As of today, we have 34 days to the due date for little junior. The pregnancy is going as good as could possibly be expected. Jen is carrying the little Michelin extremely well, but you can finally tell that she’s pregnant.
Until this last week, she’s been gaining a mere 1/2 lb per week. This is the babies “plumping up” period and the weight gain has accelerated. Mama has developed a bit of amnesia, something other fathers have told me is quite normal. Personally, I think it’s quite fun.
Today she had the very first contraction that she felt. As I understand, it’s quite normal to have them sporadically in the last 6-8 weeks. I can tell exactly how far along she is by her answer to the “are you ready to get him out yet?” When the discomfort level exceeds the fear of giving birth, I’ll start keeping my hospital bag packed.
Jen, You look so cute in your picture. I am glad to hear that everything is going well.
