On Thursday Spot turns 35 - weeks that is. Which means the
due date is only 5 weeks away. Coincidentally, as of Thursday I will also have
35 days until my due date.
This week I’ve noticed my belly has gotten bigger. It seems
like it’s always a drastic change. One day I look in the mirror and then BAM!
But then it will linger around the same size for a few more weeks until the
next growth spurt. I’m not sure if anyone around me can tell, but I sure can
As for Spot she’s still moving and grooving right along. I’ve
been having what at first I thought were spasms where she would push herself
against my upper belly, but after reading up, I am now suspecting those spasms
might be Braxton Hicks contractions or what are referred to as practice contractions.
(Totally normal.)
Life is getting a little tougher these last few weeks. Spot’s
movements are less “fluttery” and more uncomfortable. And finding a comfortable
position to sleep gets more difficult with each passing night. Even just sitting at my desk can be a
challenge when Spot decides to nestle up into my rib cage. But I’m still
hanging in there (and I’ve said this before, but pregnancy symptom-wise, I’ve
been really lucky) and want Spot to stay in there and keep cooking for as long
as she wants to – provided she doesn’t wait TOO long after her due date.
I don’t have a photo of my belly this week, but on Dec. 2 at
33 weeks we took some maternity photos with our friend and fabulous photographer
Melissa McGhee. Enjoy!
