Sophia is doing great and growing so fast! In the last two weeks, my belly has grown 4 centimeters, which in baby talk is faster than "typical". So she should be one healthy baby once she gets out. Right now she's gaining about a half-pound a week, which should put her at or around 6 pounds. There is absolutely no more room for my baby belly to grow, she's all the way up to my breast bone, so the only way to grow is out! (Although I really feel like I might explode at any moment). Her heart rate was at the lower side of normal, which is totally fine, just means that she is one cool, calm and collected baby (she definitely gets that from her Dad!) Her butt permanently resides in my right rib cage and her feet kick the left side. I think I might be permanently bruised, but its all worth it to feel her kick!
The rest of this week went better than the beginning. I had a few more meltdowns, but all in all we haven't seen the return of the dragon lady, at least not at the fire-breathing stage. :) I do however have a constant wet stripe on my belly from trying to wash my hands and getting the belly in the sink. Also new this week, most people when I pass them have stopped smiling at me and now have this look of concern that I'm about to burst and its going to be something they are going to have to handle. It makes me laugh. :)
We are on weekly appointments from here on out! Its going to go by so fast - she could be here as soon as a week from now or potentially as long as 3.5 more weeks! I can't wait to meet her!!!
