I haven’t felt terribly motivated to write this week. The wee-bean’s due date was this past Sunday, though I had been fairly certain for some time that she would not be making her grand entrance into the world that day. For the most part, I’ve been enjoying this quiet week with the Hubster. I’ve been sleeping in (all the way to 7am!), catching up on my favourite shows, and accomplishing all those tasks around the house that I’ve had rolling around in my mind. The wee-bean’s room is prepped and ready, her clothes are washed and organized, and her little library of books is neatly set out, ready for use.…

How Far Along: 39 Weeks* Size of Baby: A Mini Watermelon Weight Gain: 30 pounds Movement: All kinds of it, though I am definitely feeling it in new places. She is still most active in the evenings, she usually starts rocking out around 8:30 pm and goes non-stop for about 2 hours. Last night I felt her lower than I have ever felt her before, which leads me to believe she she may be on her way fairly soon… which makes sense as my due date is, you know, tomorrow. Still lots of hiccups, and now you can actually feel her little hands and feet bumping out as she stretches…

Oh, heeeey. Remember that time when I used to post more than once a week about things other than my pregnancy updates? That time before work completely took over my life? Well, at long last… I’M BACK. I made it!!! It was a long, crazy 8 weeks, but I survived my LTO and submitted my report card marks with 5 minutes to spare on Tuesday. It still feels a little surreal–I have this terrible nagging feeling that I’ve forgotten something, but I think it’s just my mind readjusting to the idea that I have absolutely nothing to mark. *swoon* It feels… magical. It’s only my second day but I’m already…

How Far Along: 38 Weeks* Size of Baby: A Leek Weight Gain: 28 pounds Movement: I was told that it’s normal for babies to slow down their movements at this stage as they have less room to dance at this size. Um, no. The wee-bean is still rockin’ out in my belly pretty much all the time. She’s still very obedient and stays quiet while I’m at work or while I’m asleep, but if I’m sitting quietly, then it’s time to dance! The other night I was curled up in bed marking essays, and I could barely even concentrate because she was moving so much. We had to have a…

How Far Along: 37 Weeks* Size of Baby: Swiss Chard Weight Gain: 27 pounds Movement: Still loads of hiccups–she is actually hiccuping away as I type right now and this is her third round today. She is still very active, though she is still definitely most active in the mornings and evenings; she seems to sense when I’m at work and tries not to interrupt. :) Cravings: Brownies. And cupcakes. Food Aversions: Same as last week–basically anything I prepare myself is less than appetizing. Symptoms: My feet are not just swollen, they are huge. Well, today at least. For a few days this week they went back down to almost…
