We have finally hit the 8 month mark! Zoe is still growing and moving, but since she has less room now, we'll mostly feel her butt, back, or knees just press up against my belly as she moves. She is (as she's been pretty much this whole time) in the head down position, so I get a lot of her feet in my ribs. Usually it's not an issue, but every once-in-awhile she'll stick it up there as I lean over and I smash her foot a bit. Oops! Last night she rolled over so her arms and legs are facing out instead of her back, and it's been fun to feel her little hands and feet moving around (definitely a change from a big buldge in my stomach from her butt)! This morning she also had pretty big hiccups! It's so cute to be able to tell what she's up to in there! But other than that we haven't had a lot going on. I'm still on track as far as growth goes, and we are just anxiously awaiting her arrival!
And now....we are at 8 1/2 months! We had a doctor appointment Tuesday (5th) and got to see her! She's looking good!! Unfortunately, we did not get a picture printed. :( We were just so excited to see her so big, we didn't even think about it until after. I measured a centimeter small this week; I've been exact with a centimeter per week, but for 34 weeks I was only at 33, and I only gained a pound since the last appointment. I think it's because I've gotten better about exercising though (I lagged behind in doing much for awhile). But that's why he checked her--to make sure there was enough fluid in there with her, and nothing indicating issues with her growth, but she's fine! She'll probably just be smaller since I don't have a lot of room for her! (Which I am A-Okay with! As long as she's healthy!) We are getting SOO anxious to meet her! It was awesome seeing her today--her cute little tiny fists and all! I am so sad we didn't get a picture printed! But...next month we get to see her in real life! :) :)
And we have made our trip to the hospital to get all ready in the system--so they are ready for us when we are!
So here's a picture of us at 8 months:
