I think bébé will be there very soon: contractions have started at 3:47am and are getting stronger and regular.

Bébé is always pointing his/her little bottom at the top of the bump (just like in the picture) and it always amazes me how big it makes the bump look and how funny it looks then.

Everybody says bébé is still high and I'm wondering if s/he is going to wait until his/her due date to come out...

I've been questioning myself about labor... Am I going to cope well? Will I recognise the signs? Will I know when my waters break? Are the contractions really so painful? Am I going to stay calm and polite? I really hope so. I'm putting my trust in the maternity staff because I know they've been doing it for a long time and they know what's going on. I haven't taken any classes but Peter has been very supportive and I think his presence will help a whole lot.

This week, I've tried to finish a few project and chores at home and I've been resting a lot: our bed has been my best friend so far. I think we're quite ready to welcome our little bébé. Doctor's visit is Tuesday, we might see his/her face one more time.

This week is my last week at work. I've decided to take two weeks instead of one before the due date. I think it's the best decision I've taken for the third trimester. My body can't keep up anymore and I feel very tired and achy.

Bébé has really grown, I can feel it: s/he also moves less but when s/he does, I savour every seconds. S/he responds to my caresses and voice and knows when his/her daddy is around: s/he loves his/her daddy so much already, I can tell.

Bébé has asked to rest more often this week and even though work has been busy, as soon as I was home, I'd spend some time resting in bed or in the sofa talking to him/her. I think it's been my favorite part of the day this week.
