Well, we're now officially 1/2 way to 40 weeks! We've had a good baby week with starting our Bradley classes (1 down, 9 to go), doing squats, cat and cow stretches, butterflies, relaxation techniques (Doug gets to give Maleia a massage for 5 minutes a day! Lucky guy!), belly breathing, and formally logging nutritional intake.
It has also been a week full of sideways glances at Maleia's belly, head nods, and smiles, as it is finally becoming apparent that she didn't just pack on some Christmas weight! She weighs about 7 pounds more than when she initially got pregnant (remember, she then lost 4 pounds the first trimester from the all-day nauseousness) and given her renewed appetite, more should be on the way. Especially given how she knows the baby likes ice cream, eggs, and waffles with peanut butter!
Baby Lake hit another milestone this week as s/he did a 'moonwalk' by walking from the left side of Maleia's belly over to the right in 5-6 steps! Now if there was only some way we could get a treadmill and a punching bag in there for the overnight hours; then Maleia could get more sleep! Don't kid yourself, though, she loves it!

I can't wait to see you - when do we get to see you guys again? Surely we don't have to wait clear until April right!
ReplyDeleteYep...that belly is sticking out there! I think it's more than last week! Baby Lake is smart...ice cream, eggs, and waffles with PB! MMMMM! You're looking great. Always enjoy those movements...it will be the one thing you miss!
