One more month :)

This morning I woke up with an unfamiliar feeling.....I was able to breathe! Yesterday marked one more month until our due date.  You can't imagine how much I took breathing for granted before pregnancy.  I will appreciate not being completely out of breath after one of my 5 nightly bathroom trips :)  This means that Bryn has dropped and we are one more step closer to seeing her beautiful face. By the feel of things she is also head down (considering she gets the hiccups at least 3 times a day)...yet another milestone. Except for the occasional heartburn and sleepiness I have been feeling great and we are so excited our due date is growing nearer. 

In other news, I wanted to give you new mommas-to-be so advice. As annoying as the constant emails and junk mail can be, signing up for online pregancy newsletters can have its benefits. 

As you get closer to "d-day" I really am starting to appreciate looking at the growth of our little one and seeing her approximate weight and length is. My favorite is seeing what fruit or vegetable she is closest in size to.  The free app I'm Expecting has been a great resource for me to track my weight and sypmtoms as well.

 Also, as I am starting to notice some changes in my body, these websites can be a great source of advice for getting into a better position for sleeping and tricks to avoid acid refux. I love seeing testimonials from mothers who are due around the same time as me and being able to share some things that have worked for me as well.

Another benefit these websites have is all the FREE stuff they like to send you. For instance I signed up for Similac's newsletter and they sent me a bottle and formula samples to try. Since formula can be so expensive it is nice to have some one hand to try if I need to supplement at all. 


The Bump is a website to sign up for as well as Similac.

Bye all!
