title pic Definitely not lighter

Photo A Day #26 :: 37 weeks, 1 day

I ran into Karen the other day and she mentioned it looked like I was carrying lower. I thought maybe I had dropped (though, really did I drop or did the baby?) but until I took this picture this evening, and compared it to my other belly pictures, I wasn’t sure. Now, I know.

When I was pregnant with Fuller, I never experienced “lightening” or “dropping.” I wasn’t obsessively taking pictures either, so I don’t really have proof of that statement. But, I can tell right now my breathing is better and there is a lot more activity lower in my belly. I’m not lighter though. I have no idea why they think it should be called lightening.

I head to the doctor tomorrow (I’m on the weekly plan now) and I expect a normal visit. But really, I won’t be thinking about my own baby. I’ll be praying for and thinking about my new nephew who will be born tomorrow!
