Pregnancy Update

The weeks are flying by. It's hard to believe I only have less than 5 weeks to go. There's still so much I need to do. According to my doctor I'm measuring small which is crazy because my belly looks ginormous, but apparently our baby is on the small side, she said he/she is probably only about 3-4 pounds.

I'm of course excited to meet the kid and finally find out if we are having a little boy or girl! I know pregnancies can be very different, I've been fortunate thus far to have a pretty easy and comfortable pregnancy (with the exception of the kidney stone). I'm still feeling well. We took a hypnobabies course and it has been so helpful, I feel like we already got our money back simply because I can sleep comfortably and feel pretty good because of the techniques we learned. We are also almost done with all the regular baby classes. I didn't think we needed them but Ben has been all for it, he loved learning how to swaddle, bathe and calm a fussy plastic baby. He even took notes during my "breastfeeding with success class". I'm sure he is going to make a great birth partner.

I still find it hard to believe I'm pregnant. You would think by now reality would have set in, but no. It's amazing to think what the female body is capable of doing. I've loved watching my body change. Sorry for the pregnancy info overload but nothing else going on is as exciting as the impending birth of our baby.
