WOW now that's a baby belly! Slow start and then overnight she turned up the growth dial to max. Amazing how much she has grown over the past couple weeks. You can see how much larger she is between just weeks 37 and 39! With only 4 days left until her due date the anticipation is high and excitement is growing. Damien and I can't wait to meet her and be able to hold her in our arms.
39 week update-I have gained 22 lbs now and am feeling very tired and definitely ready to not be pregnant anymore as she is so large and very uncomfortable. He pelvic bones hurt as she has dropped down and is pushing my hips apart. I feel her kicking up under my ribs now. She has been doing gymnastics in my belly lately. I think she wants to come out as her nice home has quickly become too small. She needs more room to grow and play and that is clearly not going to happen inside of me. Come out baby!
Heartburn is one of those inevitable things that go with pregnancy and as you know I have endured my share that wonderful side effect. Damien was talking with his co-worker about it last week and she said that in India women drink a tea made from boiled caraway seeds to prevent heartburn. I tried it and it was amazing! Before I would wake up in the middle of the night with horrible heartburn and for the past two nights I haven't had any symptoms. yay!
Mama and daddy love you baby!
