Sham-Wow!

With just under a month left to go, pregnancy is wearing on me a little. For some reason I just feel so much more cumbersome than I remember feeling with Caden. Sunday morning as we were getting ready for church our conversation went a little something like this:

Ryan: Whats the matter?
Me: I'm tired of feeling and looking like Shamu the Whale.
Ryan: You don't look like Shamu, you're like.... Sham-Wow!
Me: (Laughing) What?
Ryan: Yeah, you know. Holds 5 times its weight and looks great.
Me: Are you saying I look 5 times bigger than before?
Ryan: Hey, don't twist my words!

I guess we don't pay close enough attention to the infomercial, because the Sham-wow really holds 12 times its weight (shamwow.com). Here's hoping this baby comes long before I reach that point of saturation.

I had another midwife appointment today. Baby is head down and has dropped. All other indicators are still good. I'm also dilated to a 2 and 75% effaced. With Caden I was dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced 4 weeks before he was born, so I don't feel like labor is imminent. I do, however, feel like its a good sign that I'm really coming down the final stretch.
