Slightly Discouraged

1.9.09 004

Last Monday at my prenatal, my doula was asking me how far along I was. I told her I didn’t know and had lost track somewhere in the 20s. My midwife looked down at her papers and said… “You are 31 weeks and 5 days.” Woo, I couldn’t believe I was that far already. It made it feel right around the corner. Once the 30s are hit it seems like the end is in site. The next few days I was feeling happy that it had gone so fast. Maybe I’ll loose track of my weeks more often.

Last night Jer asked me how far I was and I said “32 weeks.” He immediately said “NO, you are more like 29 weeks.” He then proceeded to bust out the Excel spreadsheet to confirm that I was only 29 weeks. When he told me, I had to get out my own calendar to count. Yup. I’m only 29. I’m not sure how my midwife messed up but all of the sudden I wanted to cry. I had just lost 3 weeks to my pregnancy. Bummer.

    I did that once. It’s the worst. Funny how with your first you always know how far along you are to the minute than as more kids come you have no idea how pregnant you are.

    Aww… I’m sorry you lost 3 weeks, but I love your baby bump! ;)

    Oh man. I feel for you. Give it good to your doula. They shouldn’t be allowed to mess up – ever! Dealing with rampant pregnant hormones and all. If it makes you feel any better (which I’m sure it won’t) I’m only 26 weeks.

    Would you cut it out with your cute little pregnant figure! You’re making everyone else look bad! Cute picture! Wish I was there with the family.

    That stinks! But at least you look super cute, even at 29 weeks pregnant!

    Ughh, that can be the worst. But really, you should relish in how cute the prego belly is of yours.

    That IS a cute baby bump, Moo.

    Just think, you’ll probably have your baby before I have mine at the rate I’m going.

    You should see my ankles! Holy moley! I’ve never had pregnancy swelling before, and my goodness…

    Losing weeks would kill my life-mojo. I’m 32 and 3. I know what you mean about finally feeling like you’re getting somewhere. If I had to go back to 29 weeks- I’d cry.
