We met yet another new midwife. I didn&#8217;t like this one. She&#8217;s the first one that I haven&#8217;t liked. Maybe it was my sour mood&#8230;yay hormones, but I really hope she isn&#8217;t on duty when we go into labor. Otherwise, the appointment went well. I measured 38 weeks, the baby&#8217;s heartbeat was good, and the baby is still in a good position. Really there&#8217;s not much more to report. We are in a constant waiting game&#8230;waiting&#8230;waiting&#8230;waiting. Please come out, baby G!<\/p>\n<p>Everyone has their predictions about when it might happen, but unfortunately, there&#8217;s just no way of knowing. I&#8217;d really like to know. I could be mentally prepared if I knew. The closer we get to the due date (4\/23) the more anxious I become. Mainly this is due to the fact that Bryan&#8217;s parents are flying in that day, and I really hope I&#8217;m not still pregnant. That would really suck!<\/p>\n<p>I still feel pretty good. I&#8217;m still working out and going about life as normal. I try my best to find things to do outside of the house with friends and Bryan to keep my mind off the fact that I&#8217;m still pregnant. It pretty much consumes my every waking moment sadly. It&#8217;s hard to think of much else. I feel huge, and I&#8217;m uncomfortable most of the time. Plus, I have a lot of contractions, but none of them are the real thing. I&#8217;m trying all of the typical stuff to get things moving, but I know that really it&#8217;ll happen when it&#8217;s ready. There&#8217;s not much we can really do. Even if we did nothing, I wouldn&#8217;t stay pregnant forever. Everyone says I won&#8217;t make it till the due date, and I really hope they&#8217;re correct. However, I&#8217;m starting to think I just might make it. It&#8217;s kinda of a stretch, but I hope the full moon that&#8217;s coming on the 17th helps if it hasn&#8217;t happened already.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is ready for baby when baby decides to make his\/her appearance. Things have been cleaned, washed, organized&#8230;you name it. The only thing missing from the nursery is a theme. We&#8217;ll wait to see which gender we&#8217;re dealing with first.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to give a guess on the baby&#8217;s stats go here and search TheBabyBean:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/expectnet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/expectnet.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And on a side note check out the latest blog post I made on my work blog:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/victoria.crossfitcp.com\/?p=14\" target=\"_blank\">Client Variety<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent Pictures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?pid=30868840&amp;l=79c73a2aed&amp;id=163200356\" target=\"_blank\">bella on me<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo.php?pid=30866204&amp;l=0124b0dc7c&amp;id=163200356\" target=\"_blank\">me<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And as always you can check out my pregnancy progression here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=2027569&amp;id=163200356&amp;l=c2847140f7\" target=\"_blank\">Pregnancy Progression<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And here are some of the shots that a few of the <a href=\"http:\/\/yellowgin.familyofgoldsteins.com\/?p=534\" target=\"_blank\">photographers<\/a> took of us:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.saraturnsphotography.com\/2011\/03\/i-had-amazing-time-in-austin.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/blog.saraturnsphotography.com\/2011\/03\/i-had-amazing-time-in-austin.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sarahjordanphoto.com\/?p=781\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.sarahjordanphoto.com\/?p=781<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amandamcneely.com\/2011\/04\/05\/bryan-victoria-crossfit-baby\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.amandamcneely.com\/2011\/04\/05\/bryan-victoria-crossfit-baby\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laurenreynoldsphotography.net\/2011\/03\/workshop-mania-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.laurenreynoldsphotography.net\/2011\/03\/workshop-mania-part-1\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re all very different, but each one is special to us.
