38w4d now.... I look big - I feel big. When the midwife felt you a few days ago, she guessed you to be approx. 7lbs - 7 1/2lbs. You're a good size baby! You're moving around a lot more inside now, feeling a bit squished?
Your heart rate measured in the 130's again at the appt two days ago. I hear the low numbers and wonder if you're a boy? Jonah's the only one who's heart rate was low (140's) and is the only boy. The others were 150-160 and were girls. The midwife says that the speculation that many have of low heart rate for boys vs higher for girls is only a guess. I wonder though. But, it wouldn't surprise me if you are a girl with a low rate either.... you are so calm. A friend's baby had a heart rate of 160 and just found out that she's carrying a boy. Hmm :)
This has been the best pregnancy, you have been so gentle to carry! I find so much peace being outside and working, and wonder if you'll be an outside baby too.
It's been very rainy lately, without too much sun. I am so hopeful of delivering you outside, but at this point in time it's looking questionable. Except for a little sun/cloudy tomorrow, it's rain though the 6th (10 day forecast). I don't doubt though that you'll know when the right time to come is.
The home birthing kit came today - we are now all set for you to come :) Only things left to do are little things.... nothing that can't wait if you decided to come tomorrow.
I don't feel ready to be done carrying you yet. At the same thing, I look so forward to holding you in my arms. I am so thankful for you. I love you.
