Good news at this weeks appointment – baby is head down!  I still have no idea how the doctor can really tell, but she seemed pretty confident.  I do feel like the baby has “settled” into a comfortable position, as I normally feel the baby along the right side of my body, with legs/feet up top.  Jason and I are just happy that we don’t have to worry about a breech baby anymore.  We are enjoying watching and feeling our tiny baby moving around, especially now that we have a better idea of what it is we are feeling and seeing!  Everything else was good at the appointment.  Still measuring right on track at 34 cm and the heart rate was in the 140s and my blood pressure is still normal.

I am still feeling pretty good.  I have had a cold this week that has been very slowly progressing and doesn’t seem to want to go away, so that has been annoying.  My feet and hands have also started to swell a little bit.  Last Monday (Labor day) Jason and I spent most of the day cleaning the house and my feet were very swollen at the end of the day!  My rings are starting to get pretty tight too, so I have been just wearing my wedding band in fear I won’t be able to get them off.  I am still sleeping pretty well most nights.  About once a week or so I will have a bad night of sleep, but most nights I sleep all night and only get up once to go to the bathroom.  Some nights, however, it seems as though the cats are determined to wake me up every hour and I have a hard time falling back asleep.  Overall though, I feel like I can’t complain about my sleep!

The nursery is now complete and we are buying the last few things that we need.  I had my last shower this weekend so now we are planning on making a trip to Buy Buy Baby in the next few weeks to buy a few last things.  I am so amazed by the generosity of our friends and family.  We received so many wonderful gifts, there is hardly anything else that we need!

I can’t believe I only have 6 weeks left until my due date.  I will post more pics of the showers and nursery soon!
