I can't believe that there is only about 2 and a half months left before we get to finally meet this little girl. Clearly she is ready to get out as well....she practically never stops moving around! Even as I type this she is doing some weirdo gymnastics or something in my stomach. I would say I have gotten used to it by now....but sometimes it just feels so strange or the movement is really big or I can see my stomach moving all around.
I don't really have too much to complain about, health wise, for this pregnancy. I never threw up, haven't been put on any kind of bed rest, the doctor always says things look great when I have an appointment. I do feel like I have been tired every day of it though. I have had some periodic killer heartburn (like all last night...I guess a volcano erupted in my chest cause it felt like lava in my throat for hours) and times when I feel more swollen than others (not wearing any of my rings right now, even took off the toe ring...but most days are fine) and I feel pretty giant all around but I know that some expectant mothers have it way worse than I have these last 30 weeks. I haven't even really had any major cravings (maybe I have been a little pickier with food than usual) and the most that Michael has had to get for me in the middle of the night is Tums (and from the closet, not the store). I hope there isn't some saying that if you had a great pregnancy you'll have a horrible labor, haha.
Michael and I go to our "birthing essentials" class this Saturday. Should be interesting....hopefully Michael won't spend the next 10 weeks in terror of the event of labor, haha. I am sure it won't be a picnic but at this point I am ready to just get on with it, so she can be here with us.
A couple of weeks ago we had some 3D shots of our girl taken....here are just a few:
Sleepy Girl
Little smile for Mommy and Daddy
And then she was done!She didn't want to move around much the whole time, even when I changed into different (uncomfortable) positions. But we did get some cute shots of her face...the technology is so amazing, that we can see her so clearly well before she gets here. She already has chubby cheeks and I think she has her Daddy's mouth. :-)
The next 10 weeks will be full of getting the baby's room ready and preparing for this little one to get here....should be exciting and I bet will go by far faster than I think it will!
She is adorable! I didn't get to have any 3D ultrasounds with either of mine. So neat! Good luck with the last 10 weeks. More then likely the next 6 will fly by and the last 4 will seem like the longest 4 weeks of your life!
ReplyDeleteWell, as you may remember, in my experience, a great pregnancy meant an okay labor and a TERRIBLE delivery. But, it also meant a really great recovery, which I was actually more worried about than the actual labor/delivery. So, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have had friends who have had a great everything, so you might get lucky :-). My niece sure is cute!! I think she looks like her favorite aunt! Ha, just kidding.
