Well as I get bigger and bigger the time draws near….
I am 36 weeks now and heading into the last stretch of the pregnancy…finally! Yay!! We have been working on setting up the baby’s room and getting all the things together that we will need for the homebirth and welcoming our new bundle of joy into our lives. The past few weeks have been fun in that she has been in the same position for quite a while…you can almost always feel her little bumb just above my belly button, and she doesn’t seem to have much room to move around!
We have been preparing for our homebirth and are so excited about it…our midwife is really lovely and we have even managed to get hold of a birthing pool to use as well! So that is exciting cause I have heard a lot of great things about being in water during labour and how much it helps ease the pains etc… so we’ll see how it works for us!
One of the cutest things I think is that she gets hiccups quite often these days and it feels so funny as you have little rhythmic bumps lower in your tummy…feels really interesting when you realize its another little person in there getting them!!!
To be honest I would be really happy if she came a couple weeks early, as it is getting much more uncomfortable and hard to walk around cause my feet get soooo sore cause of all the weight. Also, because we have been given 2 due dates - either the 13th of March or the 17th March, we are realizing that really, the due date is just an estimated guess, as its pretty impossible for the doctors to be completely sure in our case…and over half of all babies do come early…so we’ll see. As long as she doesn’t come before the 20th February then we are fine, and she will be fine and healthy. Anytime after that and she will be considered full term, so we would be happy if she came anytime.
Well…I am in the middle of finishing my assignment for my Nutritional Medicine course that is due in March…I have to get it done early so that if she does arrive early I am not stuck trying to juggle taking care of a newborn and writing an essay on Vitamins and your health!! hehe!!!
So I’ll make this do for now…hope you are all doing well and enjoying life!
