So we're nearing the end of this life-forming journey... and the weeks are just dragging on ever so slowly. The first 7mths just seemed to have flown and was gone without even blinking... now it's like watching paint dry. Maybe its got something to do with me feeling so uncomfortable and sore. X likes to dig under my ribs and make himself all nice and cosy in there - it certainly isnt cosy for me :( The pressure of his head makes it hard to walk and my stomach is enormous i can barely get near the sink to wash dishes. I look freaking huge! Esp since i'm only 5ft 1, so my belly can only grow out lol Now sleeping... what the heck is that? I'm awake every hour or so, just to move my body pillow and roll over, its such a task lol
I finally got to see the Dr last week and discuss my concerns about having a big baby naturally and tearing again as badly (or worse) like when i had Kailee. Thankfully she was understanding and has ordered an ultrasound to check how big this little man is already, and then discuss my options for birth - natural or c section. Either way, i keep reminding myself he's going to get out one way or another, whether i push him out or he gets cut out. He can't live in my tummy forever, thank goodness :) So i can't wait for my ultrasound on Monday (7th Sept) to get a peek at my little man again, and see how he's growing. I'll also ask for them to double check the sex - tho i'm pretty darn sure its a boy (based on my 19wk u/s, dream i had at the beginning of my pregnancy, timing of sex in relation to ovulation etc).
Kailee is getting so excited about meeting her little brother. She's already pushing her dolls around in his pram, wrapping them in his little baby blankets :) Tonite she was even singing nursery rhymes to X in my belly, and he was kicking - which she got to see, it was adorable!!But, until next time.... i'm off to bed to try and sleep. My folks are moving house this week, so i'm gonna help pack stuff and keep mum company while she does the hard work :) I'll post updates after i've had my scan and spoken to the dr next week - i can't wait!!
As a parting gift - here's my belly pic taken last week @ 32wks. Can u say HUGE?!?
You look great Jesse - and I really like the print on your top!
