I can't sleep. I can't move. I am nearing "well done" status!
I am 38 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. Baby girl #2 is roughly the size of a beach ball all curled up (or just the size of a newborn baby, perhaps...). She is about 20.5 inches and weighs in at about 6.75 pounds.
Here is a 38 week old fetus in the womb:

I had my ob appointment this morning and I am still where I was last week BUT she has dropped! I had lost a pound since last week but am told it is normal to stay the same or lose a little weight towards the end. Her heart rate was in the 150's - she's all excited. That's the highest hers has ever been. Usually it is in the 130's. My blood pressure looked good - I am shocked hearing that after yesterday.
I can no longer see my toes and will need to do a picture of that - "A View from the Top." I guess I also need to do another
This morning Jenna told me that her baby would be here "Halloween and she will be a pumpkin! HAHAHA" The midwife assured me I would not last until then. We will see...I am beginning to wonder. More on that in another post.
Our weekly dinner party plans are on for tonight but my Mom is bringing the food - lasagna.
