Eight weeks left...

In just a short eight more weeks, little Taylor is due to enter this world!

I had my 32 week appointment on Monday and it went very well. The doc said Taylor was in the head-down position and prepared to come out, and that she is a good size - not too large, not too small. This was a bit reassuring because I was a little concerned that she was going to be a very large baby like my brother and me. Who knows what will happen in the next eight weeks, but if I stay on track, she should be relatively on time and hopefully a good size. My weight is still gradually going up - about a pound a week. Not sure if this trend will continue, but I'm not going to worry myself about it. I'm hopeful that it will all come off after Taylor joins us. The growing belly is definitely becoming more cumbersome, though...it's getting a little more difficult to sleep at night. I think it's harder for me to fall asleep than anything, but once I'm asleep, I sleep OK. I do wake up, though, everytime I try to roll over...:)

Otherwise, things are going well - very minimal swelling in my feet at the end of the day, and I still have energy to move around, walk around, exercise. My lower back is sore by the end of the day, but not bad enough to immobilize me. Thank goodness. I'm still waiting for that morning when I wake up and my belly is just enormous...it's still growing pretty gradually now, so I can't really notice the difference...

Enough, enough! Hope everyone's new year is getting off to a great start!

Love,
Rosa and Jeff
