I'm about 35 weeks pregnant... depending on who's dates you're going by...
According to the medical establishment, I'm 35 and a half weeks pregnant, counting from my LMP.
According to my records... as you might know that I was TTC, so I was keeping track... I'm 34 and a half weeks because I know when I ovulated.
So we'll just take the average of that and say I'm 35 weeks. ;)
Besides, it really doesn't matter because babies are born on their birthday, not when any set amount of weeks go by. Ha! Especially MY babies, they don't pay attention to due dates...
But anyway... I am excited! And I honestly feel as great as ever! No really, I'm telling the truth.
The only hiccups... besides the baby's... :) is heartburn, but a drop of CPTG peppermint essential oil in my mouth takes care of that instantly. Love that stuff, that's why I have to have some by my bed.
It is a little hard to roll over in bed, but once I'm out, I'm OUT! Meaning, once I'm asleep, I sleep all the way through the night. I don't even have to get up to pee. I credit this to the Hypnobabies hypnosis and listening to pregnancy affirmations before bed.
The only other thing is that I feel slightly unprepared, as in having everything I need on hand... I mean, I don't even have diapers yet, so I need to get on that... And my midwife will be coming in a week and a half, and we'll talk more about what I need to have on hand for my home birth.
Yep, you heard right. :) HOME BIRTH
I'm so excited! I figure, I've had a hospital birth, a birth center birth, so naturally follows a home birth, right? But it only makes sense because I've heard that having a home birth is no different from going to a birth center because the midwife has everything on hand that she'd have at the birth center... so why make the car ride while working through pressure waves? (contractions) I think I'll just stay in the comfort of my own home, thank you!
So anyway... just excited for the upcoming Hypnobabies birth, and I wonder how big she will be, and when she will come and all that... But really I'm just chill right now, and I'm in no hurry to have this baby. I'm grateful for the full nights sleep I'm getting every night, because I know it won't be like that for long once baby comes...
