It feels like I have gone through a belly growth spurt. They say your baby gains the most weight in the last month of your pregnancy, and I suspect my belly is proof!
Yesterday I felt some relief in my ability to breathe and the pressure on my stomach has gone down. But, my hip pain and pregnancy waddle have kicked up 10 fold. They say that only FTM's experience lightening but this babe has certainly made a small transition into my pelvis.
Throughout this pregnancy I have had to luxury of sleeping really well. However, over the last few weeks my sleeping patterns have been disrupted with what I suspected was the need to pee. But, I kept hearing this sound when I woke up and my throat was really dry. Duh, it finally became evident to me that I was waking myself up with MY OWN SNORING. I made some adjustments to my pillow palace, and started using my nasal spray again, as well as breathe right strips and I am back to sleeping well (and I use well within the context of being 9 months pregnant and huge).
The kids are getting excited about the birth and upcoming changes. I am trying to plan and forecast the best I can for how our life will change, but you can never really plan for it... Our nursery is set up, clothes washed, diapers purchased, gear staged and car seats on order. I need to pack my hospital bag and get a plan of action for who is going to take care of the kiddo's once I go into labor.
