Pregnancy Update
Well, I have 7 weeks left and I'm starting to feel it!
The hot weather probably isn't helping. Going up the stairs is starting to wear me out, never mind going on errands!!
My kids are in swimming lessons right now. I go in the pool to help my 4yr old while the teacher works with the older ones and then we switch off. So, I get a nice dip in a refreshing pool every day. I can't complain about that!
I've only gained about 23 pounds! I feel like I can eat ice-cream guilt free!
I've felt more emotional lately too. I guess it doesn't help when you go shopping for nursing bras and you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror! I don't know why they don't use more flattering lights in stores!?
I did buy some new pajamas for the hospital. That's one thing I always do before I have a baby. I buy something new and comfy, in a size larger than I usually am(because we all know that you don't 'shrink' right away!), that I can wear when people come to visit. I pack it in my bag and don't wear it till after the baby is born. Those hospital gowns just aren't flattering!
I also buy some new fruity soap for that first shower.
After giving birth, it's a nice pick-me-up.
I had a check-up today and the doctor said that the baby was posterior. I sure hope it moves before labour, so I don't have the added back pain! I had that with one of my babies already. He was posterior for the whole last month of the pregnancy and it made even walking difficult!
So, that's where I'm at.
Probably next week I'll start airing out the 'newborn' baby clothes...oh, the little sleepers and the itty-bitty socks!
