay sitting here in this sofa with the 100 pillows supporting my back and my behind... but just wait until I have to stand up. It is just an excruciating pain as my legs and lower back realize that they have to hold me and walk me to the bathroom. It's a little bit scary. If it hurts like this now how much is labor going to hurt?
Due date is Dec 1st. We never thought I was going to make it this far. Not my doctor, not my mother, not me. But here I am. Still pregnant.

La verdad es que las primerizas siempre se adelantan no? Bueno, ni modo, algunos bebes no quieren salir, creo que es que la fiesta adentro es mejor que la de afuera ;)
Ojala todo salga chevere en el parto. Mucha suerte!
