Happy Norouz, 1392

This is the first year that after many years, I didn't go to work on eid's day. Although, it was filled with multiple appointments it was a relaxing day in general.
Our little girl's ultrasound went well, she had gained more weight and everything was normal. Last week, we finished the last 2 things I wanted to do before nini is born. First we got my belly cast over the weekend which I am pretty happy with. Pishi prepared the material and applied on my belly. It would require a bit of more work to become a work of art! I took a day off on Tuesday and got ready to take maternity pictures. The pictures look great, now we have to choose which ones we want.

Yesterday, Friday the 29th was Good Friday and was suppose to be my due date (i.e. start of week 40) however, as I predicted, I haven't gone to labour yet. Instead, Pishi, my mom and I went downtown by the lake. As Pishi had to do some work, my mom and I enjoyed the beautiful sunny day, walking and enjoying the lake side. My electric shock waves in hip became more frequent by the evening but aside from discomfort of being horizontal while sleeping, I haven't got any pain yet. Nini is very active, specially she loves, kicking me in my left rib! Some times, she extend both her logs and arms at the same time and you should see my face then! I literary can't breathe. Last week which was my last week at work, I worked from home. My last day was Thursday, March 28th! Already I was thinking how am I going to go back to work in a year!! It is a strange feeling. It is the first time ever since I have gotten married that I won't be going to work! So far, I am trying to relax and enjoy the last few days before our baby girl change our life forever. Pishi has been extra caring in the last few days, I feel so blessed and spoiled by his constant attention. I love the way he looks at me. Specially when I tell him I feel I weigh like a whale when I am in bed. Rolling is the hardest move in the world for me now!

I am hoping our baby girl decide to come on Wednesday. I know it is ridiculous to schedule a natural birth! But to be honest that is the best time!:-). I am going to relax more and complete the last final clean up before she come so we are absolutely ready.

Despite all the theories I have read and heard for giving birth, I can't visualize it. I have to start visualizing a birth with no pain:-). Last week was my final Yoga class of the season and I am planning to continue with what we have learnt till our little princess is here to keep my body calm.

Now that I have more time, I will try to update my blog more. Pray for me to have an easy delivery!
