The baby kicks are much stronger and they make my belly a very unstable surface - it was nice there for awhile to use as an extra tray for snacks! Now you can feel where she is throughout the day because that part of my belly gets really hard…and usually after poking around she pokes back! It’s fun.
So, I’m 38 weeks yesterday! It was exciting to think that I have only 14 more days to go (assuming she’s “on time”)! According to BabyCenter, She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long! Her eyesight continues to develop but by the time she is born her vision will only be 20/400.
I have been having a crazy case of the “pregnant brain”. I had heard rumors of this pregnant brain and thought they were all false but every day I seem to become more and more absentminded and very clumsy! Brain often cuts me off when I’m talking because I’ll suddenly remember I have already said the same thing once before. I begin telling Lloyd a story that I will stop in the middle of realizing by his expression that I have already told him the same story earlier!
In the ‘How Your Life is Changing’ section, it said that things are getting more uncomfortable these days - confirmed! While I’d love to be a graceful and glowing pregnant woman, I am just not feeling it. I am ready for her to be out of my tummy and in my arms!
I have had several folks ask me about Della's room. . .I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them up for you to see. We collected childhood pictures of all the girls in our family and put them in frames. . .so cute!!!
My next (and my last) doctors appointment is next Thursday! I sure do appreciate everyone’s encouraging words and messages. . .you don’t even know! I can hardly wait to introduce you to Baby Della!!! ~Amy
