I'm so excited to meet this little girl... to watch my son become a big brother... to see how my family evolves from 3 to 4. I've been a little weepy this week thinking about all the amazing things ahead and saying goodbye to the things that will no longer be; the movements of a child inside me... the time my boy was an "only".
I want to thank all of you that have followed along on this preggo journey with me. You've all been such a support. xoxo
Catch you on the flip side - MOTHER OF TWO!
Stats:
Weeks pregnant: 38
Time left: 5 SLEEPS!
Weight gained to date: 19.5 lbs total
Gender: girl
Baby's approx. length: Supposed to be 20" long...
Baby's approx. weight: Supposed to be about 7 pounds... Doc thinks she's over 8lbs. Eeep!
Veg/fruit size comparison: watermelon
Cravings this week: tortilla chips dipped in refried beans and sour cream.
Movement: Stretching pushing and rolling movements. It feels like it's pretty cramped in there... especially at night... Oy... the nights are getting brutal. I've started sleeping in the lazy boy.
Chicken's name suggestion this week: "Fire Elastic Man". It really does have a certain ring to it.
I know lovey, it's a sad/happy time, and you're uncomfortable.. Weep it up, it's a grieving of an experience that makes you feel the most alive, creating life. Stay rested, preparing for the next chapter of parenting, and give Chicken all the hugs and special time you can this week. All my love! Looking forward to seeing you on the other side ;)
