Pregnancy Update - Week 29

Yay - I am sleeping better! I still wake up a few times at night, but currently am not laying awake for hours at a time. I can't tell you how nice it is to get some decent rest at night. Everything else is pretty much the same. I keep daydreaming about how I will get back into shape after this little girl enters our lives. I just hope I can find the energy and motivation when I need to!

Pregnancy Update - Week 28

I had a doctor's appointment today. I have gained 20 pounds so far. I am not very happy about that, but I think it seems worse than it really is because I am carrying the weight differently this pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Tate I feel like I was all belly. This time I feel like you can tell I am pregnant from the back. The baby's heart rate was great and she is moving around like a champ. I have a hernia above my belly button that we are going to keep an eye on. It didn't hurt hardly at all until Dr. Hebert started looking at it and messing around with it. UNCOMFORTABLE! I also started getting some vericous veins on the back of my left thigh. THEY ARE UGLY AND THEY SUCK! I was pretty upset the first time I saw them. Now I am just hoping that they don't get worse and that they go away after the pregnancy. If not, I will be saving my pennies to get them removed. Other than all that, the pregnancy continues. The sleep lacking nights continue. No names picked out yet, and we still have a few more things to get ready in the nursery. August is coming faster and faster.

Pregnancy Update - Week 27

All I want is to have one night of GOOD sleep. Is that too much to ask? It might be. The cold I got from Tate isn't helping the sleeping situation and most nights I end up on the couch either from sheer frustration or because I am keeping Rob awake. Tylenol PM and Unisom don't help. Ugh!

Pregnancy Update - Week 26

I had another doctor's appointment today. My doctor was out on a delivery so I saw the nurse. Baby Girl's heart rate was good and I am measuring in range for my due date. I still haven't had a good night's sleep lately, but especially not last night. Tate has a fever and a runny nose. He had a long night. Truthfully, I am a little nervous about being a mother to two little ones. Excited too, but definitely anxious. I know it can be done, women do it all the time. I am just afraid that there will be so little time left for myself. I guess that is the downside to motherhood. I was looking at Tate yesterday and my heart swelled. I love that little boy so much. The thought that in a few short months I will have that much love for another little spirit is overwhelming. What an amzing blessing children are.
