It feels as if every week is going by just a little bit quicker than the previous week. When Monday rolls around I get really excited that I only have to wait 2 more days to be at the start of another week. With only 6 weeks until my due date I am feeling calm and relaxed about where we are at and what the future holds for us.
I continue to be blessed with a great pregnancy. Although my back and hips are a little sore, sleep is not what it use to be and almost daily acid reflux I am still so thankful for how the last 8 1/2 months have gone. I have joked through out the pregnancy that I can see how women end up with 10 kids, if their pregnancies are anything like mine, it truely has been great.
We have lots of fun things coming up over the next 6 weeks like baby showers, birthing classes, buying a new car, maternity photo shoot and birthday celebrations. Thankfully we still have some free weekends for Sean and I to just enjoy being a family of two before baby girl gets here, because I know she is going to be here before we know it.
Over the last week or so I have been working on a very lengthy post (I really mean it this thing is long) on our journey through this pregnancy focusing on our choice of birth attendant and birth location. This will give everyone a glimpse into the process Sean and I have been through in deciding what our plan is for our birth. We are both aware that things don’t always go as planned but we are focusing on a happy and healthy baby however the birth may end up. I hope to have this incredible long post up this weekend for anyone who is interested in reading it.
Baby girl is now about 5 pounds and over 19 inches long. Her fat layers continue to fill out which will help regulate her temperature once she is born. Her central nervous system and lungs continue to mature and her little finger nails have reached the tip of her fingers.
