The Final Stretch - 36 weeks!

Wow, my ninth month! Well that is ninth calendar month, starting my tenth lunar month.

Bun is about 6 pounds this week, almost ready for the outside world. All systems almost a go :) It is getting harder and harder to get comfortable. Just sitting up straight is not that comfortable anymore, and any reclined position at all makes it difficult to breathe. I feel very very stretched! And Bun is constantly moving still. I'm thinking that I'm just in for it :) I have noticed that it does have little sleep cycles where it moves more like it's dreaming, but it's very uncommon for it to be still longer than 45 minutes. Some of it's movements take my breath away because they are in awkward places. It still loves to kick my ribs, but now it feels like it's grinding it's heel along them and then down my right side as hard as it can push. I guess I'd feel pretty cramped in there too. Hopefully not too much longer and it can have all the space it can get :) Bun also gets the hiccups now. I've felt them a few times, they are very rhythmical and last a long time, poor thing, how do you hold your breath when you don't breathe yet?

I start tomorrow with my weekly appointments, to see if anything is happening to get ready for the big day, so I'll probably update again this week if there is anything new :)
