My little boy is due to be born...today I'm officially 6 months pregnant, wow! I wanted to have a picture to post to go along with today's blog, but Lee has been so busy and we've barely been together long enough the last few days for him to take my picture. Maybe tonight.
All of my reading says that our baby boy bun is about 2 1/2 pounds now and could be up to 11 inches long. Well, I'll tell you that I've definitely started to feel a difference in the way that he moves. Instead of feeling little kicks and flickers of something in my belly, the movements are much bigger (stronger) and more intense. At times, parts of my belly actually feel harder than others and I can only imagine it's because our boy's head or butt is right up against me - wild! I can't wait until I start seeing the outline of feet and hands. Does that really happen?
In other news, I am running to the bathroom SO much these days and told Lee last night that I think if I wanted to, I could literally go every 1/2 hour.
Sleeping is getting a little more uncomfortable because I'm getting SO hot in the middle of the night that I can't stand it. Also, according to Lee, I now snore - ah! I have never snored before in my life (that I know of) and I KNOW that since living with him I haven't been a snorer. I've heard that this is a normal occurrence with pregnancy and find it very funny. I do admit that I have woken myself up a few times lately because of the snoring :)
Walking is going quite well - I've been following the Doctor's orders and walking at least 20 minutes a day except for Sunday when I did yoga and figured it replaced my walking for the day. It's actually felt really good to be active again and I highly recommend it to all preggo women.
So that's it for the first day of my 6th month of pregnancy. Wow, how time flies! Imagining holding our little boy in 3 months is so exciting and overwhelming all at the same time...I can't WAIT!
