Belly

Belly Photo Friday!

I am fairly sure that the babe has "dropped" as I can feel him much lower and if I don't concentrate, I walk like an old cowboy. My mother described it as walking with a bowling ball between my legs and that is just how it feels. When I walk the dogs, I make a conscious effort to stand up straight and walk like a normal person. I don't know if that makes me look even stranger or not!

I have a midwife appointment later this morning and will add to this post if any new information arises from it. I still feel pretty darn good during the day and still have a bit of trouble sleeping at night. I have been practicing my labor techniques: distraction, focused breathing, relaxing muscles and positive imagery. My plan is to go au natural as I am deathly afraid of not being able to walk around or feel my legs. I couldn't imagine that. So, that is my plan. It is in writting and I am giving the birth plan to my midwife at our appointment! Closer and closer everyday!

Have a great weekend everyone!

*** Just got back from the apt and all is well - she said there isn't a lot to talk to me about as weight gain, urine and bp are all perfect. I am measuring 34 weeks - which is good as babe as indeed moved and he is head down and maybe a "froggie" position with his limbs.***
