Today marks 35 weeks for our Anna and things seem to be well! I am having less pelvic pain, for whatever reason (yay for chiropractors!), and while my tummy is still tender (sore muscles or lack thereof), it's not as painful. My feet swell more and I cannot wear any other shoes besides flip-flops these days along with loose & flowy clothes. She still is a mover & while the internet sites say she'll start to slow down due to lack of space, I'm not so convinced she will :) She still is positioned just like her brother and while he straightened himself out eventually, we'll see how soon she does. My midwife said she'll be interested to see if she's more up & down vs. corner to corner :).
Fun 35 week fact: Most of her basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight. (babycenter.com)
I've put together a timeline of "to-do's" for each week and it's funny how when I did that, I realized even more how her arrival is literally right around the corner!! Things like putting up bassinet/packnplay, cooking/freezing meals, installing car seat, cleaning house, buying batteries for swing/vibrate chair, etc., packing hospital bag, buying diapers & other essentials, etc., etc. Here's hoping we get majority of it done!! I've been showing Eli a magazine I got when pregnant with Eli that shows pictures of how babies look each month in the womb. When I showed him tonight, it was hard to believe how much of a "baby" she is now and that she is pretty much fully developed! Eli continues to shower my tummy with kisses and also likes our tummies to kiss. I know the adjustment will be hard, and I don't expect it to be smooth, but what I DO look forward to, is Eli meeting Anna for the first time...what a precious moment!! I know he'll be all smiles and it will be a moment we all cherish.
So, thanks for checking in and next week I'll start posting weekly belly pictures until she is born. Plus, look for a post about big brother Eli later this week!
