Christina is Active! I think she moves more than she sleeps! This may be one reason my sleep has become so sparse but I'd much rather feel her moving than sleep anyways. Last night, John had his hand on my belly and I think she kept him awake as well with all her movements.
I am getting more uncomfortable as the weeks progress with back and side pains (even my belly button feels like it is getting stretched) but that seems to go with pregnancy. My belly has certainly never been this large before. Depending on how she is laying, I measure anywhere from 39 to 40.5 inches around! (Much different from the 20 something waist I had before)
I have begun reading Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way so that has me all keyed up for labor. I have even begun to wish I could go through labor twice so that I could experience both midwives, (the second time around should be easier anyways) and what I need to do would be so fresh in my mind but... I would still only end up with one baby so I guess I'll be happy with one labor for each baby!
Our sweet baby is growing all the time. According to my Week by Week book, she now weighs approximately 4.5 pounds with a head to bum length of 12 inches, and a total length of nearly 19.5 inches. (If only they had a guess of how powerful her kicks can be!)
