This little guy is tap dancing on my bladder with such intensity I believe he wants to become a dancer of some sort (to his daddy’s dismay!). I can’t believe the frequency with which I make trips to the restroom. It is almost embarrassing at work, but at least they all know it’s the pregnancy. However, I have to say that I slept through the night last night, which is the first time in awhile. I was so exhausted that I was in tears as I kissed Tim goodnight and as soon as I hit the pillow, I fell into a dreamless, black sleep for a full seven hours. This pregnancy thing is exhausting. How on earth do mothers of toddlers do it?
I think it’s so exhausting lately because he is putting on all of his “baby fat” and moving around constantly. The 20lbs that I gained seems to be moving from my other parts of my body right to my tummy. I am hungrier and craving anything with protein and calcium. I look down at my belly and see a poke here, a flutter there, a rolling there. It’s so awesome...and weird, too. I have a little human in there! What an amazing miracle and blessing to be able to grow a little human, regardless of how uncomfortable he makes me!
Speaking of little James in motion…he moves constantly but unfortunately he is still breech. According to my midwife, about 14% of babies are still breech at 28 weeks and at 40 weeks, only about 4% remain breech. So chances are that he will turn in his own good time. The independence has begun! I am not too worried about this, but certain members of my family (which will remain unnamed, husb..ahem) are a little freaked out about it. Personally they should just keep it to themselves to avoid stressing out the pregnant lady! No need to worry until it’s necessary!
(29 weeks, 3 days)
