Brooklinn, you are definitely making your presence known now! Mommy has a hard time walking without remembering that I am pregnant because of the number you are doing on my pubic bone! You started this trick last week (34 weeks) and you’re getting quite good at it J I went to the doctor when it first started because he said he wanted to check me out but he said I wasn’t dilated. He did say, though, that you had “dropped” which explains my obvious waddle- hehe! I have honestly had such an easy pregnancy though, I cannot complain about a last few weeks of pressure! We go back to the doctor tomorrow at 4 to check your progress now, 2 weeks later! Everywhere I go it seems like people give me the funniest looks and ask if I am going to make it to Christmas- haha, little do they know you’re not due until January 17th! (Even though I have this feeling you will be here before then!) Plus, when I went to the doctor this past week his nurses said he would probably induce labor around 39 weeks so we may get to meet earlier anyway J I was looking through baby pictures of your daddy and comparing them to ultrasound pictures of you and I was quite impressed with how much you resemble him even while you’re still warm & cozy in there! We’ll see more of who you look like in a few weeks!
Right now, your daddy and I are getting so excited to meet you- I think every hiccup I have we get excited that it might be a sign of labor! Shhh, don’t tell anyone but we have been carrying our hospital bags around in the back of the Yukon for a week now J Better safe than sorry- hehe! As far as symptoms go, I have had a touch of heartburn again but nothing like what I had around 5 months. I have had little/no swelling but some definite pubic bone pain. In the past few days I have been having Braxton Hicks contractions which makes my belly go as hard as stone for about a minute and then relax again- I guess my body is just gearing up for the real thing!
Your Aunts Bethany, Lindsay, and Melissa went with me yesterday to get manicures & pedicures in anticipation of the big day and to relieve some holiday stress—it was SO nice to just have girl talk and enjoy being pampered! We have a busy week ahead- I have 2 more days of teaching Monday & Tuesday, a doctor’s appointment Monday, our Christmas Party with friends at Melissa & Artie’s on Wednesday, the Bell Extended-Family Christmas Dinner on Thursday, Christmas Eve Service on Friday & spending the night at Mama & Daddy’s one last Christmas Eve before Christmas Day with more family <3 It’s a busy & fun time of year- a nice distraction for my anticipation of your arrival J
See you soon B-Linn Alyn!
