Week 32

Pregnancy is such a rollercoaster!

One day, I tell Dan that I think that I'm a pretty hot pregnant lady, you know, while making a silly pose in the door frame! The day after, I cry about my new double chin, my lack of skin elasticity on my butt, my zits on my chin...you get the picture!

So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my husband who has to deal with my mood swings. When a woman gets pregnant it is common knowledge for men to shut the hell up and move on! Dan does a great job at it! However, even during my emotional breakdowns, I look at him and I see in his eyes that we are in this together.

Even if giving birth scares me, I just can't wait to see this tiny baby girl skin-to-skin with Dan!

------------------

In Montreal, the kangaroo care method is not only for preterm babies. It is common for the medical staff to wait up to 2 hours before cleaning the baby. In my birth plan, I wrote that my husband will also do the skin-to-skin...after all, he truly deserves this special bonding with his daughter.

Yeah, we did that each time. Dad put the baby girl inside his shirt while I rested/took a shower/ate lots of food or just wathed them. It's not as if babies are dirty and need to be scrubbed...

This is oh so beautiful! It sounds like your birth plan is wonderful.

The skin to skin is so important. I held and carried my kids all the time. I nursed both my kids and it was just wonderful- I actually miss nursing- such happy hormones. They are now 5 and 3. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well. The last trimester is well um... you will want to get her out. And, wow a girl. So much fun.

I have a feeling you're one hot pregnant mama-to-be! Don't let those silly hormones get you down.

I tell you, this blog is teaching me so much. I'd never even heard of the Kangaroo method. Neat!
