Update

Sorry! It's been a while since my last post so I thought I would make this one an update.

I'm now 31 weeks along and Baby "JJ" (as I like to call him) is doing really well. According to the baby books, he should weigh about 3.5 lbs. He's fully developed at this point and is mostly busy putting on some weight for his big debut in 9 weeks (give or take a week or two).

As for me, I'm also doing really well. Most of the time I feel pretty good but my energy level is starting to drop and I do have trouble sleeping at night. I suffer from heartburn occasionally but mostly I feel grateful that I don't have an itchy abdomen or constant headaches. My lower back has been quite sore lately so I'm trying everything in my power to alleviate the pain. I'm currently seeing a prenatal chiropractor and prenatal massage therapist to give me some relief. I've also joined a prenatal yoga class and I absolutely love it! One of the doctors at the Low Risk Maternity Clinic suggested I try swimming as way to give my feet and back some relief so I'm considering trying that too.

I still plan on staying at work until the end of October but I'll see how that goes.

Jamie and I start our childbirth classes this Wednesday and neither of us is quite sure what to expect. I hope they keep the horror stories to a minimum but I promise I'll share the gems if they happen to come up!
