Full-term (yay!) little XP is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day and getting his first sticky poop (called meconium) ready. He's also brushing up on skills for the outside world: blinking, sucking, inhaling, exhaling, and gripping (it's getting strong!). So at this point whenever he decides to come the doctors will not do anything to stop him and he will thrive!
We are doing good. We are trying to plan our last trip out to New Buffalo, MI for the weekend - we figure it will be our last chance to just do something the 2 of us. Although it is hard for me to leave our house I feel like there is so much to do and not a lot of time to do it. But everyone tells me to go-- get out of the house and enjoy it will all still be there when I get home! I am hoping to get a massage and John is hoping to do a little wine tasting. A little bit won't hurt at this point for me either.
I will send more photos of the bump - it is getting really big now and boy is he strong. The kicking and turning are making it difficult to stand and walk. Also I have been experiencing lots of pain in my legs -- I think he likes sitting on some kind of nerve. :)
On Monday we go to the doctor and we will have an ultrasound to check if his head is down and how much growth he has had.
I think I am done with this pregnancy thing - I am ready to meet this little man I have been caring around!
Thanks for reading talk to you all soon!
