9 Month Check up Today, Baby looks good! Blood was withdrawn for anemia check up and routine strep test was done as well. The midwife gave us a nice little preview of SweetPea today, she guessed that he/she is about 7 lbs.....what?? 7lbs already really! oh my! Baby was moving all over the place and in great position for exit route. I set up my weekly appts till Mid January, so lets see how far I go. Will it be next week or 6-weeks from now, who knows. Its a waiting game with the timer in the hands of Sweetpea!! One more day of work and then 4 Day break! My little soulmate Christine comes home Christmas Eve at 11:30PM and I cannot wait! Christmas Day we have cookie bake-off and finally painting room.
36 Week-My Belly Update
Baby should soon descend into your pelvis, which will give your lungs a little room to breathe (literally). The bad news: This puts the brunt of baby's weight on your hips and pelvis, and will make them pretty sore. Add in your ever-loosening ligaments, and you may soon be taking on that oh-so-adorable pregnancy waddle.
Baby's still the size of a honeydew or close to a watermelon.
Baby's skin is getting smooth and soft, her gums are rigid, her liver and kidneys are in working order, and her circulation and immune system are basically good to go. Her lungs are the only organs that still need to fully mature, but every day she gets a little closer to breathing on her own.
