Well, usually I like attending the special events that my company sponsors, but when you are eight months pregnant it's not quite as fun! My back and my feet were killing me by the end of the night! Otherwise, I'm still feeling great and enjoying these last weeks of pregnancy. Now that I'm almost there, I'll share with you the latest updates and things I've learned along the way...
- Most of my expectations about pregnancy weren't exactly realistic.
- I haven't "forgotten" the morning sickness like people told me I would.
- Feeling the baby move in your belly is the most amazing experience!
- Everyone has guessed that I'm having a boy including clients, construction workers and even a homeless guy! Not one person has looked at me and guessed I'm having a girl - very interesting!
- I've put on twenty pounds so far, but I've tried to go with the flow in that area. I never knew that the weight gain could be so sporadic. I put on 7 1/2 pounds one month and actually lost 2 pounds another!
- My food cravings have changed drastically from month to month - there was a Spaghetti-O phase, a chips and salsa phase, a Pop-tart phase and a major Taco Bell bean burrito phase.
- According to my doctor's 2-second stomach evaluation, Asher should be about 7 1/2 pounds at delivery - we'll see!
- I was told that Asher is in the correct position for natural childbirth with his head down. His heartbeat is great, and his growth is right on schedule.
-We probably have a couple of weeks left before the big day, but we'll keep you up to date!!!
