Wow! Are we getting down to the wire or what?! The first picture was taken on Tuesday, which marked our 38th week. I don't feel too much bigger, and I've only gained a pound in the last 2 weeks, but according to the midwife this morning, my belly has grown at least an inch and a half. She also told me that I have a big baby in there. That it's just all baby in there. Really?! Now I know that I was told this before, but that was so early on that I kind of didn't believe it. She's guessing for him to be about 8 lbs.....RIGHT NOW! And apparently, they gain about 1/2 a lb. a week. Hmmmm.......let me think about that one for a minute. I guess that would explain the unbelievable amount of pressure on my pelvic bone right now that makes it hurt whenever I lift my legs! Didn't I read somewhere that doctors are usually wrong about these things and that the baby usually comes out weighing less. Well, I don't know about you, but my fingers are crossed! So, I immediately called my mom and told her that unless something happens next week, to book her plane ticket for the due date, because we are going to start working on some natural induction techniques!! Spicy foods, walking, inner thigh exercises, evening primrose, whatever it takes!! And lets all just start saying our prayers that he doesn't make us wait another 3 1/2 weeks. Ok....I'm going to have a baby in less than 3 1/2 weeks. OMG!
The second pic is Baby G's "nursery", which is really just a mini crib in mommy and daddy's room. But I know he will be happier in there with us and the pups at night than he would be all by himself in a second bedroom. Tommy, on the other hand, may be sleeping with his iPod on to try to get some sleep at night!!
Love
