As I write this letter, we are now 40 weeks pregnant, which is our official "guess date." We call it a guess date, because only 5% of babies actually show up on their "due date" anyway. Which is actually fine with me... I'm not quite ready to be done being pregnant, but ask me in a few more days how I feel. The good news is that it appears my belly has finally dropped. I can walk up stairs without breathing heavy, and the heartburn has basically gone away. The only downside is that instead of having to pee every 40 minutes, I now have to go every 20 minutes.
My last day of work in the office was Wednesday, and now I'm working from home until the baby comes. This has been a true blessing to have this flexibility right now, especially because last week I was hit by a nasty cold (and thanks to all this extra pregnancy blood, daily nosebleeds too- no fun!). I complained to Osei about how I was supposed to be enjoying my last week of pregnancy, this week was supposed to be really fun!
Luckily, I'm feeling much better now, and we enjoyed a beautiful weekend together- very typical New England fall weather. We spent the day Saturday frolicking around Boston, taking lots of pictures, sightseeing, and soaking in a wonderful day together. It was a perfect weekend. Osei has been pampering me silly, and we're definitely enjoying our last few "just us" moments.
Hopefully our next update will be to introduce this little kiddo cooking inside. Our birth plan is to have this baby during the Patriot's bye week.
Love, hugs, and blessings to all,
Amy, Osei, and baby "Omee"
