I think I am having the spawn of Andre the Giant

Seriously...

This baby is HUGE and kicking my butt on a regular basis. I really think he is doing jumping jacks in there.

Ok, so I went to my 33 week appointment and sonogram today. I thought I was going to schedule my c-section but no exact date yet. It's supposedly going to be January 25th or 26th...I pushed for the week before but everyone quickly told me no way. Hey, I can hope can't I? It hurts damnit!

While the sonogram lady was doing her sonogram thing I noticed she was scanning one thing over and over again. She did it about 8 times, so I was getting a little concerned and asked her what was going on. She asked me if Gage was a large baby, which he was good size..8lbs 7 3/4oz., 21 in long...and a big ole head(seriously, it was 38 cm.). I told her and she said to me.."Oh ok..well it looks like you are headed in that direction again." Wonderful. I knew I had a giant in there! I'm 33 weeks and the baby is measuring at 35 1/2 weeks. He already weighs over 5 pounds! It's a good thing they are delivering at 39 weeks because if not I'd have a 15 pounder. I've still only gained 9 pounds, which is good but he must be a little hog. I'm glad I'm not breast feeding!

So, Gage started preschool this past Monday..sniffle...

He did GREAT on Monday and Tuesday. He got on the bus and was all for it, I was even told he had a good first two days. Then it happened. This poor kid has my immune system, by Wednesday morning he had a fever and was like a limp noodle. So I kept him home and ended up keeping him Thursday too. By Friday, I figured I should try to send him again. This time he wasn't so into it and when I say not so into it I mean that even mentioning the word school made him cry. I should have taken this as a sign that he still wasn't feeling well but nope, I sent him. He gave me a look on the bus like I just ripped his heart out and pooped on it. I ended up picking him up early and it was a pathetic sight let me tell you. I got there at lunch time and he was sitting at the end of the table, runny nose, red eyes and whimpering. He saw me and my mother walk in and it was like we had a basket of candy, rainbows and gold there for him. He got up and just hugged me, hard. I half thought he was trying to choke me for sending him to school in the first place...either that or he was just that happy to see me. I prefer to believe the last one. The poor kid is still sick and didn't go today and won't be going tomorrow. Luckily he has vacation until the 4th after Tuesday but out of a total of 7 days of school he made it to roughly 2 1/2. I hate that he missed speech but hopefully it won't mess him up too much. I have pictures of the first week but I'm feeling lazy right now so I'll post them later.

Right now all I want is a taco and some sleep....anyone care to give me either of those? I've been good all year!
