So I’m totally fooling myself and I know it. I came to terms with it last night. I won’t be meeting this little man for a few more weeks instead of by next Monday when mom and dad leave town. And that’s okay. I guess having Evie early (and then getting into my pre-prego pants 3 days later) makes it hard for me to want to go full term but I know he needs to be healthy so I’m okay with it. I do, however, hope the next few weeks fly by super fast so I can get out of this uncomfortable and hurting stage of pregnancy.
Your baby doesn’t have much room to maneuver now that he’s over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it’s so snug in your womb, he isn’t likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he’ll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

And, you know, since we don’t have the ‘nursery’ set up yet (no crib, no dresser, etc) then I guess it’s okay that he’s not here yet (then again…maybe it’d help us speed along the process instead of us putting it off like we are! LOL) I just hope Steve won’t be right on the date – he wants him to come on 8/9/10 – which would be a cool birthday, but that’s only 2 days before my due date. I think I’d die. LOL
Well, at least I’m not longer delusional to think he’ll come in the next few days, but I’m sure I’ll still be whiney with the things that make me uncomfortable – so be prepared! LOL
