I am actually not that nervous and am all prepared...so my schedule pretty much consists of taking it easy and waiting for baby to arrive. I am starting to feel quite huge and my belly keeps knocking into everything. The scale says I am currently packing about 27 lbs. extra at this point. Still within reason but scary nonetheless. I have came to the conclusion that I will need to have my legs waxed by a professional. I know things are amazon-like down there, but I just can't seem to reach them without fear of cutting a major vein and bleeding to death. Oh the joys. Perhaps a pedicure will be in order as well. Bright red toes has to do wonders for a pregnant woman's spirit. Let's hope.
Baby Crocker took a long time to get its first hiccups, but has been pretty consistent since then. Usually about two times a day. Now that he/she is head down, this makes for quite a sensation in my lower abdomen. The baby has also taken to playing the chopsticks on my ribs with its feet.
I had another prenatal appointment on Tuesday (May 3rd). After the scare last time, I was a bit nervous. Knowing that I hadn't ate before my last appointment and that the baby was also sleeping, I decided to do things differently this time. Just before my appointment I had a chai latte, a chocolate dipped shortbread and a fruit smoothie. While I was in the waiting room the baby started doing the sugar dance and my belly was quite funny to watch. When my doctor put the doppler on my belly there was no mistaking the heartbeat. It was a whopping 152 bpm. The highest it has ever been. Giddy up...it sounded like a galloping horse. Again, I sincerely believe that Baby Crocker will pay me back for all these schenanigans. I am self-professed neurotic, what can I say?
I think that is all for now. I will check back in with another update soon.
