He predicts a July baby! I sure hope I go in to labor naturally in July and not by induction. I hear that the pitocin from induction makes for very painful contractions. With pitocin, the contractions never let up, but with natural contractions, you get a break in between them...so I hear from birthing class.
We have one more Monday night of birthing class. I just finished my breast feeding class and then we take the hospital tour and register on July 7th.
Here's the full scoop from my doctor appointment yesterday: The baby is already 6 pounds and has dropped some, but not all the way yet. I can definitely tell he's lower and bigger because it's harder to get out of bed or off the floor and some of my shirts barely cover the bottom part of my belly. I am now 33 weeks. My next doctor appointment is in 2 weeks and they'll do a strep B test. I have no idea what that is, so I guess I better research it.
My fingers and feet are starting to stay consistently swollen, but just a little bit. It's just enough to make my rings tight, but they still fit on me.
This weekend is Brandon and Erin's wedding, thankfully I've had a very healthy and easy pregnancy and that I'm not on bedrest! I made it through Steph's wedding, so now it's just one more to go. Although, my other baby shower is on June 28th, so I need to make it to that, then Connor can come anytime he wants!
To Connor: When you can read, I want you to know that you are a VERY active baby in the womb. You never stop kicking or punching, but that's reassuring to me that you are okay. You always kick and punch on my right side. You kick and punch hard enough that I can watch my whole stomach move up, down, and sideways. Swaddling you in blankets might be hard if you continue to kick and punch this much outside of the womb. Are you going to have your father's head because the doctor said your head is really big. I'm afraid how painful that will be during delivery!
