Dropping

Everything went well at my doctor's appointment. I have gained only about 23 pounds, which I am so happy about. My blood pressure was great, the baby is measuring on track, and his heart beat was good. I talked to my doctor about the things I've been experiencing, and he said that if the baby comes now, there is nothing they will do to stop it. He didn't seem to think that he'd be coming this weekend or anything, but I am definitely experiencing pre-labor symptoms.

Then last night I threw up. I don't throw up much just in general, and only threw up once my first trimester when I had morning sickness, so this is not something that I find exciting. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Aaron mentioned yesterday that my stomach looked smaller. I was checking it out in the mirror, and its shape has definitely changed. I'm not sure exactly what it should be like if he's dropped, but it almost makes sense for it to be smaller since he'd be settled into my pelvis. But either way, it is definitely a different shape. Today I noticed that I can eat more than I have been able to and I'm breathing a little bit better, so I think he's definitely dropped. I've read that this means I have about 2-4 weeks. I hope he does come early!

  1. Wow..this is a different format!! I like it. So glad you are doing good.. You and Aaron are special and we love both of you.. You are both such great kids and will be such great and loving parents. Jonah is going to the a lucky little boy to have parents like you. This has been such an exciting journey for all of us, and it's coming to an end with the greatest prize of all. You have both done such a wonderful job so far in making his entrance safe and secure. We can't wait to have him with our family!!
