Chapter Eleven...The Worry.

Month Seven

"You may experience more movement of your baby." Dr. Harriet says and I smile knowing that she's alive and well in my stomach that I call a chamber.

"Stretch marks may appear as the skin continues to stretch." he says that this is very normal.

Another Month

I am starting to feel weird cramps now and I make a quick visit to Dr. Harriet for an emergency check up one day when Carlos is at work in DSW at the Mall.

He smiles as he comes back in after I am done putting on the gown.

"You may feel discomfort as your baby pushes on the rib cage or organs and you may feel some cramps and that is very normal in the Eighth month if pregnancy" he lets me know and I breathe a sigh of relief.

"What is she growing now?" I look at the ultrasound and see how big she is.

"Your baby's brainwaves resemble those of a newborn by this time." and then "The lungs and brain are continuing to develop and other body systems are refining to be ready for living outside of you.  Movements may slow as the baby fills more of the uterus and has less room to stretch. By the end of the month, most babies are head down and descending into the pelvic area." he makes it sound so normal but it really isn't to me since.i am the one carrying a baby inside of me that seems like an anxious monkey more than a human baby who just wants to get out and into this crazy world if chaos. And time passes into the last month.
