It's smack in the middle of the summer and it's hot like we are being baked everyday. Adding on some pounds and you have a recipe of a hot summer mess. Wait, i'm just talking about myself. At times i wonder how people in Iraq stay pregnant. I'm in my summer dresses most days and it's still taking a toll on me. I don't think i can even go to the pool this week due to this heat wave and the warning that's been all over the news.
I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow. That means the baby will be here in less than 6 weeks. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Deonn and I would watch the birth videos and that did nothing for me but scared me even more. I do not know how i'll do it. Part of me just wanted to do the elective C-sections but the other part of me is saying that is not the smartest thing to do. I did ask my doctor about it and of course it's not recommended, so we'll just wait and see how things progress.
The baby bump has been growing steadily. I can see veins popping out everywhere. She's over 4lbs now so i wonder if there's enough room for her to wiggle in there. Most of the time, she'd kick me on the top of my belly. Assuming that's where her feet are, i try to grab her sometimes. I have to lean back sometimes to give her some space and myself some room to breath. My belly would get lopsided when she moves to the right, which she does a lot. I can't really make out the elbows and stuff like most people do. But i do feel her body parts poking out. Deonn can talk nonstop at times, i wonder if the baby is bored of his voice yet. But no doubt she will recognize his voice when she comes out.
Apparently, i've been doing my math wrong. I started out at 95lbs and currently at 122lbs. For some reasons, i've been thinking that i had gained 22 lbs, when in fact it's a whooping 27 lbs. That's almost 30 lbs, i'm sure i'll pass that once i reach 40 weeks. Technically speaking, i'm within the range, but when you look at the number, it's just beyond me.
So this chart shows where i'm at with the weight gain.
This past weekend, we went to the beach. It was technically the only vacation Deonn and I have together this whole summer. It was a good time, we took a walk on the beach and it seemed that i was the only pregnant woman there. LOL. We did go into the water even though it was really cold. I wanted to jump the waves but Deonn wouldn't let me. For one second i told him to let go of me, and bam, the waves knocked me over. I lost balance due to the huge belly and stumbled under the water. It wasn't really a "fall" but i did land on my arms and thighs. Deonn was over dramatic about it and called a time out immediately. He wouldn't even speak to me until the baby started kicking again. I think i scared the baby off for a minute, she was quiet until an hour or so later. Overall, i hope she enjoyed her beach trip.
