Weeks 33-36 (Month 8): Honeydew


"Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month."

Holy crap! Tristan is now the size of a honeydew and he's going to get bigger! That is so crazy to me. Somewhere between 4 and 8 weeks I am going to be a mom. It is coming so fast and I don't feel prepared at all. The baby shower with my friends is at my house today and the one with my family is next weekend at my aunt's house, so hopefully that will help a lot. Then I will know what else I need to buy for my little guy.

My ribs and back have been feeling much better. I had my last physical therapy appointment yesterday and she did some more work on my ribs and spine. I was really sore afterwards, but now I feel amazing. She said that if the pain gets really bad again I just need to call. I'm so grateful my OB referred me to her, or I would still be in excruciating pain not knowing what to do with myself.

When Tristan moves I can see little feet, little knees, little elbows, and sometimes little hands trying to poke through my belly. LOL! He is doing so well. My next appointment with my OB is in three days. The appointments are always so short, but I look forward to hearing his heartbeat each time I go. That's my favorite sound in the world at the moment.

I'll be going on maternity leave in six more weeks! YAY!!! My last day will be August 21st and I will be going back October 19th. Well, as long as everything goes according to plan and Tristan doesn't decide to make an appearance before then. LOL! I am getting so anxious and excited! I can't wait to meet him!!! =)
