38 Weeks!


Well I didn't anticipate we would be at 38 weeks so quickly but there was a change in the due date. I guess from having 3 different doctors & having the ultrasounds done it wasn't caught until last week. We are currently at 1 week & 2 days left until our new due date! The feeling that I constantly have these days is butterflies. I go to bed every night wondering "will she come tonight?" Then I wake in the morning to ask myself the same question. The waiting period is hard especially when you are nocturnal. I've never in my life had an issue with sleeping until about the past 2 months. Nobody warned me about that... That's okay though, I have had a few weeks off to enjoy some "me" time. Which was much needed.  Feeling anxious about labour as I'm sure that's normal. How bad is the pain? Will it really be as bad as everyone makes it out to be? It's the fear of the unknown.... All worth it in the end to meet our girl. 

The baby wasn't quite in the right position as of the doctors appointment yesterday. We have another check-up next week to see where she's at. She is the size of a watermelon right now & don't I know it! I can thankfully say most of my clothes fit up until last week. Thank goodness! She's weighing in at approximately 6.5 lbs & between 19-22 inches long. Funny to look back to around 18 weeks, I thought I had a "big bump" then! I can't wait to see her face for the very first time & hold her. We are ready to meet you sweet girl! Wishing you a safe entrance into this beautiful world. 

I don't have a lot of photos but a bathroom selfie will have to do for now:

27 Weeks!


We have now hit the third trimester! Hooray! This feels like an exciting time. Feeling great (no more puking), finally looking pregnant & everything is setting in that I will soon be a "mom" (still is hard to believe at times) Actually just last week I had the moment where I realized it's really all happening. Hard to believe I have only 2 months left of work then I will be on maternity leave & next thing you know I will be holding this baby girl in my arms.

Everything is still going well with the pregnancy. The usual visits with the Doctor every 3 weeks. My stomach seems to be growing by the day. It's now quite firm & finding that clothes aren't fitting like they used to (thank goodness for Old Navy & Thyme Maternity). Baby girl is so active during the day. I swear she is doing somersaults in there. Makes me happy when I can feel her moving around all day. She's the size of a cauliflower, unreal. I'm still sleeping well but noticing is much harder to roll over during the night, could be the massive tummy I have now ;) Finn already loves baby girl. He lays on my stomach in the evening. Precious! Starting to do yoga again. Found some great articles on prenatal yoga. Also considering taking a prenatal Pilates class. It is true what people say, pregnant ladies do love their ice cream. Can't seem to get enough of it these days!
