Could yesterday’s prenatal appointment be my last?! Probably just wishful thinking on our part… My body really is ready to go into labor. Of course, I could tell you all the details, but then I would be walking the fine line of TMI (“too much information”). Let’s just say, it’s time.
In the meantime, I am digging:
+ Chocolate protein shakes (I know, I’m consuming sugar… but also getting 18g of protein!)
+ Fresh air! Moving around! Being off bedrest!
+ Our gorgeous new camera
+ Picnics in bed while watching season 2 of Heroes on our laptop. As with most television shows, I have issues with dialog and plot points, and just wish I could rewrite a few of the episodes, but overall we loved the second season and are now even more pumped for season 3.
+ A carload of baby clothing and gear from our friend Jenn! All lovingly worn and super cute, with some darling organic outfits thrown in. Completely lovely and such a huge relief! It feels so good to no longer be freaked out about how much clothing we were going to have to buy over the next year. Thank you, Jenn and Brian!
+ Interacting with the baby: David talks to my belly, the baby moves just a little bit; David stops talking, the baby revs up into overdrive and moves nonstop, then pauses while we talk to him/her some more… *repeat* over and over again. I swear, it never gets old or ceases to amaze us.
sounds wonderful! If I ever have another baby I want to enjoy being pregnant. with my daughter I just wanted to see her so bad I didn’t really enjoy being pregnant. I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying until the baby arrives.
It’s been an interesting mix for me: there are so many horribly uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms (so I find myself thinking: just get through it quickly!), but I feel such joy at feeling the baby move and knowing that I will soon be a mother. I think because we didn’t do any ultra sounds the whole experience has been a bit more magical. Some days I even find it hard to believe there is a little one inside me!
I am getting REALLY curious if we’re having a boy or a girl though. (Not as curious as my sister — now she really wants to find out so she can get shopping!)
