The final stretch...

Late next month we will have our daughter in our arms. I remain small for a woman as far along in her pregnancy as I am, but the doctors comfort us with test results that show a perfectly developing baby. We're told that she is now 1.865 kg and that her due date has moved up from the 28th to the 26th of December. Personally, I'm praying that she stays inside long enough for my mother, who arrives on the 28th,  to be with us for the delivery. What a comfort her presence would be...

I've had surprisingly few pregnancy symptoms. No cravings, no unnecessary weight gain,  no exhaustion or back pain. I have the occasional leg or foot cramp, feel the urge to pee constantly, can no longer fit into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes and am finding it more difficult to lean over without breathing difficulty, but other than that, I am one of those very lucky few who are experiencing a very smooth, hick-up free pregnancy. B is being extremely supportive. He helps me cook, clean, carry heavy loads and puts up with my mood swings. Somehow he has convinced me that even now that I am nearly the same weight as him, I am even more beautiful in his eyes than pre-pregnancy when I was running around with flat abs and able to run for miles.
