Today marks 8 months in my pregnancy with only 8 weeks to go. Although I want baby girl to stay in as long as she needs to in order to be strong and healthy it blows my mind to think that she is full term in 5 weeks.
Hopefully she will stick around in her cozy home until at least October 2nd for my own selfish reasons really…I have a Jack Johnson concert to go to on the 1st and I would really hate to miss it :) In my defense that is 2 weeks before she is due so my chances are good that we will still be waiting for her at that point.
Not only is it a big week for us here reaching the 8 month mark but it has been a big week in our family as well. My brother and his girlfriend welcomed their baby boy, Mason James, into the world on Saturday afternoon weighing in at 6 pounds 2 ounces.
Because they are in Seattle and we are in Vancouver I haven’t been able to get my newborn cuddles in but come this weekend I will be getting some quality auntie time with that little boy, I have to practice up for baby girls arrival.
Baby girl has had a very busy week practicing for her big debut in about 56 days working on things like swallow, breathing, kicking and sucking. It melts my heart to thing that she is sucking her thumb now. Not only has she been practicing she has also been gaining some weight and baby fat. She is almost 4 pounds and 19 inches and because of the baby fat she has gained her skin is now no longer see through but more opaque like mine. So much is changing and will continue to change over the next 8 weeks.
You look amazing Kim, pregnancy is very becoming on you…… Is it just me or does baby girl look a little lower positioned in this picture??
Funny you say that because I was just thinking over the last few days that she seems to be lower. I figured I was just imagining it.
