PREGNANCY NEWS & UPDATES

September 29 (39 weeks)
 
As I anticipated, I am still pregnant despite predictions by my midwives that I would be having a baby sooner than expected! I think this baby is LONG - I am measuring big still, which is no surprise to anyone who remembers my first two newborns. I feel uncertain about when this baby will make her way into the world - she seems quite comfortable inside for now. Every time I start to feel anxious to meet her and have her OUT< something happens that makes me glad she is still safe inside! :-) The last two days, my girls have had the stomach flu, and I can't help but think how much more difficult it would have been with a newborn to worry about! I am praying God will give me strength for the myriad tasks that will be more complex within the next few weeks!

Due Date:  October 7, 2006
Pregnancy Month:  Nine (weeks 35-40)
New developments this month:   Our baby is just finishing it's neurological development and putting on some "baby fat" this month. Two weeks until official "full term!"
