Throughout my pregnancy I have prided myself on the fact that I have remained fairly positive, in good spirits and felt pretty good the majority of the time...lately that feeling is coming to a screeching hault! I am feeling huge, I waddle, I can't stand up on my own from the couch, I have been super tired, I have been feeling light headed, I couldn't see my ankle bones the other day, I can't take a deep breath because there is no room for my lungs to expand and I am more than ready to have the baby and take my body back!
I had my 34 week check up today and I am measuring a little over 35 1/2 weeks! My doctor said not to be surprised if this baby makes it debut in early April! The head is down and in ready position to make it's exit! I lost a little weight these past 2 weeks as well which she said is normal for the end of your pregnancy. Joel was a little shocked to find out we might have less time than originally planned. He automatically thinks about everything we still want to do around the house before the baby arrives...I on the other hand am just ready whenever the baby is ready!
This past weekend we took our birthing class at Holland Hospital. Despite that it was an all day Saturday class and the fact that MSU was playing Michigan it was really enjoyable. We learned a lot, saw a lot of births, got questions answered, had a nice tour of the hospital, ate yummy food in the cafeteria and Joel learned some new massaging techniques! We both walked away feeling very prepared for whatever scenario happens with our birth. We also walked away realizing this will be an emotional day for both of us...every birthing video left us with tears in our eyes! It is just the most amazing miracle and it is crazy how God created a woman's body to be able to create new life and then bring it into the world!
