At our 37 week ultrasound yesterday we learned that Giada is measuring about 7 pounds. She is in the perfect position for labor/delivery and her head is low. I am dilated 1 cm and having contractions off and on. We are beginning to wonder if she will have a July or August birthday. My guess is August.
It is still crazy hot! My whole life I'm always cold so it is a different feeling to sit inside with the a/c and a fan blowing on me to try to keep me comfortable. Before pregnancy I would spend my summer afternoons on the couch reading or watching TV under a blanket because the a/c would make me cold - not this summer.
Brian and I feel as though we are ready for Giada whenever she decides to make her grand entrance into this world (as ready as any new parents can be). We are both getting anxious and excited. We wake up and wonder if this will be the day.
I am trying to relax as much as possible, but I like staying somewhat busy because it helps the days go by quicker. Some days I have more energy than others. I just take it day by day and if I feel like doing nothing then I don't. If my energy is high enough to clean or whatever else then I do. Its hard when people tell you to get as much sleep as you can. I want to, but its getting more and more difficult because I have to admit at this point it can be difficult to get comfortable. Most nights I still sleep great, but there are those few that I'm exhausted but can't sleep. I'm sure its a low level attempt for mother nature to let me know what is coming.
I'm still walking about a mile or so every morning with Wrigley. We get up early and try to beat the heat. I'm also keeping up with yoga. I honestly don't know what I'd do without yoga. I feel so good on my yoga days and it calms all my stress and stretches me in all the right places.
Hehe.. would you just look at that belly!!! :) My grandbaby is ready to announce her arrival...lol :) Jess, you are such a trooper, I know this can't be easy with all this heat. Just can't wait to meet her :) xoxo
