I thought it would be fun to see the progression of how this baby bump is growing... wow, a lot changes from week to week! At this point, BabyW. is expected to gain around 1/2 lb. every week for the next 6 weeks as he packs on the baby fat and gets ready for life in the "real world."It's been so fun to feel him the last couple of weeks, as now I feel knees and elbows, his bum, and often a foot or something in my ribs! I can tell he's definitely filling out his space in there and doesn't have as much room to move. He's still moving, but he feels cramped! I still have a hard time distinguishing whether it's a knee or an arm or what that I'm feeling, but it's still really cool. I have an ultrasound next Thursday, so hopefully we'll find that he is head-down already! I'm feeling confident that the extra fluid issue has resolved itself because he is so easy to feel now.
Our house is starting to feel ready for a baby - there are baby clothes and diapers and gear all over the place. As much as I want to get organized at least once more while I still can, I'm resolving to the fact that this chaos will likely be my reality for a while to come! As the weeks fly by, and it's almost June, I realize I better get crackin' on my to-do list! I have a book or two to read, a bag to pack, a carseat to install, baby-stuff to wash, a chair to reupholster, walls to decorate and maternity leave paperwork to fill out. And I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch!
have you read "Baby Wise"? It's a great book! I couldn't put it down. Kingston usually sleeps 11 hours at night b/c of this book. I only read it two months ago, but I wish I would have read it sooner.
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
ReplyDeleteI love the new look of your blog - You look totally beautiful. It's really getting exciting now. I'm going to give you a call soon and see if I can come over and see all the baby happenings....
Love, Jeanie
Isn't it crazy to see the pics all together! It's shocking how much we grow and stretch, etc!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on teh GBS. I was freaked out at first (hence the blog update) and my husband and I changed our birth plan even. It was an overwhelming time, I like what you said about learning to know that God is in control. Since I wrote that blog i've had so many women tell me of how they too had GBS and I never once heard a horror story! That was encouraging!The things I was reading online freaked me out.
Anyways, I too like your bedding and decor! It's so adorable and super modern looking! I love that. How exciting, only a "few" weeks to go which is hard to believe somedays!
you look wonderful!!!
