A little update on us: I've been having some painful contractions here and there, but nothing regular or too painful. Mainly just a lot of braxton hicks. I can't decide if I think she is going to come early or not.. we'll see once we get a little closer to D-day! I've gained 20lbs so far. Not horrible, but I'm not jumping for joy yet as we do still have 9 weeks left to grow...and because I physically can't.. My appetite has gone down a lot! I starve no matter what I eat early in the day, then by the time dinner comes, I'm so uncomfortable, food is the last thing on my mind!
Over the last 3 weeks or so, my pelvic bone pops in and out of place a million times a day. Imagine if you cracked your knuckles every time your fingers moved.. that's pretty much what happens anytime I walk, try to get up or roll over in bed. Not the most comfortable thing in the world. I literally can't walk upright for the first 10 minutes of everyday because it's so sore from popping throughout the night. Oh, you can actually *hear* the popping, too.. It's lovely :)
Baby girl has been more active then ever the last week or so. She's always been pretty laid back and has a "calm" about her, she's just rolling more now and getting bigger, so I guess I'm feeling it more. I love all the distorted shapes she makes my belly at night!
All joking and complaining aside, I've been so blessed to get to carry another child, and I wouldn't change that for anything in this world. Tommy and I can not wait to meet her. What a blessing children are!
