A rapidly growing brain makes the baby's head weigh more and that means more pressure on Mommy's bladder! I never imagined I'd literally wake up in pain, having to pee so bad that I'm afraid I won't make the 10 foot trip to the bathroom after only two hours of sleep! It's unbelievable! But what's even more unbelievable is that Jason has started getting up just as many times per night to pee as I do! But we don't wake each other up and we're up at different times! It's TOTALLY sympathy pee! I feel bad because there's really no reason for BOTH of us to be that exhausted... but it is sorta sweet. lol.
The baby should be measuring in at about 20 inches this week, continuing his steady weight gain to about 5.5 pounds. While he won't get much longer now, he will continue to pack on the pounds — including large amounts of baby fat — right up 'til delivery day. Fetal brain development is moving along at a mind-boggling pace these days as well! Good thing Daddy has been reading some of those books to him at night! Hopefully he's switched to being head-down in preparation for delivery, which is hopefully why my bladder is feeling the squeeze, causing an occasional leakage when I sneeze (or cough or laugh) without much notice. :(Mommy & Daddy celebrated their 2 yr anniversary this week! We had SUCH a great time together on Tuesday (7/7/09)... we spent the whole day at the beach with each other, went back to the campground to get showers and were planning on finishing out the night on the boardwalk but it started storming! So, we changed plans, went home and caught dinner & a movie! We saw The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It was a great movie! We had such a great day together! We probably won't celebrate another anniversary without thinking incessantly about our kids for quite a while... :)
