Not much new to report, thankfully this pregnancy has gone pretty smoothly the past few weeks! I am 35 weeks now and had my home visit today with the midwives! It went really well. It was so strange discussing my birth plans in detail, I still feel like I have a long way to go, but hopefully these last 5 weeks or so will fly by! Im so ready to meet this baby girl! Justin and I have yet to name her! We are so indecisive! I really want her to have a name before she gets here though. The midwifes today predicted her to be around 4-4.5 lbs, which is a little small still but not bad for 35 weeks! I am measuring very small though. I was measuring 28 cm today! So strange. Erica and I will be ordering the birth tub very soon and I can't wait for that to arrive! I have felt great though and have had very little complaints. Heart burn has been pretty bad but other than that I feel pretty good! Justin and I have been trying to take walks in the morning before it gets too hot. We take our short walk and then the kids play on the play ground. I have gained the most weight I have gained in any of my other pregnancies and It will not be fun to try and shed! I have gained around 25 lbs. By the time she arrives I will be huge!
I cant be more excited that we are planning a home birth though. I know natural labor will be difficult but It is the best thing for baby girl and I.
My favorite things these days is relaxing in the evening and crocheting, watching tv with my big glass of water full of ice. I have also gotten in the habit of taking a long warm bath every night and I think that helps to keep my muscles from being too sore.
