You spin me right round baby

Dearest of Bambino,

This is a letter of thanks. After our wild night for my birthday last Thursday, involving Hot water, wine and lots of rest, you flipped. Our Midwife appointment was the next day, and after spending quality time discussing my options as far as breech babies go, she examined me only to discover your little head wedged contentfully in my pelvis. Just where you belong.

May you stay content and fully in my pelvis till the day you decide to open your eyes to the outside!

You have become a very very active little'un these days. I can feel little limbs moving back and forth along the front of my stomach. You are also now in the exact (or at least incredibly similar) position that your brother was in. This means that you are wedging you bum up by mama's ribs. Yes I remember that one very clearly. Not an exceptionally comfortable feeling for me as I sit, but complaints, I have none!

We are at 33 weeks now, I have gained 30 (ish) pounds and I feel great! I have also began to truly take advantage of Rohan's nap time by going down for a nap as well. Oh how I love a good afternoon nap.

Well your father is trying to convince me to watch Wolfman with him. We will see, it looks pretty gorey to me!

Love you little bird,

Love Mama

A blanket of bliss

Dear baby bird,

We are on week 32 now and I am definitely feeling pregnant! I have started the trend of sleeping in a blanket and pillow oasis. Pillows under my head, under my hips, between my knees......there is barely any room in the bed for daddy these days!

You are slowing down your activity quite a bit, unless I have some sugary treat, than you are all over the place!! Your head is still up, which worries me quite a bit. We have little discussions about the comfort that you could obtain from having your head snug in my pelvis and not up in my ribs. You haven't paid heed as of yet! I also spend a bit of time in different positions to get you to move as well as a nice visualization of your bum popping out of my pelvis and you doing a nice acrobatic turn. It looks like fun in my head anyway.

Your big brother and I have caught a cold although it hasn't offered too much in the way of energy loss for him, all I can think about is laying around and sleeping. I guess it takes a bit more of toll on you when you are on your last legs of pregnancy. It is hard to believe how close we are now! I don't know about your daddy, but I am getting pretty anxious to find out your sex. Not that I think it will bring us any closer to finding you a name. You may be the second of our nameless children...............at least for the first little while!

Well I think I am going to curl back up in my blanketed bliss while your daddy spends some time with Rohan. I will write again soon!

I love you

Love Mama
