My growing Jelly belly


Week 36

Had another doctor’s visit yesterday, in which we did an ultrasound. Doctor said everything looks great: she’s head down, good weight (5 lbs 13 oz), and has plenty of amniotic fluid. We now begin our weekly appointments. One way or another, we’re having this kid pretty soon. I can’t wait to meet her! She’s been such a wiggle worm this whole time, I’m sure she’ll just be a bundle of fun once she’s here. I’m still feeling pretty great. Very little fatigue, sleeping very well (minus the once or twice bathroom visits), not too much swelling of ankles, and only minimal achiness. I had a prenatal massage on Tuesday, and it was very nice. She wasn’t able to do any deep tissue massage on my lower back (which is kind of where I need it, but oh well), but the shoulder massage was quite nice. I had a little cushion I laid flat on that had a cutout for my tummy. Man, I will be glad to be able to lay flat on my stomach again, that’s for sure. Pretty much the only thing I’m tired of is being big (and I know even that could be worse/will get worse).

Here’s my picture for the week. You can actually see a little bulge in my side: that’s her foot or knee, or something. She has recently had much fun digging in to that particular spot. She’s probably going to have her mommy’s sharp elbows and knees.

In the words of my doctor: “One to four weeks left!”

She MUST have your sharp elbows. It’s poetic justice – I gave them to you and suffered the consequences – my ribs were bruised. Now Auri is dealing you a taste of that! I can really see her foot or elbow (probably foot). You look great – no stretch marks. I want to come see you!
