On one hand, I wish these next six weeks would go by faster. It feels like I have been pregnant for EVER, and I'd love to be holding my sweet girl in my arms right this second. I know that she has to cook a little bit longer, though, and besides...
On the other hand, I am absolutely terrified. I may have mentioned this (or you already knew) but Jeff and I are the first parents in our "circle". He's 26 and I'm 28 and most of the people I know think of us as young parents. I must say, I am TERRIFIED in a lot of ways about having a baby. Will I be a good mother? Will our baby be healthy? I'm afraid to crack under the pressure of not having any mommy friends. Who knows, though...maybe we'll lead by example, lol!
As for my pregnancy this week...well, last week, I guess, week 34 is just beginning! I have felt better in my 3rd trimester than the whole rest of my pregnancy, although I am STILL nauseous throughout the evening and into the early mornings. As you may recall, the beginning of my pregnancy was hellish and made us wonder if the BB (Ballerina Baby...get it?) might be an only! However, I am definitely glowing in my 3rd trimester and assuming BB is a good baby she might get herself a sibling. Maybe. We all know how much siblings suck. (I'm looking at you, John. And just kidding. I loves you! <3)>
At my last appointment (which was 32 weeks. My 34 weeks is this afternoon...yippee!) they said that my belly was measuring at 37 weeks! I have only gained 19 pounds but it is ALL in my big round beach ball belly. They sent me for an ultrasound then, but BB was 4 pounds and 17 inches, just like she should be, so I guess Mommy's the fatty, not BB! I am selfishly hoping for another US at this appointment. I didn't get one until 28 weeks because of the doctors switching over the machine and so I've only gotten to see her at 28 and 32 weeks. I know I'll get to see her face soon, but I just cant get enough of it! Everything else was great and the doctor told me that he expected a normal, healthy baby to be born sometime in July.
Jeff and I have been trying to guess when BB will arrive. Since Daddy's birthday is July 31 (same day as Harry Potter...I am SUCH a dork for knowing that...it was a source of much amusement for me when we first met, believe me! I told you I was a dork!), he is secretly cheering BB to be two weeks late. I will be UNHAPPY and READY TO EVICT if that happens! I do get the feeling that she'll be a little late, though. I don't know why.
Hmm. I swear I had more to say, but apparently this post is already insanely long. And I want pancakes and possibly bacon, so I best get out of bed and go cook some breakfast. More soon!
