WOW BELLY! 34 weeks, measuring 34cm and have gain 20lbs (gulp). I have been so hungry lately and she has kicked the growing thing in over drive. The books say that the baby is growing at the fastest rate now that ever before and let me tell you this is so true! My tummy is heavy and skin is tight. Starting this week I started experiencing some light lower back pain and some aching in my lower abdomen. My midwives said it sounds like the baby is just preparing for her big day. Today I was at a meeting with 10 people and 3 of us were pregnant! At my work right now there are 6 of us that are pregnant. My sister and neighbor are both pregnant. Someone from another group I work with is also pregnant. My sorority sister and someone who attends meetings I do for a program at work both just gave birth two weeks ago. Babies are everywhere! I love it!
Our little baby girl must be practicing her aerobics in my belly because her arms and legs push out to the side of my belly and she moves all around what feels like all the time now!
So my sweetie Damien and I have literally gained the same amount of weight this pregnancy. The only good part is that after I give birth I will lose a significant amount of it right away :) We have each gained 20lbs! It's normal though for partners to gain sympothy weight as the mama puts on baby weight. In a few short weeks we will have to work together to lose the weight. Some good our gym memberships are doing us... $65 a month for nothing since we obviously aren't using them. I am guessing that after the birth we will both be going a lot more!
