I Think She Dropped...

I will have to get my doctor to confirm this at my next appointment, but I really think she dropped last night. I usually feel her RIGHT UNDER my ribs. She has been above my belly button for the longest time. Last night I could not sleep and then I couldn't really feel her as prominently as I normally can. Also, when she is squirming I feel her much lower today. It also feels "lighter" on top and easier to breathe.

Now, I wish this meant I was going to have her any minute, but I still have six weeks left. I wonder if there is any correlation between when the baby drops and when you go into labor. Interesting! Did any of you know when you dropped? Did you deliver soon after?

Eight Months

Counting the days! There is nothing new or eventful to share. Joe has been so cute - having everything in the house fixed. We had a leak about a year ago that caused the ceiling to drip water and now he is concerned: "What if the ceiling is weak and falls on you and the baby?" May as well have it fixed now. We do have an older house; I think we have fixed everything possible in this house since we moved in eight years ago.

I am teaching some classes online, so that will be nice while I am on maternity. I think I mentioned this already, but I am taking off next year to be home with Bella. I really can't wait. It will be tough to be living on one salary, but we have done it before and Joe makes a good salary. Everyone is cutting back with this economy so there is plenty of advise out there.
