It is so strange to say that I am already 35 weeks pregnant. It feels as if this whole thing has just flown by. I still feel a little bit sad about it all coming to an end. I will miss having a constant connection to Bodhi...I will never have that again. It makes me tear up when I think about it. At the same time, I can't wait to watch him grow. I can't wait to meet him.
I am feeling pretty nervous about delivery. I wasn't feeling nervous until people started asking me if I was over the past week or so. Now I feel like that is all I can think about. I know it will be fine, and the outcome will be amazing of course. I just hope I can find the strength to get through it. I won't really have a choice. :-)
We had our doctors appointment today. We will start going every week now to be checked. Today they listened to Bodhi's heartbeat...and he kicked the doppler the second she put it on my stomach. He either really wants to play soccer, or he just wants his privacy. :-) His heart rate was good. My blood pressure was a little bit low, but nothing to worry about they said. They also measured my stomach and said that it is just slightly bigger than normal, but it too looks good. We then just sat with Dr. G and talked about what to look for as labor approaches. I think i may be that mother that calls every time I think something is up. I may drive Jake, and the rest of the family, nuts as I start experiencing all the changes my body will go through over the next few weeks. Oh well.
As for Bodhi, he is kicking and moving all of the time. They are the kind of kicks that take my breath away because they scare me and usually nail me in the ribs. People warned me that this would happen but I really had no idea what to expect. It is a feeling that no one can describe to you. As painful as it is, I will miss it when it's gone. It is a pretty good trade of though, don't you think?
