It is about time for a prego belly update. This picture was taken just over a week ago when I was 30 weeks. I am now '31 weeks' which means I have about 9 weeks to go assuming the baby comes on or near his due date (October 24th).
Lately I've had trouble sleeping at night because I just can't get comfortable - however, I slept like a ROCK last night! It was wonderful. My back muscles have a subtle ache to them all day but have only really been a bother to me a few times. Jeff is great about helping me feel as comfortable as he can and treats me to regular back massages. I have had a few Braxton Hicks contractions so far which I think are pretty cool... I know you're all saying the true labor contractions I'll be having in a couple months won't be so 'cool' and I understand that. But, while these ones are pain-free, I'll continue to marvel at the occasional tightening and hardening of my entire abdomen to a flesh-covered rock.
Other than the minor aches and getting a bit more uncomfortable, this pregnancy has continued to be uneventful and has run smoother than I could have asked for.
Jeff and I are getting more and more excited to meet this little guy as his arrival draws nearer. I try to imagine this little person that kicks my insides around all day sleeping/crying/pooping (you name it) in our newly assemled crib, stroller, and carseat - but it is still so surreal. There is no rush to get him here - he still needs to cook for a while... but we are sure excited!
