Just a Little Baby Update

So, since I'm basically using this as my journal now (I think that everyone else is doing the same thing with their blogs too!) I wanted to take note of a few things so that I don't forget so if I ever do get around to writing in my real journal I'll have dates and stuff to reference. :)

Anyway, Baby Girl is still growing strong, she likes to get into little shoving matches with me. I only have 5 weeks until her due date, which I am way excited about! I started having Braxton Hicks about 2 1/2 weeks ago (around November 4th or 5th?) and actually had to leave my training class because I couldn't hide my discomfort, so I put them on an activity and went to the lobby to lay down. On the 6th though, I woke up feeling like a rockstar and found out that she had dropped! So since then I've had more braxton hicks and people have noted that she sits lower, and otherwise I'm just swollen and uncomfortable almost all of the time. Luckily I'm in my last training class right now, so after Friday I won't be teaching for 7 1/2 hours a day and I'll be able to take it easier and won't have to stress about pre-term labor like I was when I thought I would be training until 38 1/2 weeks (don't worry, that class was cancelled!) :) And last but not least, I've already gained 40 pounds, which I wasn't too thrilled about but at the same time I'm really not too concerned about. We'll see how I feel after she's born though. :) (Anyone want to lose weight with me next year?)

So yeah, that's my baby update. I go in again on December 3rd when I'll be 37 weeks so we'll see where I'm at then. I can't wait to meet my little girl! I know that no one else will be interested in this post, but I'm so excited and want to make sure that I have a record of even the little things! :)
