How many more weeks?

I want to meet my baby! And pregnancy is starting to wear on me a little bit. I am having constant bank aches and I can't sleep very well at night anymore. And to make it worse, my job changed my hours again... 6:30-3... Arg... Alarm goes off at 5am now... But I do love what Brad says when I complain about anything job-related - "You only have how long now?" Thats why I love him... he keeps everything in perspective! But, after the baby is born I STILL won't get much sleep... but that is for a much better reason. :)

Girly has been slowing down a bit lately. She is running out of room. She does like to jab my ribs late at night. And I really love how she seems to know when I worry about her. Today, on two occassions I realized that she had not been moving for a bit. I started to worry, and about a second later, she rolled over. Thank goodness!

I just get so excited about thinking about her being born. I wonder when it will happen, and where I will go into labor. I think about what she will look like... My thought is that she will be on the smaller end, and with dark hair. Just my thought at least.

Anyway... we are down to only like, 60 days or so! And I like to think that I have only 5 to 9 weeks left. Praise the Lord!

Body Parts and Birthing Class

So... on Sunday we reached a new milestone (i swear, it came out of nowhere) - I can now feel BODY PARTS. SOOOO strange!!!! I mean, Brad and I can BOTH feel them, and it will be either (just a guess) a foot or a hand seemingly trying to escape and, get this, I can actually push is back. I have had SO MUCH FUN these past days... I will search for a arm, leg or whatever in there... gently nudge it, and wait for her to either tuck it back in or totally hit me. I love it! She must have put on that all importaint inch or ounce, cause it really came out of no where. On Sunday morning I said to Brad, "hey, feel this" and there it was. So insane!


And we start birthing classes tonight! I am already exausted, but it should be fun. We are all set with our pillows and blanket. Should be interesting!

Right on track...

Here is my belly shot... :)

I had my appointment today. She is measuring right on 29 weeks. Exactly where she needs to be. And the doc was able to tell me what position she is in. And I was way off. She is already head down and her back is to the left of my stomach. So what I feel protruding on the right side are her feet, and her hands that are tickling my bladder. And it makes total sense too. Cause I am always feeling those tickles and in the ultrasounds she was always moving her hands.

Anyway... thats about all. I am back in two weeks again. Seems like time is really flying now!

Tony Chestnut....(toe, knee, chest, nut)

I was asking Brad if he knew that song that goes "Bla bla knees and toes, knees and toes" But all he could come up with was a saying that his Grandpa would say "toe knee chest nut" I dunno... but it sounded funny...

Anyway, onto the point of the post... I think I have figured out how the girl is in there.
My guess is that she is transverse (laying sideways, not breech, not head down). I think her head is right under my right rib cage, her knees to the left of my belly button. Just my guess... There are times where she has to be moving every single part of her, cause the movements are so insane. Earlier I was feeling her head protrude.... and then a real hard tightness right by my belly button. Right now I think she is tickeling my bladder with her toes.
