Today is exactly 8 weeks from my due date. Right now Ezra is around 16.69 inches long, this is the size of a honeydew melon and he now weighs 3.75 lbs! He has been breathing in amniotic fluid this week in order to exercise his lungs for when he is born. His testes may have moved into his scrotum by now, but they sometimes don't get into place until after birth.
This week has been a tough one for me, I've had loads of pain and have been feeling a little down due to this. The pain in my coxis is constant, and has even brought me to tears a few times. Being in so much discomfort and knowing that I still have 8 weeks to go is hard as I don't think I could put
up with this pain for that long, so hopefully the physio will help or we can find a different solution. I had my Anti-D this week too, which was awful. I'm a bit of a baby when it comes to injections, and I got myself really worked up about having this injection but at least it's done now.
Ezra has been moving a lot this week, and I'm now feeling most of his movement at the top of my tummy - He must be practising to play football in there because that's where his feet are. I've had a few sudden movements which has been a little uncomfortable and I felt him have hiccups for the first time this week too.
I've been thinking loads about getting prepared this week and wanting to make things look pretty. Ezra only has a small area in the corner of our bedroom so I want to put up some shelving and paint his name onto the wall above his bed.
