We're now counting down in days instead of weeks or months until Ally's arrival. Eeek! I still feel totally unprepared and have a long list of things to do. I remember starting to get impatient for Sophia's arrival at this point with her pregnancy, but this time around, I'm hoping Ally stays comfy in my belly until her due date.Overall I'm feeling relatively good, but I'm starting to have more fatigue, contractions, heartburn, and all the other fun stuff that goes along with the end of pregnancy. I've also started getting some swelling in my ankles, especially after I eat a high sodium meal. I'm thankful it's flip-flop season so I don't have to try and squeeze my cankles into regular shoes, but it is kinda fun to make indentions in them with my fingers!
My last doctor's appt was quick and boring. Baby was kicking like crazy and my weight and blood pressure are great. We actually ended up talking more about my doctor than me - she announced that she's 18 weeks pregnant after having 5 miscarriages, so I'm thrilled for her.
Sophia seems to be the most anxious about Ally's arrival. She's always talking about what life will be like with a baby sister. She points out where the baby will sit in the shopping cart, where the baby will sit in the car, where the baby will sleep, how she'll hold the baby, etc. A couple weeks ago she said "I want Bamy Assyn to come out Mommy's tummy today!" Totally made me melt! I just hope her enthusiasm about being a big sister continues.
