Antenatal check-up this morning
And everything looks fine. Cupcake is still 3/5 engaged so she hasn't dropped down any further but my bump is the same size as last week and I've lost 2lbs, which can be signs that labour is imminent. But that could mean still two weeks away. I think it just means that all is progressing well and Cupcake will be well and truly baked in time for the cesarean.
Ran a few errands after the appointment and felt like a celebrity. I'm at that stage where people feel free to ask when the baby is due without fear of me replying 'Baby? What baby?' (it takes MUCH longer to get to that stage in England than in Texas. I was asked about the baby more than once way back in May when were in the States.). People also feel comfortable patting my belly. I've had more than one elderly lady give me a pat at the grocery store. I know some women hate that but I don't mind. I think it's quite sweet. When I was pregnant with Tobes I described it as feeling like a lucky Buddha and everyone wants to pat my belly and make a wish. That's fine with me. When else in life will I get to feel like such a magical creature?
