Jonathan has taken to calling me Mama Bear, and referring to himself as Papa Bear. Therefore, our little one is Baby Bear now! I have to say, I think it’s the best nickname I have ever had!
Baby Bear is doing fabulous. He weighed in today at 5 lbs, and he’s got his head down just like he ought to be! Of course, that means he’s found the joy in kicking Mama Bear in my ribs, but I guess I can deal with that! I think he turned down on Labor Day because I woke up and felt like I had gained 20 lbs! His little bum was sticking out, so I actually LOOKED as pregnant as I have felt! When I went to work the next day, Nicki looked at me with shock and said, “You got pregnant overnight!” I laughed and told her it didn’t take a whole night. :-) So, he’s healthy and seems to be loving his lair.
I am also doing great, and the doctors think I am going to be full-term! My tests are actually looking normal now, and I am feeling better than I have all year. (Which is pretty much the whole pregnancy.) I still get really dizzy and worn out easily, but I am mostly dealing with “normal” pregnancy symptoms and not all the other complications. So, I suddenly feel like maybe I’ll make it through labor and delivery after all!
So, that’s our update. Mama Bear and Papa Bear are happily getting to know Baby Bear and getting his den ready for its new occupant. Happy day!
