Lob sided belly

Sorry I have been falling behind on blogging. We have been pretty busy here lately. This past weekend to took our childbirth class. It was, well, interesting. I don't feel like I really learned any new information other than 1 in 4 women have c-sections. That is absolutely crazy!! Ryan really didn't like the mnemonic devices that they used. TACO was used to help us remember what we need to remember if my water breaks... time, amount, color, and odor. Ryan's exact words were "I really like Tacos and I don't want to think of water breaking every time I think of tacos."
There were some really strange people in this class. So needless to say Ryan spent a majority of the time making fun of them. So I had a hard time concentrating.
The first two weeks in September we have a parenting class that will teach us information on diapering, bathing, caring for the umbilical cord, and things of that nature. I think that class will be a lot more beneficial.
Other than that not much to update on. I keep on growing. I am getting more and more uncomfortable. I think she is jumping on my cervix because I occasionally get a sharp stabbing pain and my Doctor said that is my cervix. My hips have also been really achy. I am getting more uncomfortable as every day goes by. My sleep hasn't gotten any better. I have been ending up sleeping on the couch most nights. I feel bad for keeping Ryan up all night. I am either going in and out because I have to use the bathroom 12 times or I am tossing and turning, which i assure you is not an easy task when you have a basketball belly! I also tend to sleep a little better on the couch for some reason.
I am going to the doctor weekly now, but she won't be checking to see if I am dilated until next week. I also found out that she is not a fan of inducing until it is absolutely necessary. I am really not a fan of that. Considering I am sure I will have a stubborn child ( because of Ryan, not me:)) I doubt she will be coming out on time.
I have yet to take a picture of my belly but many people have been asking that I post one... so I will probably be posting a picture of my growing basketball belly soon.
Oh! I almost forgot. I don't have a perfectly round belly. Poindextress has found a liking with my left side and is all on that side. it is obvious if you look at my stomach head on that she on that one side. I think it is her butt because I feel her on my right side close to my hip, so i think she is laying at an angle. That is all for now.
I hope you all have a fabulous week!
