I waddle. I like to think that it is more of
a sashay, as I do have quite the sense of humor about my pregnancies. But once
the rose colored glasses come off I am forced to come to the realization that
my walk is no sassy sashay, but a full blown waddle.

Baby Development:
Baby Julia should now
weigh about 4 3/4 pounds and be almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers are
filling out, making her rounder and ready for cuddles and snuggle once she is
born. Her skin is also smoother. Her central nervous system is maturing and her
lungs are continuing to mature as well.
Symptoms:
Nap time has become nap time for EVERYONE in my
home. I have been taking regular naps with the kids. I have also started to try
and stay off my feet a bit more as I have started to swell more.
Julia is keeping me up at night with her constant
moving and pressure.
Currently craving:
Fruit.

Nothing.

In
Movement:
Although
she is getting bigger, she has not run out of room for summersaults and full
blown rolling. She likes to flip around a lot!

the doctor this week and all is still going well. I see her again in two weeks
and then we will be seeing each other weekly until Julia comes.

Other:
I am
looking at my calendar wondering where the time has gone. While I know I have
been pregnant for 34+ weeks, it feels like yesterday that I found out the good
news. This pregnancy has flown by! But we have also been incredibly busy with
our little home reno project. I just hope we will be done before Julia comes.
My
husband thinks that I am crazy for getting a little stressed out about not
feeling ready for Julia’s arrival. But with both of the boys I felt prepared. I
had my hospital bag packed and a place for them to come home to from the
hospital. While I have washed Julia’s clothing and her blankets and sheets, I
have not bought a single diaper and I have not packed my hospital bag yet! I
feel like my home is in such upheaval that we aren’t ready to bring a newborn
into the chaos. I have to keep telling myself to LET GO! What will happen will
happen and I need to be able to go with it. – I am a work in progress.
Did
you stress out before baby came?
