We are getting close to 7 months!!!! April 23rd can't get here fast enough. I feel like I'm ready to pop. Everything is very tight and Mason barely has any room to move around, so he's kicking a lot more now....especially at night when I have to lay on my side. As I've mentioned before, I have 7 pillows surrounding me but that still doesn't seem to work. I'm hanging in there though. I feel great! Just get winded easily and can't hardly move after I eat. Haha!My stomach is starting to get the linea negra or "black line" down the middle, which they say is caused by increases in estrogen and progesterone that results in the production of melanin. As you can see below it's visible, especially since I'm so pale right now.
Recently, I've been experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions, which the doctor warned me about. It's totally normal for anyone over 27 weeks pregnant. It's to prepare you for pregnancy. I didn't realize what it was till after I explained the symptoms to the family. It's not really painful, just very uncomfortable. It occurs more when I don't drink as much water as I should. They just come and go randomly. I'll have to mention it to my doctor on Wednesday when I go back for my next appointment.Love,
Erika, Lawton, and Baby Mason
