I've also made a conscious effort during this pregnancy to not compare it to Brendan or Katelyn's, so that I'm not thinking more boy or more girl. It's definitely been my most challenging pregnancy. I have continued to have nausea at times during the day (usually after eating) despite being 3/4 of the way through! Some people theorize that you are sicker with girls, but I know lots of moms who were sick with their sons. My theory is that I'm older and have gotten sicker with each pregnancy. Of course, I have still gained 30 pounds and am on track to hit 40 pounds just like the previous two pregnancies. I also feel more tired this time around - never seemed to have the joyous 2nd trimester with a bunch of extra energy to get things accomplished. Oh well! The nesting instinct has started to kick in - which is good, since baby will be here in just over 9 weeks!
A rare picture from this pregnancy:
See below for a link to a "game" to guess baby's gender and size. Baby's heart rate is consistently in the 130s-140s at each appointment.
Feel free to guess the date/time as well, but I am scheduled for a repeat C-section on March 11th at 8am. ;) Granted, I have had more Braxton-Hicks contractions with this pregnancy than the previous two, so I guess there is a chance I won't make it to that date, but then again, I went 41 weeks and 4 days with Katelyn!
This baby will be born at 39 weeks and 2 days. Brendan and Katelyn were each 8 pounds and 2 or 3 oz. (Can't remember which was which at this point.) and 21 and 21 1/2 inches long if that helps you with your weight/length guesses. :)
At this point, there are no fabulous prizes for the winner, but who knows, I might just come up with something! :)
