Weeks 38 & 39

We're in the home stretch, and I'm definitely feeling it. She is moving like crazy still, which is a great sign, but like I've mentioned already, it can be rather uncomfortable. I guess I should just cherish it right :) When do you get to feel a little miracle moving around inside you besides when you're pregnant?

So all is going well. Honestly, I'm feeling great, just the normal tiredness, cramping, and uncomfortableness of feeling her move lower and lower, but overall, feeling great. I did have a couple of moments where I thought it might be "time," but it was a false alarm. It was just practice contractions (so my doctor tells me) prepping me for the real thing. She said I'd probably have even more of them, as it's apparently normal with consecutive pregnancies.

At last Friday's appointment the doctor said I was measuring great, and that the baby was "in position" and pretty low. She also said I was about 1 cm dilated, but that could mean nothing. Baby Lulu is going to come when she's good and ready. I can't WAIT to meet her. Aaron and I are getting very very excited. We can't wait to see what she looks like, WHO she looks like, what color hair she has, or even how much hair she'll have. It's all just one big surprise. :)

And what's crazy, is that I so felt that I was going to gain more weight with this one than I did with Dylan. Mainly because I gained the bulk of my weight this time at the very beginning before I was even 20 weeks along. However, it turns out I've gained the same exact weight as I did with Dylan, just 22 lbs.

We'll be sure to keep everyone updated as to Lulu's arrival and share as many photos as possible after she's born. Tonight might just be the night, as she really is going crazy in there right now. As Aaron would say, she wants OUT!
