Whew. I've officially made it through to the ninth month of pregnancy! I am due in exactly 4 weeks. Eeek! So much to prepare still, with Thanksgiving, reunions, and my niece's first birthday in there too! My to do list just keeps growing longer and longer, instead of crossing things off I just keep adding them.
But, besides all the mayhem, I am so excited. I had another ultrasound this week... baby is doing a lot better. For those of you who didn't know, about a month ago my doctor was a little concerned that my stomach was so small still. Not "so small" but, smaller than average, and not growing consistently. So she sent me for an ultrasound; turns out Raspberry was actually averaging larger than normal... but mostly due to her ginormous head. :/ I was 33.5 weeks at the time, and her head was measuring around 36, with her body just lagging a little at 32.5. My ultrasound this week showed that her head only moved up to 37 weeks (still ahead of schedule), but that her body has caught up significantly and is just under 36 weeks. And at this point they are no longer concerned, it could be genetics (my father has a huge noggin'), or it could be error (her head is actually really low in my abdomen, so low its hard for them to get a measurement, which is also why my stomach isn't as big as its expected to be... she's hiding. :P). But all in all she's healthy, she's moving like mad, and still pulled a million and one faces for the ultrasound pictures... but didn't give anyone the finger this time.
As for me... I'm doing good. Cooking up a storm, I have a couple recipes I'm going to try out today... and a cookbook I'm dying to get into. And I have a super secret project that I think would be really cool if I decide to do it. More on that later. My back is being pretty achy though, but that's to be expected, right? I just have to be careful how much I stand in one spot - walking seems to help though, in small amounts.
Anyways, I'm going to go make some London Fog Cupcakes! I'll let you know how that goes.
