Ok, now I really feel pregnant
Yesterday I felt so big and couldn’t get comfortable in any position. I can no longer get out of bed or a chair without a routine and sleeping is so much more difficult. It was painful every time I moved or the baby kicked.
I have two weeks left until the babies ETA and I have been suffering from lots of other symptoms, but this is the first time the weight of the baby has really been an issue. I have gained around 25-30 pounds. (It is hard to tell exactly since I was on a mini-diet when I first found out I was pregnant). I am so glad that I am no longer working.
My belly does not feel as hard or extended today. I had always expected the growth of my belly to be linear, not up and down like it has been. I know a lot of the differences are due to gas and constipation, but it still is weird. Oh, that reminds me: time for my daily prune juice.
As of today, Baby is FullTerm
I had a wonderful baby shower on the weekend that my friends threw for me. I was supposed to be a surprise, but multiple people gave it away so I did know it was going to happen, which is good since otherwise I would have done more shopping. Now I am on vacation we can go and pick up the last few things that we will need (cloth diapers, baby carrier, etc…)
As of today I have only 3 weeks left which means that the baby would no longer be considered premature if it was born now. I know that nothing magical happens on these arbitrary dates, but it still feels really good. They say first babies tend to take more than 40 weeks, so why don’t they just change the average number of weeks?
I called about getting the car seat installation verifed at our local police station (division32 in Toronto). It was really hard to find information online, so here you go: call 416-808-3219 to make an appointment, the clinics are usually on Wednesdays.
I guess this blog post is rambling, but then if you are pregnant you understand
