38 weeks

At 38 weeks I'm craving soda pop and beer.
Yes, beer (doesn't mean I'm drinking it though).

My appetite has calmed down a lot but if I stay up late I turn into a PB&J munching maniac- consuming at least 2 sandwiches in the matter of minutes with room for more.

Down to the nitty gritty.

Let's face it: I'm focusing on blogging about my pregnancy right now and pregnancy ain't always pretty so here goes...

I have hemorrhoids for the first time in my life.

I keep hearing that this is a good sign because it means that labor is close but I can't bear the thought of trying to push a baby out myself while my bum is in such a terrible state.

I went to the ER just a few minutes after ringing in the new year but everything is fine I guess. 

I had a yucky heavy headache for almost a week straight and was having a couple of other signs of pre-eclampsia. My tests have all come back clean and my blood pressure is perfect... just a headache.

Oh my.

Hemorrhoids. Why?
