Weeks left until Baby Bodkin's due date: 8
I am now most comfortable sleeping:
___ on my back
___ on my side
_x_ I'll take it any way I can get it
All the books say that I am supposed to sleep on my left side because it provides the best circulation for both me and the baby; however, there is no way that I could stay on my left side all night. I have my Boppy body pillow, so I try to keep it so I face on that side. Although, I still wake up in the middle of the night on my right side or on my back. I assume my body wouldn't allow me to do something that would harm the baby so I assume that it is ok :)

Mom and Dad arrived at the end of this week! I even painted them a few paintings to help cheer up their room! This entire week however was spent cleaning and getting the house ready for their arrival. Cleaning (among other things) has become a more difficult task, so it has taken me a full week to get everything ready. It will be very nice to have them here!!! Dad will be here for two weeks, and Mom is staying until after Baby B arrives :) Check back for updates and pictures from their trip!

Baby Development Notes:
By now, Baby Bodkin weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in the uterus. I should be gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to the baby. In fact, he'll/ she'll gain a third to half of the birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he/she fattens up for survival outside the womb. Baby B now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). The skin is becoming soft and smooth as he/she plumps up in preparation for birth.
