What size is baby: honeydew melon, 18 inches and 5.25 lbs
Movement: We are in the "running out of room" phase. He must be super squished because everywhere I feel on my belly is a little body part! He continues to be super active, but the movement is less tickling and more pushing and stretching. He gets the hiccups at least once a day and, like clockwork, as soon as I lay down to sleep at night. He's a big boy now and it makes my whole body shake. I have to wait until his hiccups pass to finally fall asleep. I'm also happy to report that he has settled into a head-down position ("locked and loaded" as I like to say) and both my midwife and chiropractor think there is little chance of him flipping. Good boy!
New symptoms: No new symptoms thankfully. Other than the discomfort that comes with growing a planet in my belly! :)
Cravings: I think my cravings have more to do with what I can't find here in Norway than pregnancy! I'd love for someone to ship me some Tillamook cheddar cheese, Stubb's BBQ sauce, York peppermint patties, and Taco Cabana!! K thanks!
Sleep: I'm continuing to sleep very well which is totally out of the norm for me! I'm so very thankful for the good rest I'm getting now as I'm sure I'll miss it once he's born.
Rings on/off: on
Best memory of the week: Writing our birth plan. I'm very much looking forward to giving birth here in Norway. I feel like their approach is much more aligned with our wishes for labor than I had found in the US (I'm thinking of writing a post about this for more details.) However, because of the significant issues I've had with SPD, I will have certain limitations during my labor. I'm so thankful to have a partner that is a willing and engaged participant in this process!
Looking forward to: seeing his little face for the first time. I'm predicting he is going to be totally bald or rocking some blond peach fuzz. I'll be shocked if he doesn't have blue or hazel eyes, and he will hopefully have plump little lips...just like his Pops!
