6 Weeks Left

I have to start this blog by saying that after seeing baby Bella and baby Kendall this weekend, it’s making me “extremely” excited and anxious to meet little miss Halle. I can’t wait to see what she looks like and to finally be able to hold her in my arms! I can’t wait to cuddle with her and introduce her to my family and friends!!!

On Baby Center it says:
“Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.”

For the most part I’m still feeling great and I’m still working full time. I’m finding that in the afternoons and evenings my feet and hands become really swollen. Wearing flip flops during the day is a must now for comfort! Trying to find an easy position to sit in — let alone sleep — is becoming more of a challenge. I find myself bumping into chairs and counters now which is very weird for me! A couple of times I have bummed into Andrew (well my belly has) and we both just laugh. Until next time…
