Baby Wags is movin and groovin these days! We’re 36 weeks and I swear there must be a dance party going on in my belly to celebrate. It’s still so amazing! Well, except when little feet get caught in my ribs. J But that’s ok I’m sure my ribs will recover. Baby Wag’s heart rate is strong at 150 bpm and our doctor said that baby is head down. Praise God! As we approach our expected due date (Jan 13th) we’ve graduated to weekly doctor appointments now. So our next one is coming up on Thursday! Chad and I went on our birthing tour at Toledo Hospital yesterday. There were about 5 other couples participating. We must have looked pretty funny roaming the halls. I told Chad I felt like we were in a pregnancy parade (a bunch of pregnant ladies accompanied by husbands who were trying their best not to look overwhelmed)! So now we’ve got the lay of the land. It’s just so awesome to think that in a few short weeks we’ll be there for one of the biggest moments of our lives! In other news, physically I’m doing great! Chad kindly pointed out that my belly now sticks out “about a foot!” He always knows the right things to say…J. I went back to the ENT doctor to have my nose cauterized again because my nosebleeds started up regularly. Hopefully this will last the rest of my pregnancy. Sleep is quite interesting these days. Not only have I’ve turned into the Macgyver of pillow stacking to curb the late night heartburn but I also mimic the movement of a rotisserie chicken. Rotating each night from my right side, to my back, to my left side, then back to my right side and repeat. Thank goodness Chad is a heavy sleeper so he’s typically unfazed by new antics. All in all everything is just fantastic and our excitement is growing each and every day! To capture this special time my friend Sarah Kraft snapped some maternity photos for us. She’s a very gifted photographer and we look forward to sharing these with baby Wag’s.
