Milos--
Can't wait to hear your update! Good luck with everything and 7lbs is going to be plenty! So excited for you!!!
Shell--keep us posted hun! I am excited for you!!
Imp--those pictures are absolutely gorgeous!! I too like the black and white photos! I wish I could convince DH to do something like that!
Bellas--the heartrate does go down. I have not been doing the dopplar, but I have to do NSTs twice a week where I am strapped to a machine that monitor's Grace's heartrate. Her resting rate has dropped into the 120s in the last few weeks from the 130-140s. MD told me this is totally normal. As long as her average is staying above 120, they are not concerned. Hope that helps!
Vix--what a birth story! I am so happy you were able to deliver the way you wanted and that the placenta came out on its own, phew! And Libby Grace is so beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing some pictures of her!
Sparkle--So sorry to hear about your mom, hun, I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. My grandmother lost a breast to breast cancer in her 30s, and my mother recently had a suspicious lump found in hers that we just found out the other day was thankfully not cancerous. It is a very stressful and difficult time, please know we are here for you if you need to talk.
As for the exhaustion, I agree with Grand, make sure you get plenty of rest, I had to nap so often in 2nd tri and have noticed the last week or so that I tire more as well.
Good luck with clearing out space for little Apple Alice!
Neffie--hope you are having a good weekend with DH putting together that furniture!
lil--
that DH can feel and see the little one moving now also! Also glad you can feel him/her moving around more! I hear you on the spicy food, I get a similar reaction from Grace when I eat it! haha
Grand--Happy 39 weeks! FX'd that we get to see Little Blue's arrival in the coming days! In meantime, hope you and DH are enjoying and relaxing in these final few days of just being the 2 of you!
New--thinking of you hun and wishing you a speedy recovery!
AFM: My office threw me a surprise baby shower on Friday, totally unexpected, got a lot of wonderful things, more clothes, toys, a pack and play from the partners in the firm, it was lovely--of course that meant I have spent the last couple of days organizing and washing clothes again (just when I thought I was done!)
Doctor told me on Friday that we will be scheduling my induction for 39 weeks, so we are looking at the 19th as the likely day, give or take a day, I will know for sure this week at my next appointment. Grace's growth scan is thursday (13th), so we will have a good idea as to her size and likelihood of a C-Section. It's all becoming very real now! DH and I took time this weekend to go out to our favorite restaurant and do a few things together, knowing full well it will soon be 3 of us instead of 2!
and 7lbs is perfect..
