35 weeks
We’re getting close! I am definitely starting to feel more and more uncomfortable. It’s funny, for a few days I’ll feel so much tightness and pressure I think I’m going to just burst, and then after a while it seems my skin stretches out and all of a sudden I am big enough to hold this baby again. But during those few days, it’s tough. I actually had a dream that I was giving birth and a full sized man came out! (It was actually Matt Greco, for those of you who know him. Super random. I love whacko dreams!)
This past weekend my aunt & grandma came to visit for my San Francisco bridal shower! It was so lovely, and I loved showing them off to my friends and vice-versa. Everyone brought children’s books so we now have a decent sized library collection of books other than “Leaves of Grass”, “Jesus and Buddha as Brothers” and “The Cast Iron Cookbook”. Not that she won’t enjoy those one day, but maybe not just yet. :)
My doctor appointments are weekly now, and are much more “in depth” to see how far I’m cloming along. So far, everything is completely shut so I guess that’s a good sign! I’m measuring right on schedule and have gained 25 big ones. I’m not really swollen at all (my wedding band still flies off if I shake my hand really hard), and still no stretch marks. I thankmy ancestors for that!
I realized the other day that the baby’s due date will be a full moon! That is really exciting to me for some reason. I’ve been told that more babies are born on full moons than not, so I’m betting she’ll arrive exactly on schedule. (If I win, you all owe me yankee dimes).
Outside of my little world, this weekend has been such a fairy tale. There was a Royal Wedding for everyone to get swept up in, and at the very end they killed the bad guy they’ve been after for 10 years. Let’s just say I cried a lot.
