I was hoping the little guy would want to make an early appearance (considering 37 weeks onwards, you're considered full term and baby's just putting on weight then onwards).
All i can report for now is Braxton hicks which are getting more frequent and slightly more intense (not painful yet). Doctors appointments are weekly now and he says everything looks good, but i was hoping next week to check for dilation and effacement (i'd be really disappointed if i haven't progressed at all).
Baby's doing great. Just chilling.. surprisingly active, for the amount of space he has in there.. Of course, those little kicks and punches are pretty painful these days.. I'm getting beat up from the inside. But i've gotta say, after he is born, i'm going to miss the kicks, punches and hiccups and watching my belly move around and shift shapes.
I'm pretty anxious to have him in my arms and having baby stuff lying around the house isn't helping! Ahhh, hopefully, this week.
Hospital bag all ready and sitting right by my bed in case I think of something else that needs to go in.
Hopefully i'll have big news next week!
The last few weeks can be the hardest. But savour every moment, you'll miss the hiccups like crazy!! And then once the baby is born, life changes forever!
ReplyDeleteI do miss the hiccups and all the movement :( Time flies but i'm trying to soak in as much as possible of this newborn stage :) It's ridiculous how fast babies grow!!
