Week 31

Two months until the baby’s due date of April 5th, and a lot to accomplish before then! This semester is already flying past. This week I will hand in my dissertation topic and start contemplating my end-of-term assignments, which I am striving to complete by April 1.

The baby is growing and getting more and more active. This week, it will reach 18 inches and over three pounds. It’s still enjoying laying horizontally. Sometimes, when its little bottom is pressing hard on one side of my abdomen, Jason says it makes me look like I put my belly on crooked because there’s an obvious bulge on one side but not the other.

I got a big exercise ball to sit on while I type at the computer. It will help promote better posture and hopefully alleviate some of the tailbone pain I’ve been getting recently. Tomorrow, I go to my health clinic for a midwife-led workshop on breastfeeding. I also get pampered by a free pregnancy massage on Saturday!

Here’s a picture of Jason making me ‘pose’ and subsequently laugh at the camera!
