just a quick update for memories sake 😉
midwife appointment went well today – i’m now 38 weeks along, and getting to that uncomfortable stage. i thought i was sore last week, but i forget how much it taxes you as the days go on. i took a photo of what my braxton hicks have looked like for the past few months — belly gets really high and tight on one side which is a bit weird! but they say it’s like giving the baby a little squeeze, and is practice for the real contractions. my bh have been more frequent and getting more intense, which i totally expected anyway
i’m also now on maternity leave!! i have about 3 months off this time, and Regan has some time off also — which is going to be awesome 🙂
sleeping at night has become something of a circus trick – gosh forbid that i need to roll over.. it literally will take about an hour for me to flip into a better position. i now know what it’s like for walrus’. i AM glad to report that my hands are still functional, no stiffness still and i hope it stays that way!
nothing much else to report other than it could be any day now .. Jasper arrived on his due date, but that’s no indication of anything. could be tomorrow, could be another 4 weeks (eeek!). i feel like i could definately go another 2 weeks, but then again my next post might see me begging to be induced LOL. i’ll give nature at least another 3 weeks i think, though i hope she brings me my baby, happy and healthy no matter what.
