I'm pretty sure the baby
I’m pretty sure the baby has “dropped.” My tummy is sagging more than it used to and I feel a lot more pressure on my cervix. This makes things exceedingly uncomfortable. I can kiss a good night’s sleep goodbye. Some people have tried to reassure me that it’s just my body’s way of preparing me for the sleepless nights I’ll spend with a newborn. Somehow, that’s not a very comforting thought. I’d rather my body allow me get as much sleep as possible now rather than depriving me both now and later. Oh well. Every bit of this is worth the end result.
I’m looking forward to my doctor’s appointment on Monday afternoon. She’ll be able to tell me if he has dropped and how he’s positioned. I can’t tell how he’s got himself situated. It’s surprisingly hard to tell what the various lumps in my stomache are caused by…is that his head or his hind end? A foot or a hand? Anyway, I’ll be holding my sweet baby in a very short period of time. I can hardly wait! Now, if Robert and I could only settle on a name…
