Bubby is 36 weeks today. His head is mostly engaged now, though he does twist around a little during his afternoon naps. His most active moments are usually around 6-7pm (just before dinner time) and from 11pm-1am. Sigh. I guess his clock isn't too different from his parents.
He is now low enough and big enough to cause some discomfort to the pelvis, which seems to be a common malady at 34+ weeks. according to all the forums I read online. Sitting can be uncomfortable if I slouch even slightly, because the uterus is already up to my lungs. And Bubby likes to wriggle his feet into my ribs when he has an active spell.
4 more weeks before I'm officially due. And I can probably expect Bubby anytime after I hit 38 weeks. Our prayer is that he stays put at least till the 20th of Nov. This is because T has a number of gigs and rehearsals from the 14th-18th of Nov and it would be quite chaotic if I went into labour then. Besides, mom only arrives on the 20th of Nov as well. A 39 week old baby would be perfect (I don't think I would want to carry him any much longer. The uterus, baby, placenta and fluid are already all very heavy)
I am thankful to God for a relatively problem free pregnancy besides those awful first 3 months of indigestion, bloating, nausea and vomiting. After that, a good diet, almost daily exercise and keeping busy seemed help me cruise along in great health.
Last few singing gigs to finish up this week. Some performance, some recording. Then I can really concentrate on moving furniture and getting Bubby's clothes ready (and my own of course).
