Pregnancy Journal - WEEK 33

[cavcut01]

hi Simon and Grace, Just a quick note to say hi and im very glad everything is working out! With packing a baby bag some ppl use baby towels to put over the parents shoulder for burping and things like that after feeds. A bib is also good too! Keep safe and may god bless you Simon and your little bundle of joy that you are both yet to meet!

[mummyamy]

I hope everything went well with your untrasound, I hope they dont keep you waiting to long for the results, your belly is just gorgeous so perfect, I think you are right about not being scared about the birth, it is such a natural thing for women to do, and I am sure you will do absolutely fantastic, take care, looking forward to your next video

[TheGraceDiaries]

Hey, thanks and the ultrasound went well thankyou, everything was okay so thats good. My belly is getting bigger by the day i am sure, I am looking forward to the birth coz that means we get to meet our little girl.

[CaMiJo08]

Yea I think that when you become scared it makes the situation worse .. People ask me if I'm scared as well and I'm not.. You are getting up there!! Not much longer!! It will go by kinda fast now :) I hope your ultrasound turns out great and that the baby is head down :) I'm sure everything is alright!!

[TheGraceDiaries]

I hope it goes kinda fast coz I am ready to have her now. Good luck with your labour and birth (coz we don't know when and hopefully it will be soon), I can't wait to see little Aiva. I had the u'sound today, she is growing well and her head is down, woohoo.

[CaMiJo08]

Glad that she is headdown and nothing was wrong.. Jeez doctors need to stop scaring us!! LoL Take care!!

[MasonSean04]

Well hopefully everything goes great with your ultrasound. But than again you get to look at it as...Hey I get another ultrasound! WooHoo!!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Yep, thats exactly how I am looking at it. I get to see our little girl again on Monday morning.

[vmorales1984]

Hi Grace, Love the video. Are you going to have the epidural or are you going to try natural. Thats noce to spend time with him before the baby arrives when do you think you'll go into labor what week? Any guesses. You have the prettiest belly. I still havent packed my bags yet. Its because I want to wait for the shower, I guess

You look great as always,

XOXO

Hey, Simon and I are hoping to have her on the 10th of October, that is 2 weeks before her due date (at 38 weeks). But you never know do you? Umm I would like to go as natural as possible but it is hard to say when youdon;t really know what sort of pain you will be in. I am open to all possibilities.

[vmorales1984]

My guess is that you would go in close to your due date. I dont know I have to see your belly next week, to see if it dropped. My belly dropped some already. I as well am open to all posibilties.

Good Luck, Grace. I cant wait

[TheGraceDiaries]

Yeh I don't think it has dropped too much yet

[cavspunk08]

congrats on 33 weeks hun!!! you look great as usual.cant beleve ur not scared with it being ur first and all.u feel like ur ready to be a parent in 7 or more weeks?

[TheGraceDiaries]

AAhhhh, I am going to be a mum...wow, thats pretty awsome. I can;t wait for the next stage of my life to begin.

[Medicluvstrauma]

Dont be scare! Meya is breech..and I have BAD pain in the middle of the night when I get up to use the bathroom...I didnt know that was why.....thanks for that info :)

Great bag......

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks and no worries and I know what you mean by being scared coz its your second, I have heard lots of stories from other mums,lol. Yeh that is probably why you get pain.

[neleza]

HI GRACE i want to share something with you incase you have not seen this video its a wonderful video.u will love it i hope :) her utube name is templetunes75 and the name of this video is woman sings while in labor.

[TheGraceDiaries]

cool thanks, I might take a look.

[yagher]

It's so great that you're organized and ready for D-day. And no fear for actual labour and delivery is a good, positive, mental attitude to have.

[yagher]

My son was in breach postition at the end of 7months and was too big to turn so I wound up having a caesarean. I read everything I could about labour and nothing about preparing for a c-section. Needless to say all went well with very little pain after the surgery.

[yagher]

Good luck with the utrasound. I'm sure all is well. But don't stop snacking if you're hungry. Just snack on things that are good for you. At the moment, I can not get enough of eating hoummus and cucumber! Mmm, mmm!

[TheGraceDiaries]

I'm really into coconut flavoured things at the moment, mmm. I'll try not to stop snacking. I know everything will be okay, I just have to keep an open mind because with birth (as you found out) anything can happen.

[StanSnaps]

Grat stuff baby, at what stage in the pregnancy does baby turn head down? i thought it was the last month, but maybe i'm wrong. I'm sure all will be fine, if she's around the wrong way she can be turned I'm sure XXX

[TheGraceDiaries]

Yep she can but as she grows she has less room to be turned so its good to be turned before she is too big to spin around herself. Or I can just give birth to a breach baby, Mum did with Lydia.

[JLUV27834]

You look great. The baby is going to be okay! I wouldn't worry. That's great that you have all the bags packed! It looks like your all set. See ya next week!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Yeh, I'm not worried, actually it gives me an excuse to see her again and have an ultrasound.

[MandyCandy66]

good luck with your ultrasound, I will keep you im my prayers I hope everything is perfect! I have been thinking about my Baby bag too! LOL so exciting the baby's will be here before we know it!!

[TheGraceDiaries]

I am hoping it comes up fast coz I am sick of waiting, I am so impatient! Thank you, it is a bit strange that I lost weight when I should be gaining it though.

[agipson08]

o i really hope her position is head down.

you look great!!

[TheGraceDiaries]

I do too, I have constant heartburn that doesn't go away and hope that isn't because her head is up. Thanks, I feel huge!

[agipson08]

I have the heartburn also.. Tums is my best friend through this pregnancy. But she still has some room to move so she can still go head down...

[summerchic21]

Thats great ur not scared about the birth, u shouldnt be anyway coz its a totally natural part of life, and ur so right bout it making it more painful and longer labour if u were scared & stressed. U look very organised and prepared! just one thing with the nail clippers, u probly wont want to use them on a newborn, u can bite her nails off if theyr long but clippers are lethal! U can chop off the tip of their fingers VERY easily, ive even done it on my 2year old :S Just a word of warning ;)

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks, wow I thought that could happen but I was told to take them but I had a friend that used to bite her babies nails off when she was being breastfed coz she wasn't wriggling or anything.

[HeavenSlut07]

Not long now Grace! :)

[TheGraceDiaries]

Yes...I know, at last.

[Racheous]

It's lovely seeing you all happy and excited about the birth! It's coming along so quickly!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Quickly? Not quick enough in my opinion :) lol. Yeh well its gotta happen, there's no use worrying about it ey.
