At our last appointment, the doctor told Abby she's likely to deliver, "Within the next two weeks."
Then, today, he said she could pop any moment. My first response was:
Holy crap, holy crap, oh shit, oh F*#k.
Wait... No... yes, holy crap.
Ok, calm down, breath.
Ok, I'm doing better now, wait ... nope, oh crap, oh shit, holy crap.
But then I though about it, and we're pretty ready. She's very tired of being pregnant, and I'm ready to play nurse for a post-op patient, getting better everyday; instead of taking care of someone slowly declining and constantly finding new depths of discomfort.
At the appointment she had put on 4 pounds since last week. Then today, she had put on another 4 pounds. As far as we can tell, it's all gone to the babies. However, her rate of growth is amazing, it feels like I can see a difference just after being at work all day.
"Oh my goodness, You're radiant!"
But, she's holding on like a champ. A prize fighter, coming up from the lowly welterweights to fight for the heavyweight belt. (I'm not sure where boxing weight classes cut off, so I hopefully didn't say she started off fat.)
