7.5 weeks til due date....

Since the last post we went to another birthing class, took the hospital tour, and I started prenatal water aerobics.  Also, pete did some finishing touches to the nursery and steam cleaned the carpets, so that was a fun surprise!....and unrelated to the baby, finished my MBA!!!  So that is why the baby probably has a big head - it is going to be smart!!  So i am done with classes and graduation is June 19th, so I have a very cute outfit in Kellogg colors for Ashley to wear to graduation -how fun!

The doctor's appt was re-assuring, I gained no weight (!!) and in fact even lost 0.2 lbs - so that made my day.  Also, the last appt with the big baby news on the ultrasound left me a little freaked out, but the doctor just said we'll talk after the 37 week ultrasound to come up with a plan that everyone - namely me and pete - agree with.  If its still tracking really big, then we'll make some decisions, otherwise they let lots of big babies progress naturally.

So i am still feeling pretty good, although I have downgraded from "great."  Most of the time I feel perfectly fine, but going from sitting to standing and walking alot is really bothersome because I have round ligament pain and it basically feels like a pulled groin muscle, so even with stretching, nothing other than giving birth really makes it go away.

So thats it for this week....pics are below.  I do look bigger but weigh the same as two weeks ago!
