36 weeks.
It's still too soon for the baby to be born. The best thing is for him/her to stay in for a few more weeks, get healthier and stronger.
Yet in the odd selfish moment, I just want it out. A lot of this comes from pure impatience: I just want to meet this little person.
It's a limbo stage. And I can feel my body gearing down, preparing for the birth.
No more sharp pains in my back, very little tightness. It's all weary and achy and relaxed.
The baby's growth has slowed slightly - it's now measuring above average instead of WAY above average. (Steve remembers this happening last time too, but all I can remember is being tired.)
The swelling wants to happen and any attempts to stop it are lasting less and less time.
Exhaustion beyond belief.
Discomfort.
I don't mind any of it. (Okay, maybe the discomfort when I'm trying to sleep aggravates me.)
The sense that this baby is on its way within the next few weeks is enough to encourage me to just go with it all.
Although my impatient side may be on the countdown now...
I was going to say 'I thought you said you were huge!' You're looking very normally pregnant to me :)
ReplyDeleteSo many bubbas on their way very soon - so exciting!!
Oh, very excited for you! I remember those last few weeks and the 'just get out baby' feeling. Actually I think I felt that the whole pregnancy long (both of them!).
ReplyDeleteBest, best wishes for the weeks to come x
You look great Megan - I can't believe you are 36weeks already but then again I am 30-31weeks so I suppose I can. SO exciting - bring it on!! xx
ReplyDeleteOh, I can barely believe it's down to those last precious weeks.. they seem to go so fast and yet so agonizingly slowly at the same time. You look radiant, Megan, beautifully awaiting the arrival of your precious second bundle :)xx
ReplyDeleteOh Megan you will be meeting your new babe so soon!
ReplyDeleteTime is so viscous in those last weeks isn't it? Heavy with importance and yet looking back you'll think they flew by.
So very excited for you :)
I can't believe it's nearly baby time! I suppose seeing you once a month has made it go much faster for me than for you :p Cannot WAIT to see his or her little face!
