Ok we are very much on the down hill run from here.
This fortnight, we've had two birth education classes, an antenatal appointment, my glucose test coming back clear and a much needed haircut! It's also very much winter here already! With today not getting any higher then 11 degrees.
This does make for a challenge if I need to leave the house - warm clothes that cover the belly are becoming very hard to find! Although I feel like the last week or so I've been around the same size.
Birth education classes have been great, terrifying but great. I've got an idea of the sort of birth I'd like but know that ultimately it is up to our baby girl what happens.
Today's antenatal appointment was great as always with a very healthy and happy wiggly girl that is normal and perfect! I'm 29 weeks and 5 days today and she is measuring 30 weeks with her head down at the moment. Her heart beat is simply amazing - every time a doctor or midwife hears it they are simply blown away with our strong and consistent it is. The midwife today was amazing, answering all my strange questions and even letting me record her heart beat.
Turn Up Your Sound!
The nursery is pretty much ready to go, just a few things to hang on the walls and of course her name to go on the door. We are pretty sure we are decided on a name - it has always been between two names and for awhile we were definite about one but have this week gone with the first choice and felt so much more comfortable it it. I even think she likes being called it more then the other. Of course we will have to wait til we met her to make sure.
I am loving her wiggling around alot more these days because she definitely responds to our touches and even voices. She does get excited when I go to my mums and knows her Grandma Gigi's voice already! Mum worked in childcare for, forever and is already sing to her which she loves and is beautiful to see. She loves kicking back at her daddy thats for sure, and loves hearing him call her name. She also knows when his alarm goes off in the morning.
I am physically feeling pretty good these days. Probably better then I was a few weeks ago. I still get tired but after finding out I had very low iron levels from my last blood test, I have been focusing on adding more iron and fiber to my meals as well as adding iron to my vitamins, which has helped. Plus sleep has been alot better since moving to the spare bed - not sure if it's the bed or what but it seems easier to get out of (especially for those nightly toilet trips) and I'm able to have my 8 pillows and super soft doona to myself. Although the husband has managed to sneak in - not sure how it fits in there with me but as long as he can keep the snoring down I'm more then happy to have the company. But I have been sleeping in alot more and waking up less through the night which is lovely.
It's alittle scary to think that in 10 weeks time or less, we will have our little girl in our arms!
Scary yet, I can't wait to met her.
Looks like I've eaten a basketball!
