Taken in our backyard on Saturday, 2/13. Around 34 weeks. ******
I have to pinch myself.. Is it really 4-5 weeks away? Maybe even less?? I was told that you can have a “full term baby” at 35-40 weeks.. I just passed my 35 weeks this Monday. Although I’ve gained around 30-35 lbs- I still feel great! The only time when I feel the belly get in my way is when I’m trying to get out of bed/off the couch or when I have to bend down to tie my shoes.
Baby Nguyen is moving around a lot. He’s very active in the morning and evening time.. and anytime I’m eating anything- Especially chocolate or toffee. =)
I’m definitely getting more tired as the weeks roll by.. My emotions and feelings have been all over the place! I’m anxious, excited, happy, tired, nervous.. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the thought of actually being a parent. But a few weeks ago.. My pastor went over John 14 and this verse gave me so much comfort:
27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27
Simple.. and true.
Since the last entry- Tony and I decided to switch care from our doctor to a midwife at a birthing center. We just felt an indescribable peace about our new midwife and the birthing center. Our midwife is a Christian and we are excited to have her be a part of the birthing. Her name is Adele and she has had over 30 years of experience in midwifery. Here’s a link to the birthing center- Doesn’t it look like a bed and breakfast? http://www.waterbirth.net/
Thanks for continuing to pray for us! We can’t wait to meet Baby Nguyen!!
