That number probably makes no sense to anyone that may be reading this, but it is of huge significance to me! I delivered Riley when I was 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Although she was perfectly healthy when she was born, it was still a worry for me to have this baby early as I know that things can always go wrong and I wanted to be able to get further along this time around.
So today I am 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant and proud to say that this baby is safe inside! We had an appointment today and things are looking good. According to the growth sonogram, his estimated weight is 6 lbs, 8 oz…big boy! Riley weighed in at 5 lbs, 4 oz on her birthday!
Now although I am wanting him to grow more and stay put, I am definitely starting to feel the uncomfortableness of the end of pregnancy. My ankles and hands are starting to swell. In fact, I’ve taken the wedding rings off in fear of them getting stuck. My feet hurt all.the.time. I feel HUGE and want to eat all.the.time. I’m having braxton hicks contractions pretty regularly now, and just today have started having some real contractions. Okay, enough complaining! I really am grateful that I am still pregnant!
The last picture I have of my pregnancy with Riley was taken just over a week before she arrived, at my grandmother’s funeral. It’s not a great picture and it’s hard to see the belly.
Here I am now…
Wow.

Amanda, that is absurd. Take that pillow out from under your shirt. Nobody's buying it.
