I’ve moved from my regular belly-watch backdrop for this week’s shot. Here I am in the front yard this morning, with Joe’s truck and lots of snow behind me. It’s so deep!

38 week update

The little one has officially “dropped” (also known as lightening). This means that her head is firmly engaged in my pelvis, and that my ribs only feel like 100 daggers are constantly pressing into them instead of 10,000. She has settled into one position most of the time, with her back toward my front, along my left side. From there, she sticks out her butt on my left and her feet on my right. I like to think of her being in a pike position. I tried to demonstrate it for Joe the other night but it’s not so easy to recreate outside the uterus.

Week 36 Update

Week 36 brings lots of fun in the form of my pelvis expanding in ways I didn’t know it could. Yoga this week was a particular challenge.
Yesterday was my last day in the office - I’m now officially working from home until my leave starts on the 17th. I can’t overstate how excited I am not to be commuting for three months.
