We have officially arrived at “any day now” for Baby Holmes! All the Braxton Hicks contractions I’ve had have apparently been quite effective. I was talking to my midwife friend last night about my doctor visit and she said that my current progress is great for a first time mom. That made me feel quite proud of me :)
My last day at work before maternity leave will (most likely) be Friday and baby boy is expected to arrive at some point next week. It goes without saying that we are beyond excited. (And of course praying for a safe delivery and healthy baby.) Mike commented last night that he is really anxious to be able to talk to the baby instead of just my belly.
In other news, I gained 3 pounds this past week. That’s approximately half of what I expected given the amount of food I ate last weekend! I’ve gained 25% of my total pregnancy weight gain in the past two weeks. Not sure if that’s good or bad, but the doctor doesn’t seem to think anything of it.
Sleep continues to be one big joke. I wake up and my back is in such excruciating pain I can hardly move. Add to that a full bladder and gigantic stomach…yeah getting up in the middle of the night (and often more than once) is loads of fun.
I snapped the below picture of my husband the other night. Doesn’t he look adorable? Actually, this picture by turn makes me go “Awww” and “&*@$#Q” because he makes sleep look so peaceful and effortless.
Well this has been one random update. Sir Squirms-a-Lot is quite happy at the moment since he just got lunch. And there goes another Braxton Hicks contraction…at this point I say, “Bring them on!”
Back to my to-do list so that I can hopefully have everything wrapped up by Friday…
