I had just entered my third trimester the last time I wrote a pregnancy post. I wanted to get one more in, to recap the last couple months, before baby arrives!
I talked about due date confusion before... And I'll admit after siding with the later date myself, I was starting to waiver to the week earlier as I'm eager to meet this baby! But, after a follow up ultrasound last month, my doctor, who was going by September 28, officially switched my due date to October 5. Two ultrasound reports, months apart, indicated the estimated date of October 5, so she made the executive decision to go with that date.
That makes me 37 weeks and 4 days. Full term!

Feeling?
Anxious! Wondering when she will make her debut. I am feeling nervous about whether Matthew will be home or away at work when I go in to labour. His week off started yesterday, so part of me is hoping she arrives this week or holds off at least another two for his following set of days off, eek! If the due date is right, he'll be off ;) But I am relieved that his dad (aka Poppy) arrived this Monday and is here to look after Halle when the time comes! And Nanny will be joining us this week :)
Sleeping?
Up to go pee at least once a night. Pretty sure it was more often with Halle? However, I'm still waking up a ton because of discomfort which didn't happen last time... I find it harder to sleep on my left side this time and I am constantly wanting to roll over and change sides upon waking. And that's getting challenging at this point!
"Preggo Problems" :P
- Bath time with a belly in the way and the challenge of getting up off the floor with a toddler wrapped up in a towel
- Going to the playground with Halle and not being able to climb up and/or fit on parts of the jungle gym
"Preggo Miracles"
- GRANDPARENTS VISITING! Bring on the helping hands, home cooked meals and handy man projects finally getting completed!
Yes, that's right folks! In the last few weeks of pregnancy baby girls nursery is finally getting painted!! And even though she'll be room sharing with us in her bassinet for a while, I'm hoping it will be decorated before she arrives. I have been stoking up on décor and I can't wait to see it come together and share photos :)
And, of course, thankful as always for a little naptime relaxation :)
Happy Friday Friends! xo
